Question

Im creating a Windows Service and I want to put a dynamic path in the code. But it only accepts static code.

This works:

Process.Start("C:\\Program Files\\Program\\Program.exe", "-socket 12345");  

But this doesnt:

String path = "C:\\Program Files\\Program";  
String programName = "\\Program.exe";  
String fileLocation = path + programName;  
Process.Start(fileLocation, "-socket 12345");  

Someone can help me?

You should never concat paths. Use Path.Combine instead.

String path = @"C:\Program Files\Program";  
String programName = "Program.exe";  
String fileLocation = System.IO.Path.Combine(path, programName);
Process.Start(fileLocation, "-socket 12345");
