Various Tools into Code

[jnwel]

I'm trying to create a program that integrates a bunch of different tools. I think I'm going to download a few programs for a science calculator, graphic calculator, metric conversion calculator, English dictionary, etc. I'm not sure how to get these programs to show in my program. I don't know if they need to be created within a form or if the periodic table image needs to go into a picturebox. I'm using Microsoft Visula C# .NET

What I would basically like to have is a bunch of buttons that link to the various resources.

If you know of a more uniform way of going about this, please let me know.

Thankyou for any help

You could launch the different applications as a new process.


System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
process.StartInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo("PathToMyExternalProcess.exe");
process.Start();
