Run Control

Run Control allows you to execute programs from Visual Basic, ASP, Windows Scripting Host or any other development environments that support ActiveX controls. Run Control can wait for the process, get the return code, capture the output of DOS/Windows console programs and redirect their input. The output of console programs can be translated from OEM into ANSI character set. By default, the control executes processes synchronously. However, Run Control can execute a process asynchronously; that is, the Execute method returns immediately. When the process exits, the Exited event is fired. You can stop execution using the Kill method.
