Hi there,
Can C# code , execute commands we write in the cmd window ?
i.e: is there a way to let a C# application interact in somehow the command prompt?
example : we use the command prompt line: ipconfig to see info about the IP address of the machine, can I execute this command from the C#? (I now that there is a way in C# to get the IP address but this is not what I want , the ip address is just an example)
Thanks in advance

Here is an example. You can also tack on a p.WaitForExit(); if needed.

DOS commands occur in "that" process. So, the cmdshell does accept the and act upon the CD directive, however, once that command shell closes, the process of changing directories has nothing to do with the next command shell directive because it would be in a new shell.

Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.FileName = "IPCONFIG";
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
p.StartInfo.Arguments = "/all";
p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
