How Do I Run A Command Prompt Command?

[That Asian Guy]

In C++, you do system("command here"); How do you do this in C# without running cmd.exe with an argument? Thanks.

Process.Start()

Process.Start("pause"); gives an error :S.

What do you expect it to do?

[Colin Angus Mackay]

He expects to run the special commands available in cmd.exe that are not exe files of their own. But he doesn't want to launch cmd.exe itself.

Like in unmanaged code when you type that it says "Press any key to continue..." Thats not what I want it to do but its an example. The school has cmd.exe blocked but I need it to run java commands in my program. Thanks.

Then run the java vm with the appropriate command line arguments. Using Process.Start is exactly like typing whatever command your want to run in the Start/Run box, not the CMD window.
