OpenNETCF.Diagnostics at http://www.opennetcf.org

  C# Example of the code you would use with openNETCF :
   ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo(@"\PathTo\programToRun.exe");
   Process p = Process.Start(psi");
   p.WaitForExit(); // if this is set, your code will continue after the program has excited.
