Importing environment variables
-
Hello, I have written a C# console-application that depends on a number of environment variables. These variables are set in a *.bat file. I would like to run that file and have the variables set in my application's environment. Unfortunatly that doesn't work, a least not by using System.Diagnostics.Process. Am I missing something? Any Idea? Thanks for any help.

Try using the
System.Environmentclass. It has several static methods that should help solve your problem.I know System.Environment. It allows me (among other things) to set and retrieve enviroment variables. But I need to use the *.bat file because it is not under my control and I don't otherwise know the values it will set.

Won't the BAT file run in its own process and only affect that process?

Yes. That's exactly my problem. How can I either: 1.) Access the environment of that (finished!) process? -- or -- 2.) Make another process acces the environment of my process? BTW:
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo.EnvironmentVariablesis of no help here. -

Me too! That's why I asked ;)

cmd.exe /c "call settings.bat > nul & set"
and parse the output (of the 'set' command). UGLY! Any better solution will be more than welcome.

Then why not just read an XML document?
