Executing another EXE from .NET

[Kakkanattu]

Hi,
I have one C# .NET application(MainApp).
Also I have another windows application(only EXE available), which is
developed in some other language(not .NET)(let it be SecondApp). In the
SecondApp, it has(two textboxes) one username and password and one ok
button.

My requirement is that, from my MainApp, I need to pass the username
and password to the SecondApp and execute the Click event of Ok button.

Anyone of you please help me.

Thanks

You could use Process.Start() to start the other application ..

You could then use sendkeys to send over the other information

Cheers,

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
But how to pass the two arguments(username to one text box and password
to another) to another application?. Also I need to fire the ok button
Click event.

Can you not use sendkeys to click the button? usually sending tabs or an
enter works pretty well to move to things like buttons.
