How do you spawn a batch process from a C# program in a Windows form? I used
to do this in C++ with a spawn command but I can't find the equivalent
instruction in C#. Can anyone tell me how to execute an external program
from a Windows form program by submitting a command line instruction?

Hi Jim;
Thanks for your reply. It is exactly what I was looking for. I don't know
what Microsoft or I would do without people like you due to the cryptic
Microsoft documentation.

Hello Parrot,
Glad to help. The hardest part of dotnet is knowing which namespace they
put stuff in. It just takes some time to get your head around. I've been
working with it for 5 years now and still keep finding new stuff.
