c# - StandardOutput.ReadToEnd() hangs

Answer 1

Proposed solutions with BeginOutputReadLine() are a good way but in situations such as that, it is not applicable, because process (certainly with using WaitForExit()) exits earlier than async output finished completely.

So, I tried to implement it synchronously and found that the solution is in using Peek() method from StreamReader class. I added check for Peek() > -1 to sure that it is not the end of the stream as in MSDN article described and finally it works and stop hanging!

Here is the code:

var process = new Process();
process.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
process.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = @"C:est";
process.StartInfo.FileName = "test.exe";
process.StartInfo.Arguments = "your arguments here";

process.Start();
var output = new List<string>();

while (process.StandardOutput.Peek() > -1)
{
    output.Add(process.StandardOutput.ReadLine());
}

while (process.StandardError.Peek() > -1)
{
    output.Add(process.StandardError.ReadLine());
}
process.WaitForExit();
