Hi All,

I want to run a command in Visual Studio Command Prompt & this should happen using either c#.net or VB.net.

I mean from C#.Net/vb.net I should be able to open VS Command prompt & execute a Command & this data to be returned back.

Thanks & Regards,

I am trying the following code & its not working as expected.

string command = @" tf help > tfshistory.txt";
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo procStartInfo =
new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo(@"cmd", @" C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" + command);

// The following commands are needed to redirect the standard output.
// This means that it will be redirected to the Process.StandardOutput StreamReader.
procStartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
procStartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
// Do not create the black window.
procStartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
// Now we create a process, assign its ProcessStartInfo and start it
System.Diagnostics.Process proc = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
proc.StartInfo = procStartInfo;
proc.Start();
// Get the output into a string
string result = proc.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
// Display the command output.
Console.WriteLine(result);
MessageBox.Show(result);

The following program will get a list of files in the current directory, in chronological order, using the dir /od command and then print them to the console:

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Diagnostics;

class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
p.StartInfo.Arguments = "/c dir /od";
p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
p.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
p.Start();
string output = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
p.WaitForExit();
Console.WriteLine(output);
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
