C# Process.start

A program in C # can launch another program using the Process class. The kind of process is part of the System.Diagnostics namespace. You start another program from an instance of a process object, the establishment of the members of which is owned StartInfo, and invoking it start () method. Listing 1 shows how to start a process from C #.

Starting a Process: ProcessStart.cs

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;

namespace csharp_station.howto
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Demonstrates how to start another program from C#
    /// </summary>
    class ProcessStart
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Process notePad = new Process();

            notePad.StartInfo.FileName   = "notepad.exe";
            notePad.StartInfo.Arguments = "ProcessStart.cs";

            notePad.Start();
        }
    }
}

When the program runs in Listing 1 will open the Windows (TM) Notepad application in editing mode in ProcessStart.cs file. The first thing the program is an instance of an object called Process notebook.

Process notePad = new Process();
