Performing command prompt commands from within an application

[d0ndela]

Hi there

My question is: How do I perform a command line command from within a windows form/class etc. ?

Not any specific command yet, but any examples would be appreciated, so far I've just been testing with a simple exe file, so trying to invoke "c:\test.exe" from inside the code.

I tried just using the Console.WriteLine("c:\\test.exe"); but that didnt do the trick

Regards Thomas

Hi,

You can run your exe as
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("c:\test.exe")

Yeah thanks.

But I guess it was me who expressed myself unclear. I only tested with an .exe file so far because it is easy to see if it gets executed, in my final application it wont call exe files, it will perform UNC commands on remote machines.

So I'd like to be able to send any given command to the prompt.

Hi,

You can run any command or application that can be run from the Command Prompt.
