Hi,
can anyone tell me how can I execute an external command such as dos command
through my windows application which is built in C#.

VB has the "Shell(...)" function but I couldn't find something like this in
C#.

Thanks
George

Have a look at the Process class in System.Diagnostics. There are varying
degrees of complexity to this, but at it's simplest, you can:

Process.Start( name of file to start );
