How to run multiple powershell script files in one powershell window started by a C# application using Process.Start()

I'm using Process.Start() to start Powershell to execute a script. I would like to run multiple script files one after the other in the same Powershell Window so that they all have the same session.
 
Please let me know if there is a way to achieve this .
 
Thanks in Advance !

create a powershell script that calls all the others and run that script in your Process.Start()

This is how we are executing them now. We would like to have more control over the scripts. For example, I would like to run script5 after running script3 skipping script4.

Doing so is a bad idea. Processes are well isolated. How are you going to communicate with the script? It's much better to invoke PowerShell from your .NET application.
Please see this CodeProject article:

Thank you, Espen. —SA
Good suggestion from digimanus - you could even be a bit smarter and create the controller script on the fly.

If I create a controller script on the fly, I have to call Process.Start(createdonthefly.ps1) for every controller script I create. We'll lose sessions if we do this
