C# Capturing an already running Process's STDOut

I'm wanting to capture a processes standard out stream after it has already been started.

ie. something like this pseudo code:

var process = Process.GetProcessById(1234);
process.OutputDataReceived += process_OutputDataReceived;
process.ErrorDataReceived += process_ErrorDataReceived;
process.Exited += process_Exited;
process.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
process.BeginErrorReadLine();
process.BeginOutputReadLine();

Id love a solution that doesn't force me to create pipes or call native code if possible etc.

What about 

process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();

Also process.BeginOutputReadLine(); may be of use.

Ofcourse this is assuming the original process was started with UseShellExecute = false and RedirectStandardOutput = true

EDIT

As the process was possibly started using the shell and without redirection of stdout. Have a look at http://pastebin.com/f3eda7c8
