using the command prompt in c#

[mps2]

Hi,

In C++ there is a function called System(...) that you can call to run a command from a dos prompt while running your application. Is there a similar function in C#?

Thanks

What do you want to do. There are multiple ways, if you just want to write something to the console then you can use Console Class or if you want to start a new command prmpt, you can use Process class.

I want to call an exe and pass it a string as command line args

An easy way would be to use Process Class.

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Path&NameOfEXEfile", ParameterToBePassed);

Remember you will have to pass the complete path of the exe file and the second parameter is the commandline parameter that you want to pass.

It works! Thanks
