Opening a DOS window with some path

[Aads]

Hi there,

Can anyone tell me how to open a DOS window from a VB.NET app pointing to my own path which I pass as a parameter. For ex: I want the DOS window to be opened with D:\TestBed\MyApp\. All I want to know is how do I pass the path "D:\TestBed\MyApp" to the DOS window.

Thanks in advance,
Aads

Hi,

I found this works:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("cmd", "/k cd\test")
 

where 'cd\test' navigates to the folder you want to start in. (using VB.net 2003 Standard Ed. with Windows XPsp2)

EDIT:

You can also use:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("cmd", "/k h: && cd\test")
 

after /k you can write additional arguments separated by 2 ampersands - the above example takes me to my H: drive and changes the folder to H:\TEST\
