Hi All,

I want to run Exe using C# code. I have myprogram.exe and i want to run it
by passing "myfile.cs" parameter. I test it on commant promt but when i run it by following code EXE is not execute. Code is as

Process proc = new Process();
proc.StartInfo.FileName = @"E:\test\testEXE\myprogram.exe";

proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;

procAStoCS.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
procAStoCS.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;

string str = @"E:\test\testEXE\myfile.cs";

procAStoCS.StartInfo.Arguments = str ;

procAStoCS.Start(); // Start

procAStoCS.WaitForExit();

i develop myprogram.exe in C#. Is there any special setting for Exe develop in C#, because if i use above code for running some other exe i.e. Notepad then it is working fine.

Thanks in Advance

does 'myprogram.exe' run in taskmanager?
is 'mygprogram' designed to take parameters?

hi
myProgram.exe is not running in Taskmanager. When i test this exe on command prompt by passing parameter, it runs as expected. Myprogram.exe is designed to take parameters.

Thanks

procAStoCS.StartInfo.Arguments = str ;

procAStoCS.Start(); // Start

procAStoCS.WaitForExit();

what is procAStoCS ??

Edit - Assuming there was some typo in the code you shared. What happenes or doesnt happen when you run this code i.e. the exe doesn't fire or the parameter is not passed to it ? what does proc.Start return ?

proc.Start returns a bool whether the invoke was success/failure. what is it in your case

bool result = proc.Start();

Is the process not being started or is your paramter not being passed ?

bool result = proc.Start();

Above code return "true" value means that process get start.

How to change the Application Directory path in Windows Explorer control

What makes you say that the code doesn't invoke? What I am trying to understand is, are you expecting some result which is not happening?

A quick test would be putting a writeline to see what the passed in argument is coming as.

io.fileinfo has most of that info. I think there are more in the fileinfo attributes as well

I think you are talking about "Size on disk", if its that then Size on disk is calculated by block size, each file saved in blocks. In NTFS, the block size is 4096 bytes( 4 KB ) that mean if your file size is 1 KB then it will take 4 KB, 3 KB will be padding to align the other data. So if you gonna need Size on disk then you can use

(long)Math.Ceiling((double)fileinfo.Length / 4096); // wrote in CP, not tested

Note : it was about NTFS, dunno about FAT

That's pretty rubbish.

- Cluster size depends on formating options. The default cluster size depends on file system (NTFS, FAT[32], exFAT...) and on the size of the disk.
- Files can be compressed at cluster level which has huge impact.
- Files can be fragmented.
- Files can be on another drive (yes, symbolic links exist on NTFS)
- Sparse files (which by definition don't actually take on the disk their size initially)
- ...
