How can I run this line from within a C# console app?

[Ronald S. Cook]

I have the following line that I wish to execute from within a C# Console
Application.

svcutil.exe http://localhost/COWFeedyardService/Services/Animal.svc
/out:Animal.vb /config:App.config

Manually, I can open the Windows SDK Command Prompt and type exactly the
above and it works. But how can I make it work from within a console app?

Thanks for any help,
Ron

Try code like:

Process proc = new Process();

proc.StartInfo.FileName = @"svcutil.exe";
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = @"http://localhost/COWFeedyardService/
Services/Animal.svc/out:Animal.vb /config:App.config";
proc.Start();

That won't work as it is more than likely that the directory where
svcutil is not in the PATH environment variable.

Instead, the OP needs to specify the full path to svcutil.exe in the
arguments to the Process class. That's really the only thing that is
missing (which was pointed out in another thread to the OP as well, by
myself, and others).

Thanks Nicholas. I was just having some trouble with the syntax after all.
