Shell commands in ASP.NET?

[Allan Rojas]

Hi,

I want to execute a shell command and retrieve the output of it, is there a
method to do it? All i have found is how to start a process (cmd /C), but i
cannot retrieve the result of the command execution.

For example, it would be ideal if there would be a method like:

string result = ExecuteShellCommand("dir *.txt");

thnx in advance...

You want to look at the System.Diagnostics.Process namespace.

I already did; but when executing the following code, i get a
System.InvalidOperationException: StandardOut has not been redirected.
System.Diagnostics.Process myP = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("cmd",
@"/C dir C:\");
Response.Output.Write(myP.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd ());

Thnx in advance...

you probably need to set

myP.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;

btw, if you only want to list out files, i would recommend the System.IO
namespace.
