C# equivalent of shell command

Does anyone know what the C# equivalent of the shell command is? I want to
play an mp3 file using the users default player.

Hi Paul,

Such like this:

using System;
using System.Diagnost ics;

namespace invokemp3
{
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for Class1.
/// </summary>
class Class1
{
/// <summary>
/// The main entry point for the application.
/// </summary>
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Process p=new Process();
p.StartInfo.Fil eName=@"D:\musi c\Doctor Jones.wma";
p.StartInfo.Cre ateNoWindow=tru e;
p.Start();
}
}
}

HTH.
BTW: I love "doctor jones". :)

I remember that there is a function that could invoke shell command such as "rm" "cp", directly in .c file. But I could not recall its name, and I googled with nothing meaningful. I vaguely remember it is like: foo("cp file1 file2"); it is that simple, but cant remember. Could anyone here give me a clue?
