To launch the c/java from c#, assuming is an exe file, or the file extension has a 'open with' configured on your system, you can use some thing like

var fileToLaunch = "SomeFilePathHere";
var process = new Process();
process.StartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo()
{
    UseShellExecute = true,
    FileName = fileToOpen
};

process.Start();
process.WaitForExit();

then to open the resulting file, you can use a stream reader like:

StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(resultingFilePath);
string text = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
streamReader.Close();

You shall need project references for the System.Diagnostics and The System.IO namespaces

Hope this helps
