Running an exe in with commandline parameters

Question

I have exe which i want to execute from c#, when I try to run the file from c# it does nothing.
When i run the file from DOS it works.
What do i wrong?
My code is:

                foreach (string srcFile in srcFileDialog.FileNames)
                {
                    string exec = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath) + @"\OTTO.EXE";
                    string param = srcFile + " -cA";
                    System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(exec, param);
                }

In annex the exe file.

Can somebody help me?

You can use the F9 key to put a breakpoint on a line of source code. When you do, a red circle will appear in the margin at the left. Then when you debug, the debugger will stop execution of your program when execution gets to a line with a breakpoint. Then you can hover the mouse over an item, such as "exec" to see what is in the item. There is much, much more about debugging that you need to learn about if you are not familiar with debugging. My short description above is probably not enough for you to understand how to use the debugger. You need to find tutorials and articles and documentation and books about debugging; debugging is an important thing to know about.

I've tried the try/catch blocks, it doesn't return an error. The strange thing is that when the command-prompt starts from c# it is empty. When I double click on the file I can see a menu. Can you explain the part a little bit more where I can see the exact data in the .exe. I don't understand what to do.

Try using try/catch blocks, in case that shows an error. Then use debug to see the exact data in "exec" and ensure it is correct.
