Controlling cmd.exe from Winforms

Question

Question: I want to control cmd.exe from winforms.

I DO NOT mean every command in a single process, with startupinfo, and then stop.

I mean for example start

Answer 1

You don't need to use cmd.exe for this, you can call the commands directly with Process.Start(). If you redirect StandardInput and StandardOutput you can control the process.

I have written an example as a response to another question.

Edit
I don't have a complete example for it, but you could listen to StandardOutput with the Process.OutputDataReceived event if you don't want to wait synchronously. There is an example on the MSDN page.
