CMD command on c#

by

I believe what you want is this:

Process p = new Process();
ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe");
// add /C for command, a space, then command
psi.Arguments = "/C dir";
p.StartInfo = psi;
p.Start();

The above code allows you to execute the commands directly in the cmd.exe instance. For example, to launch command prompt and see a directory, you assign the Arguments property of the ProcessStartInfo instance to "/C dir", which means execute the command called dir.

Another approach you could use is seen here:

// put your DOS commands in a batch file
ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("action.bat");
startInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
startInfo.WorkingDirectory = "C:\\dir"; 
Process.Start(startInfo);

Put the above code in your click event.

Create a batch file with your commands using instructions found at http://www.ehow.com/how_6534808_create-batch-files.html

In my code example, if you name the batch file ‘action.bat’ and place it in th c:dir folder, everything will work the way you want.

Cheers 🙂
