execute a application

[FastRodas]

Hi to all,

 

i am developing a window application in c# and i want it to run another aplication that i did.

 

what the other aplication does is receives a specific number of arguments and return a string. The basics, in main function i do a Console.Write(String).

 

With my new application i want to get this string.

 

So how can i execute the application and how can i get the string?

 

thx to all

System.Diagnostic.Process.Start("Application.exe");

 

For retrieving your information... you could make your application to write to a file and retrieive information from this file once it's finished.

 

By the way... it's not the best solution but if someone know how to do better... I'm ready to learn.

	System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo ps = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();
	ps.FileName="CMD.EXE";	//change to your exe
	ps.Arguments="/?";		//change to you arguments
	ps.RedirectStandardOutput=true;
	System.Diagnostics.Process p = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
	ps.UseShellExecute=false;
	p.StartInfo=ps;
	p.Start();
	string s = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
