Executing an external program...

How would I start an external program (like notepad) from within visual basic .net and then wait for notepad to be closed before resuming execution?



The link I'm providing used to be the good ole way to do it in VB6.

Dim loProcess As System.Diagnostics.Process

loProcess = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("notepad.exe")
loProcess.WaitForExit()
