Console output not shown properly

[EDN Admin]

Hi,
I have written a GUI front end to a console application, used for programming a microcontoller, using ProcessStartInfo. If I run either the debug, or release build from within the Visual studio 2008 environment, the application runs correctly. If I run the
release build by running the .exe file I only see the first line of the console output, if I run the debug build it works fine.
Can some please explain what is going wrong here. I have pasted the code below.
Thanks
Andrew
