process.start timeout

[phpman]

I have this little application that is like a app window. Basically it just has shortcuts that we can click on. I have the below function that runs the shortcut. is there anyway to check for timeout calls? Because every once in awhile a user will get the following error. This particular error was from an IE shortcut so basically it was on the local machine. Other shortcuts point to mapped drives.

                Dim myProcess As New Process()
                Dim myProcessStartInfo As New ProcessStartInfo(p1)
                myProcess.StartInfo.FileName = p1
               
                myProcess.Start()
                
            End If

        Catch ex As Exception
            Debug.WriteLine(ex.Message)
            MsgBox("Timeout Occured" & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & ex.Message & Chr(13), vbOKOnly, "Failed To Start")
        End Try
    End Sub

If the error is occurring when you already have an active Catch, that suggests that it is coming from the external program so there's probably not whole lot can be done about it. Does it crash your program?

thanks dunfiddlin, yes, it does crash the program. well I get the error and it closes the app out.
