SystemInfo, IPCONFIG, MEM etc

Thank you in advance for any and all assistance.

Is there a way to get information programmatically from the data rendered at
a command prompt into say a listview box or listbox or other programming
controls?

You could start the command line tools and capture the output if there are
no classes which support obtaining the information:

Herfried,

Thank you for your rapid response. I'm trying to avoid Console Apps

look at and try windows powershell (formerly monad). not that I have done
this sort of thing, but I was listening to a hansleminutes podcast and they
were talking about how they could call into powershell (which has the hooks
into many windows admin things) without showing it. The nice thing about
powershell is that it is a shell where you pipe .net objects, not text
strings.
