Because the code runs on ASP.NET's server side, client won't know whether some process started or not! These APIs should be used on client-side, not on server-side.

the code is on server side bro it has to work on client click

Yes, I know, but how will client be notified of that process? That was my point.

The process that started on server-side cannot be notified to client unless you write something which streams down the "Process started..." string to client. I am sure the process was started, but since client is on browser. He was not notified.

If there had been a trouble, you would have got an exception, which is not a case here.

thanks for your reply,leave the thing about client know the process but the main point is server side code is not run properly.

Is it Asp.NET application(web based) or normal windows or console application?

What is the sample.exe designed to do? If it runs and exits without waiting for user input that is the expected behavior when you run it.

The code is correct: it should work fine, except the backslash characters in the executable string.
Try this instead:

C#

process1.StartInfo.FileName = @"d:\work\sample.exe");
