[Sr Frank]

Hi, I am creating a Process in C# and want to print my "strName" value to command prompt. This code is not printing any value , please let me know the right code. I know this code is wrong,,but if we pass Arguents then? string strName = "Alex"; Process pr = new Process(); pr.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe"; pr.Start(); Thanks

Have you tried going into the project properties and building it as a Console Application? Then just do: Console.WriteLine(strName);

I am trying to do with process.

Using this code , and where to add new line of code which prints value to commandprompt. string strName = "Alex"; Process pr = new Process(); pr.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe"; pr.Start();

Ok, if you want to actually send commands to the prompt, as opposed to just outputting text, you can do that via standard input...

pr.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
pr.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
pr.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
pr.Start();
pr.StartInput.WriteLine(strName);

Of course, "Alex" isn't a command, so this is just going to give an error. If you're trying to do something else, you're going to have to be a little more clear, because your question is rather vague.
