How do I tie into the standard input and output with C#?

What I am trying to do is see if I can u开发者_C百科se the MinGW C++ compiler and debugger to compile files using a C# app. I want to be able to read the output and write to the input (input mainly for the debugger) within the C# app whenever I need to.

Reading from output will be much like Visual Studio does in its 'Output' window durring a project build.

I have used System.Diagnostics.Process before but haven't been able to figure out how to interact with the processes.

So, how do I take control of std input/output?

The following question shows how to capture standard output:

How do I run a Console Application, capture the output and display it in a Literal?

Writing to standard input is similar -- set RedirectStandardInput to true, and use a streamwriter to write to it:
