Hi there, I am trying to write a simple GUI for Robocopy. In the code below I can get the CMD window to appear - very briefly ... then disappear -- essentially I think my code is "working" except it's not getting my variables passed and/ or the arguements.

Help is most appreciated -- Thanks -- Scott

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
    public partial class Robocopy : Form
    {
        public Robocopy()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            
        }
        private void Srcbutton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            folderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog();
        }
        private void Destbutton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            folderBrowserDialog2.ShowDialog();
        }
        private void Cpybutton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string SrcFold = folderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath;
            string DestFold = folderBrowserDialog2.SelectedPath;
            string args = "\"" + SrcFold + "\" " + DestFold + "\" /E /COPY:dat";
            ProcessStartInfo StartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo
            {
                WorkingDirectory = @"C:\RoboCopy_IT_Folder",
                Arguments = "args",
                FileName = @"C:\Windows\System32\robocopy.exe",
                RedirectStandardError = true,
                RedirectStandardOutput = true,
                WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal,
                UseShellExecute = false
            };
            Process NewProcess = new Process();
            NewProcess.StartInfo = StartInfo;
            if (NewProcess.Start())
            {
                NewProcess.WaitForExit();
                //ProcessOutput.Text = NewProcess.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();                
            }
        }       
    }
}

I think the operand of this line
Arguments = "args";

should not have the double quote characters. You want to send the contents of args to the new process.
