Launching Process

Hi,

I would like to launch a process from within my application, at present I am using the System.Diagnostics.Process class to launch the process. In addition, I am passing in any command line arguments using the second parameter of the start method, e.g. :

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(oTask.Command, oTask.Arguments);

This works fine for most things. However it doesnt seem to work when the target is specified in the same format as the target field within a Windows Shortcut, for example if the target path of the shortcut is:

Comms.exe WaitForExit=0

I pass this as:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Comms.exe","WaitForExit=0");

Any ideas?

Thanks

Thanks for the replies but as stated, I am already using the arguments property to pass command arguments. It seems the problem may not originate from the use the of command arguments more the process equivalent of Windows "start in" property.

Does anyone know how the start in property can be specified for a process?

Thanks.
