I have some code that runs a cmd command in C# which works really well in a WinForm but when running this in a console app it doesn't work. I am a bit stuck as to why this is, I tried adding Windows.Forms as a reference and added the using
to the code but this didn't work either. The only other thing I can think of is that because it is running as a console it can't run another console window on top of this?
Any help is appreciated.
ProcessStartInfo cmd = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe");
cmd.RedirectStandardInput = true;
cmd.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
cmd.RedirectStandardError = true;
cmd.UseShellExecute = false;
cmd.CreateNoWindow = true;
cmd.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
Process console = Process.Start(cmd);
console.StandardInput.WriteLine("command to run");
