.NET Forum / Windows Forms / WinForm General / July 2004Invoking a command line .exe program
Hi, I have a simple .exe application that I need to invoke from my C# application. I need to send it two strings and then get the result back. Can anyone advise me on how this is done? Also, I'm currently using a windows forms application but I would like to use an ASP.net appliocation to invoke the .exe file in the future. Is this possible and will it cause any complications? Thanks everyone Simon Answer to the first part of the question: take a look at System.Diagnostics.Process.

Thanks everyone Simon Simon, ASP.NET application can invoke an ece in the same way as Windows form one. The only difference is that you will need to grant "run executable" rights to account aspnet runs under.

I would strongly suggest that you look for another solution to your problem, perhaps rewriting the executable as a windows service (or wrapping it on one) and having the ASP application set certain conditions (such as a flag in the DB) that cause the code currently in the executable to run.

The other responders gave you the answer. I have a question: did you write the command line app? If so, can it be rewritten in .NET? That would give you some better answers when it comes to using resources, especially if you plan to run this in a server. Running it from a web page will work, but it won't be terribly scalable. --- Nick > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Simon Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
