How to do the sam

Answer 1

Another way it to use mklink. It turns out that mklink is an internal command so you need cmd.exe to call it:

var psi=new ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe"," /C mklink \""+link_name+"\" \""+ target_name + "\"");
psi.CreateNoWindow = true;
psi.UseShellExecute = false;
Process.Start(psi).WaitForExit();

You can add /J or /d etc as you need.
