How to run iis express from winforms app

Veeresh Kumar

My code is that.

public void ExecuteCommandSync(object command)
{
try
{
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo procStartInfo =
new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo("cmd", "ipconfig " + command);
procStartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Maximized;

//procStartInfo.Arguments = @" C:\Users\star";
procStartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
procStartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
procStartInfo.CreateNoWindow = false;

System.Diagnostics.Process proc = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
proc.StartInfo = procStartInfo;
proc.Start();

string result = proc.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();

proc.WaitForExit();

Console.WriteLine(result);

}
catch (Exception objException)
{
}
}

I can not run cmd prompt from that code this is showing only project directory but i don't want that.

Hi Veeresh,
Yes, you can use command prompt and you can get project path using AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory. Please look into the below link for your reference.
