Hi,

I have this situation:
A worker thread creates and starts a process and then it needs to wait for
it to exit.
Now, its possible that the thread to be aborted using the Thread.Abort().
I know this is not the recommended way but for some reasons I cannot change
this behaviour now.

The problem is how to wait for the process exit taking into account the
thread abort.
if the thread is using
process.WaitForExit();
the Abort() call wont return until the process exits.
this is because the WaitForExit() I think what it does is to "make an
unmanaged call into the operating system that has blocked the thread in
unmanaged code" (quoted from MSDN).

(Blocking issues)

An idea would be to do this:
WaitHandle waitForExit = new WaitHandle();
waitForExit.Handle = process.Handle;
waitFoExit.WaitOne();

the MSDN says at Handle Process property that it could be used to intialize
a WaitHandle and the "Blocking Issues" section suggest that
WaitHandle.WaitOne() is a recommended way to wait in order for the
Thread.Abort() to interrupt the thread.

what do you think ?
