  Check the Process and the ProcessStartInfo classes.

  thanks,, this is my code:
  
  

  try             {                 ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe","netstat -n");                 info.RedirectStandardInput = true;                 info.RedirectStandardOutput = true;                 info.CreateNoWindow = true;                 info.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;                 info.UseShellExecute = false;                 Process process = Process.Start(info);                 System.IO.StreamReader rdr = process.StandardOutput;                 int count = rdr.Read();                 char[] text = new char[count];                 rdr.Read(text, 0, text.Length);                 rdr.Close();                 string x = null;                 foreach (char c in text)                 {                     x = x + c;                 }                 Console.WriteLine(x);             }             catch (Exception ex)             {                 Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());             }

  
  
  but my result is this:
  
  Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]... <--- this allways shows up when u open the cmd,,, how can i get the result of the command netstat - n or maybe dir =(

  ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo( @"cmd" ); info.RedirectStandardInput = true; info.RedirectStandardOutput = true; info.CreateNoWindow = true; info.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden; Process process = Process.Start( info );

  
  
  Use the StandardInput stream property to send command and StandardOutput stream to read the responses.

  Use my first code sample and when the process is idle and you received all information just kill the process and it stops running. Then code code will continue.
  
  I never tested the code and just wrote it out the head.

  You need to read until the process has exited:
  
  

  try { ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe","netstat -n"); info.RedirectStandardInput = true; info.RedirectStandardOutput = true; info.CreateNoWindow = true; info.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden; info.UseShellExecute = false; Process process = Process.Start(info); using( StreamReader reader = process.StandardOutput ) { while( !process.HasExited ) { string line = reader.ReadLine(); Debug.WriteLine( line, "Console output" ); } } } catch (Exception ex) { Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString()); }

  
  
  Or when you use netstat only once:
  

  try { ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe","netstat -n"); info.RedirectStandardInput = true; info.RedirectStandardOutput = true; info.CreateNoWindow = true; info.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden; info.UseShellExecute = false; Process process = Process.Start(info); process.WaitForExit(); using( StreamReader reader = process.StandardOutput ) { string fullOuput = reader.ReadToEnd(); Debug.WriteLine( fullOuput, "Console output" ); } } catch (Exception ex) { Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString()); }
