Get console app output into a VB app.

I am planning to run a console based C++ application (I do not have the
source for) as a hidden process form my VB.NET application and was wondering
if there is a simpler way to get the output of the console application into
a text box on by VB.NET form other than just having the consoles output sent
to a file and then open and read in the file.
