Process - Invalid

[Guest]

I have the following lines of code:

System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
process.StartInfo.FileName = "intupld.exe";
process.StartInfo.Arguments = hupFile;
process.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = hencePath;

The problem I am running into is, if I run the code as listed above, the
Argument does not seem to be passed to the *.exe file, as a command window is
opened and sits waiting for "input."

However: if I run the code as follows (this is how it was ran under old VB6):
System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
process.StartInfo.FileName = "intupld.exe " + hupFile;
process.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = hencePath;

I get an error of the file not being found.

How would I be able to call this *.exe file and pass in the file argument?

Thanks
Andy

Andy,

The code loks ok to me.

Argument does not seem to be passed to the *.exe file, as a command window
is
opened and sits waiting for "input."

I don't quite understand this.

BTW the Process.Start method has a overload that excepts exe and command
arguments. If you don't do anything special you can use it.

Hi,

Argument does not seem to be passed to the *.exe file, as a command window

I find this difficult to understand, I have more than once execute an
external program with parameters and I have never had any problem.

Also consider using the fullpath to the executable.
