Hi.

I'm new to C# programming. I need to asynchronously (from a Web service) run a number of instances of the same process and, then, check if they have all finished. For this, I use a C# process array. Could anyone please tell me if the following code is be correct (conditional compilation in bold)?

string ls_exe="c:\payroll.exe" //Process to be executed
string ls_parm //Command line argument of the process
integer li_n=5 //Number of instances of the process to be executed (actually an unknown and not fixed value)
integer li_proc //Number of executed instances of the process
integer li_done //Number of terminated instances of the process
integer li_k //For iteration

//Declare unbounded array of processes

#if defined pbwebservice then
     system.diagnostics.process proc[]
#end if

//Assign and execute the array of processes

do while true
     //For...Next not used because number of instances is actually unknown
     li_k ++
     ls_parm = string(li_k)
     #if defined pbwebservice then
          proc[li_k] = system.diagnostics.process.start(ls_exe, ls_parm)
     #end if
     if li_k > li_n then exit //No more instances to execute
loop

//Check for termination of all process instances in the array

#if defined pbwebservice then
     li_proc = proc.getupperbound(0) //Number of executed process instances
#end if

do while true //Scan continually the array to check termination
     for li_k = 0 to li_proc
          #if defined pbwebservice then
               if proc[li_k].hasexited then li_done ++ //Increase count of terminated instances
          #end if
     next
     if li_done = li_proc then exit //Number of terminated instances equals the number of executed instances
loop

//Display termination message

#if defined pbwebservice then
     console.writeline("All process instances have been terminated")
#end if
