Pause the execution until Batch File finishes

I'm running a batch file using Process. The problem is I want the batch file to finish its execution and then the next set of lines should be executed. Here's the code snippet.

Process proc = new Process();
proc.StartInfo.FileName = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + sFileName+".bat";
proc.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
proc.Start();
Thread.Sleep(1000);
// Method which will be executed after the batch file
Method1();

Method1() should execute only when the batch file has completed its execution.

Can anyone please help?

You can simply call

proc.WaitForExit();
Method1();

Instructs the Process component to wait the specified number of milliseconds for the associated process to exit.

Note there is no need for your

Thread.Sleep(1000);
