I want to pass a string password in System.Diagnostics.Process.Start.

The problem is that the defined password parameter is SecureString not
string while my password is string.

Normal casting evaluates to errors.

Please how to cast string to SecureString?

Many Thanks in Advance.

I found a simple way:

char[] passwordChars = passwordPre.ToCharArray();

SecureString password = new SecureString();

foreach (char c in passwordChars)

{

password.AppendChar(c);

}
