Topic: Run external program and receive data

Hello,

i would like to  use MVD for my hardware test-bench. I test electronics and I want to store results in database. I am able to create C# program to process communication over serial port (RS232) with testbench. I would like to know if there is any way how to run external program (I saw some examples using OpenFile method) and receive data from this program.

Ideal world solution:
- open form for testing
- scan serial number of hardware unit I am testing
- run .exe file
- receive string with details about test

Can we discuss "real world usage"? How to do this, if it's even possible etc...?

Than you,
Jan
