using System.Diagnostics;

//This namespace provides access to local and remote processes and enables you to start and stop local system processes.

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
       // string str = @"C:\windows\system32\notepad.exe";

       // string str = @"C:\windows\system32\winamp.exe";

        string str = @"C:\Documents and Settings\Puru\Desktop\NewsLetter\SendNewsletter.exe";
        Process process = new Process();
        process.StartInfo.FileName = str;
        process.Start();
    }

Hi Team;

Server side

How to run .EXE on button click in C#

Use the Name space
using System.Diagnostics;

private void MyButtonClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

Process[] procs = Process.GetProcessesByName("winword");
TheProcessYouNamed = Process.Start("winword.exe");

}

Or Client Side

Thank's

you need to go to your Form.cs file, where the EventHandler is located.

MyButton.Click += new EventHandler(MyButtonClick);

This points to the MyButtonClick function.

Now you need to add:

using System.Diagnostics;

Then create a process:
Process TheProcessYouNamed;

private void MyButtonClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TheProcessYouNamed = Process.Start("EXEToRun.exe");

TheProcessYouNamed.CloseMainWindow();
}

OR

This code uses JS to run an application on a client side (windows).

If you write that out into the HTML, it will open up notepad when the user views the page
