The following code snippet can be used to run a command as if you are opening a DOS prompt and typing it in.
public static string MyDOSMethod() { ProcessStartInfo si = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe"); si.RedirectStandardInput = true; si.RedirectStandardOutput = true; si.UseShellExecute = false; Process p = Process.Start(si); p.StandardInput.WriteLine(@"cd \windows\system32"); p.StandardInput.WriteLine("exit"); try { return p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd(); } catch (Exception e) { return e.Message; } }
