c# - Process waitForExit() doesn't work

Question

I have the following code:

Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.FileName = Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath) + "\unRAR.exe";



p.StartInfo.Arguments = @"e c:appData.rar c:folderek";

p.Start();
p.WaitForExit(9000);

I would like the window not to close after extracting files (unRAR.exe extracts them). WaitForExit(9000) seems not to work. I read dozens of sites and still can't find any solution.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fb4aw7b8.aspx reading this article tells you that the WaitForExit() does not keep the program alive, it just waits for the associated program to exit. If the associated program(unzip.exe here) exits, you will not be able to stop the unzip.exe program from exiting.
