Solution 1

You can use:

C#

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"cscript //B //Nologo c:\<path>\myScriptFile.vbs");
</path>

Please keep in mind that you will have limited interaction with the script from your application.

thanks nathan,

i use below code
Try
Dim start As New ProcessStartInfo
start.FileName = "C:\WINDOWS\system32\cscript.exe"
start.Arguments = "C:\ProgramFiles\ActiveXperts\NetworkMonitor\Scripts\Monitor(vbs)\Cpu.Vbs"
start.UseShellExecute = False
start.RedirectStandardOutput = True
start.RedirectStandardError = True
Dim myproc As New Process
myproc.StartInfo = start
myproc.Start()
Dim so As System.IO.StreamReader
Dim se As System.IO.StreamReader
se = myproc.StandardError
so = myproc.StandardOutput
myproc.WaitForExit()
MsgBox(so.ReadToEnd)
MsgBox(se.ReadToEnd)
Catch ex As Exception

End Try
but i getting error like script file not found with the preifx like this i was getting

According to CPallini's link below you don't need to execute off of cscript, which makes my answer less than ideal. Change start.FileName = "C:\ProgramFiles\ActiveXperts\NetworkMonitor\Scripts\Monitor(vbs)\Cpu.Vbs"

and remove start.Arguments based on that.

You are right. A comprehensive way of using WSH would be linking to the Windows Host Script Model library, which you can always do in .NET, because this is just the OCX module. Please see my answer.

As Nathan correctly put it in Solution 1, running an external process for such purposes won't be very good. A comprehensive way of using WSH would be linking to the Windows Host Script Model library, which you can always do in .NET, because this is just the OCX module. Please see my answer.

Solution 3

If you want to use WSH seriously, don't run the script as a separate process. As Solution 1 correctly explained, your interaction with that process would be limited. Instead, link Windows Host Script Model in your application.

To do so, add a reference to your project. Use the tab "COM" of the "Add Reference Window", choose, "Windows Host Script Model" (wshom.ocx). The wrapper with the interface will be generated for your project C# project. You will need to use the namespace IWshRuntimeLibrary. Follow the Windows Script Host documentation.

Public Class Form1

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Dim p = Process.Start("D:\Cpu.Vbs")
' p.WaitForExit()
Dim so As System.IO.StreamReader
Dim se As System.IO.StreamReader
se = p.StandardError

p.WaitForExit()
MsgBox(so.ReadToEnd)
MsgBox(se.ReadToEnd)
End Sub
End Class

This code has nothing to do with my solution. I said: don't start the process, embed WSH...
