Calling a new process from ASP.NET web page

[bienwell]

Hi all,

I want to call a new process that sends email from the ASP.NET program. This
process runs in background and does not affect the performance of the
ASP.NET page .What I did was to develop a console application and complile
it to have an exe file. In ASP.NET page I call this exe file. Here is the
code to call this process from the ASP.NET page

Dim theTest As System.Diagnostics.Process = New System.Diagnostics.Process()

Dim i As System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo = New
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo()

i.FileName = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory.ToString & "\EmailApp.exe"

i.Arguments = "email_address parameter1 parameter2"

i.CreateNoWindow = True

i.UseShellExecute = False

theTest.StartInfo = i

theTest.Start()

and the error "The system cannot find the file specified" was pointed to
this TheTestStart()

Please provide the rcorrect source codes if you can.

Thanks in advance.

Why don't you just make an email class for your app and make the method call
on a background thread?
