Question

I need to execute a command line from a .NET windows application.

I tried with this code, but I got an error:

‘C:\Documents’ is not recognized as an
internal or external command, operable
program or batch file.

var command ="\"C:\\Documents and Settings\\Administrator\\My Documents\\test.exe\" \"D:\\abc.pdf\" \"C:\\Documents and Settings\\Administrator\\My Documents\\def.pdf\"";

var processInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd","/c " + command)
{
    UseShellExecute = false,
    RedirectStandardError = true,
    CreateNoWindow = true
};
var p = Process.Start(processInfo);

I don’t think you need to shell out to cmd. Just call the exe directly:

var command ="\"C:\\Documents and Settings\\Administrator\\My Documents\\test.exe\" \"D:\\abc.pdf\" \"C:\\Documents and Settings\\Administrator\\My Documents\\def.pdf\"";
var processInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(command)
                      {
                          UseShellExecute = false,
                          RedirectStandardError = true,
                          CreateNoWindow = true
                      };
var p = Process.Start(processInfo);
