Didn't catch what you're trying to convey. Do you want to grab command line arguments from a C# application or do you want to execute another process and give the appropriate command line arguments?

I want run one exe run in another exe but external exe should not be run manually using c# .net windows application.

That still did not make any sense. Executables do not run inside other executables.

what you want?

1. Run one executable from another executable
2. Control/Exchange data from one application to another application

Solution 1

Try:

C#

Process p1 = new Process();
p1.StartInfo.FileName = @"D:\Temp\MyFirstExe";
p1.StartInfo.Arguments = "MyFileName.txt -o myOutputFile.txt";
p1.Start();
Process p2 = new Process();
p2.StartInfo.FileName = @"D:\Temp\MySecondExe";
p2.StartInfo.Arguments = "\"Another set of arguments\" \"to pass through\"";
p2.Start();

Is it running for my case:-
Second external exe should not be run manually.
It's should be run only internal exe only.

Solution 2

Create an argument with a password, so you are the only one who can run the second exe.

MySecondExe -p password -o options

That's not going to work because you can easily get the password from the command line that was used to launch the process using Task Manager.
