Question

I’m using this code run in windows command prompt..
But I need this done programmatically using C# code

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319>aspnet_regiis.exe -pdf “connection
Strings” “C:\Users\XXX\Desktop\connection string\DNN”

Answer 1

You may use the Process.Start method:

Process.Start(
    @"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe",
    @"-pdf ""connection Strings"" ""C:\Users\XXX\Desktop\connection string\DNN"""
);

or if you want more control over the shell and be able to capture for example the standard output and error you could use the overload taking a ProcessStartInfo:

var psi = new ProcessStartInfo(@"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe")
{
    Arguments = @"-pdf ""connection Strings"" ""C:\Users\XXX\Desktop\connection string\DNN""",
    UseShellExecute = false,
    CreateNoWindow = true
};
Process.Start(psi);
