Problems to run methods ShellExecute on process Batch

Many times we execute code that behaves differently when running batch. This often may force us to change the code and use other classes.

I will detail the issues of running the ShellExecute method of class Winapi. The code hadto download data from external table in other on AX:

Public void ImportCustInvoiceTable()
{
    InteropPermission    perm = new InteropPermission( InteropKind::ClrInterop );
    str                  _str;
    ;

perm.assert();

_str = curExt();
winapi::shellExecute(“InsertCustInvoice.exe',curExt());
}

I resolved the problem using the classes System.Diagnostics.Process and System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo.

The result was:

server static void ImportCustInvoiceTableForBatch()

{
        System.Diagnostics.Process              process;
        System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo   processStartInfo;
        Boolean        start;
        FileName    _fileName
        ;

// Assert CLRInterop permission
new InteropPermission(InteropKind::ClrInterop).assert();

_fileName = “InsertCustInvoice.exe';

//Se instancia ProcessStartInfo en el que se pasa la ruta del ejecutable y los parámetros necesarios
processStartInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo(_fileName,curExt());

// Se instancia la clase Process
process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();

// Use the system shell to execute the process
processStartInfo.set_UseShellExecute(false);

// Attach the starting information to the process
process.set_StartInfo(processStartInfo);

// Start the process and wait for it to complete
start = process.Start();

process.Close();

CodeAccessPermission::revertAssert();

}
