Process Progress using C#

The hard part of this question is getting a System.Diagnostics.Process handle to the process.
But once you've got that, it's easy: you can either use Process.WaitForExit(), or Process.HasExited.
Be warned if the process is known to return the exit code 259 (0x103), however, because that number also means it is still active (in the Win32 world). .NET does perform extra steps to see if 259 means it exited with 259 or is still active, but I wouldn't trust it.
This only tells you if the process has exited or not. In general, it is not possible to determine how much progress (eg. if it's 25% completed, or 50% completed) the process has made.
