I am new to Windows programming and am trying to get my head around C# (like it so far).

I would some advice on how to do the following :-

I have .exe delivered to me from a third party that creates software key. It takes on argument (a filename) and encrypts it
(eg filecrypt.exe key.dat, this is how I run it from the command line).

I want to make a more user friendly form to create the file that is to be encrypted (I can do this), what I can't work out is how to run this exe from within my application.

I think I am part of the way there by using this code
using System.Diagnostics
Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("notepad.exe");
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
p.Start();

I can't though work out how to start the process with a file as an argument.

Any ideas ? Anyone done this before ?

Hi,

You can use the following to specify the argument.

   p.StartInfo.Arguments = "MyFile.txt";

Check out this article for some examples, http://www.csharpfriends.com/Article...?articleID=122. For more details, refer to the .NET Framework SDK.

Good luck.


Best regards,

Jude.
