Question

I am invoking an exe file (which is essentially a cgi script) with using the .net Process and ProcessInfo classes. I need to be able to set some environment variables before I call Process.Start.

If I was to go the DOS Command line route I would be doing this:

 SET UrlString=http://mytest

How does the SET command translate to .Net in the context of using the Process class?

Answer 1

You can use StartInfo property of process object and add variables to EnvironmentVariables dictionary

var prc = new Process();
prc.StartInfo.EnvironmentVariables["UrlString"] = "http://mytest";

*update: Be sure to see comment by sixlettervariables (tnx!), and set UseShellExecute to false
