How run this line from within a console application?

[Ronald S. Cook]

I have the following line that I wish to execute from within a VB.NET
Console Application.

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

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

Use the Process class to create a subprocess to execute the command.
