How to run script in command prompt using .net code

[moondaddy]

I have a c# 3.0 solution where I need to periodically run a script at the
command prompt for certain tasks. I would like to be able to do this from
executing some .net code rather than manually coping the path to the script
file into the command prompt and then running it. How can this be done?

Thanks.

One thing you can do is have a c# solution with a timer and based on
the timer you set you can create a Process (using System.Diagnostics)
where you can pass the command line aruguments that you want to run
and run it. Thats it.

If you'd like to run the script pre- or post-build, you can add it in
the "ProjectName" > Properties > Build Events area. There are a few
options of when you want to run the post-build event.

goodluck,

Hi Moondaddy,

In .net framework, the "System.Diagnostics.Process" class can help you
programmtically launch and execute another program. For your scenario, you
can use it to execute the cmd.exe program and add additional parameters to
the process.

here is a good article which provide an encapsulated version of using
Process class to execute cmd command:
