Wait for Program to finish in Commandline? - Haters Ganna Hate - Jan 20, 2017
I want my program to do a command in the commandline, then wait till that command finishes and it jumps back to CMD asking for the next command.
How would I do that?

Well in order to create a command line and execute a command in it, you can try using Process.Start.

yup what he said, if i recall the process class has this method that would block the current thread until it was exited.
Code
dim p as process = Process.Start("path\to\app.ex")
p.WaitForExit()I might be wrong but this should be it

You should have a second argument to it, which will be the commands to run.
Code
Process.Start("path\to\app.exe", "command here")
