Problem with System.Diagnostics.Process in ASP .NET

[Ron Fidel]

Hi,

I'm not able to run external applications from ASP .NET
(C#) with the Process class. The program appears in the
Windows Task Manager but doesn't run.

[Alvin Bruney]

if it is in the task manager that implies it is running. how are you firing
the external app?
here is a complete example, pay attention to the hidden attribute

ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo("notepad.exe");
psi.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;

Process p = new Process();
p.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
p.Exited += new EventHandler(MyExited);
p.StartInfo = psi;
p.Start();

..... do stuff ...

p.Kill(); // Try killing the process

My guess is that your external application is running under a different user
(and thus in the non-interactive desktop).

Try setting your ASP.NET process to the user account of a user and logging
in to the server as that user.

I'm trying to run a command script (.cmd) with arguments,
the same way I run it from the command line. The ASP .NET
code is running without errors but nothing is happaning.
My code is:
process1.StartInfo.FileName = DirPath + "\\makelist.cmd";
process1.StartInfo.Arguments = StreamName;
process1.Start();

I also tried with adding
process1.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
process1.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
but it doesn't help.

BTW
I'm trying to convert a VB6 code that did the job with
Shell (DirPath & "\makeList.cmd " & StreamName)

Thanks,
