Solution 1

You can use Process.Start("cmd.exe"); It's in the Diganostics namespace.

See MSDN[^]

[Edit]If you don't want the user to be able to type into the cmd session then this stack overflow article[^] will show you how.[/Edit]

From OP:

I want to interact with dos prompt from my .net application(i.e. send the command and receive the output), Please tell me how to do this?

My 4. Simply say: System.Diagnostics.Process.Start. Also, this is not a correct question.
Please see my answer to see what I mean.

Solution 3

There is no such thing as "DOS prompt" anymore, period. Know what are you asking about.
