Shell command via windows form app

Asked by dnfeldman in .Net Editors & IDEs, C# Programming Language, Microsoft Visual C#.Net

Tags:

I need to run shell commands from a windows form app in C#.  I have written the attached code but it does not work how I like.  With the "/C" in the command the shell opens the command is issued and then the terminal closes.  If I remove the "/C" the terminal opens and then nothing happens.  The command is never issued.  How can I solve this?  The reason I need the terminal to stay open is that I need to run a chain of commands in the same terminal.

The attached code isnt the command I will need to run but just a simple example.
