c# wait task finish code example

Example 1: c# start process and wait for exit code

public virtual bool Install(string InstallApp, string InstallArgs)
    {
        System.Diagnostics.Process installProcess = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
        //settings up parameters for the install process
        installProcess.StartInfo.FileName = InstallApp;
        installProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = InstallArgs;

        installProcess.Start();

        installProcess.WaitForExit();
        // Check for sucessful completion
        return (installProcess.ExitCode == 0) ? true : false;
    }

Example 2: c# wait seconds

//wait 2 seconds
Thread.Sleep(2000);
Task.Delay(2000);

//Both are valid options but I would recommend Task.Delay() as you can still use your UI while waiting
