c# standard output readtoEnd()

I have the following problem. I run an exe but i can't see in my console application everything that the exe contains. I've expected to see in the console application at least the text i am writing in the running executable. where am i wrong?

1) how can i print in the console application the text that i'm writing in the exe that i run? is that possible? i would also like to use tje standard input stream. I mean I would like to read from the exe and also write in the exe using my application.Here is the code:

Need some help. Thx!

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        string s;



        ProcessStartInfo p = new ProcessStartInfo();
        p.UseShellExecute = false;
        p.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
        p.RedirectStandardInput = true;
        p.RedirectStandardError = true;
        p.FileName = @"notepad.exe";

        using (Process pp = Process.Start (p))
        {
            string output = pp.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
            //pp.WaitForExit();
            StreamReader myStreamReader = pp.StandardError;

            // finally output the string
            Console.WriteLine("output is: "+output+"....."+myStreamReader.ReadLine());
          //  pp.Close();
            Thread.Sleep (2000);
        }

The Standard* streams are only applicable to console applications. You are running notepad, which is not a console application.
