I have to pass parameters to DTEXEC utility through ASP.NET code. I am using the process.start() method to trigger the SSIS package execution.

String 1

dtexec /file C:\ssis\pkg1.dtsx 
       /conn "MyConnectionManager";"\"Data Source=localhost\TestSQL2008R2;Initial Catalog=ConnDB;Integrated Security=SSPI;\""

String 2

/file C:\ssis\pkg1.dtsx 
/conn "MyConnectionManager;Data Source=localhost\TestSQL2008R2;Initial Catalog=ConnDB;Integrated Security=SSPI;"

The above command line arguments are generated while manually executing the package through DTEXEC utility. However, I need to pass through this command line to process.start() method in ASP.NET using C#.

How can I represent the above command line within C# string statement? In other words, how do I escape the special characters by making use of @ character and pass a valid statement to process.start()?

    A verbatim string literal is probably easiest to use for hard coding such strings.

    You only need to double up every inner ":

    @"dtexec /file C:\ssis\pkg1.dtsx /conn ""MyConnectionManager"";""\""Data Source=localhost\TestSQL2008R2;Initial Catalog=ConnDB;Integrated Security=SSPI;\""""";

    And:

    @"/file C:\ssis\pkg1.dtsx /conn ""MyConnectionManager;Data Source=localhost\TestSQL2008R2;Initial Catalog=ConnDB;Integrated Security=SSPI;""";

    With “regular” strings, you would need to escape each " and \ in the original with a \ before them.
