Executing command C# Not Working

I have a program where I want to do the following:

1. Get a file (type unknown)
2. Save file locally
3. Execute some command (unknown) on the file

I have step 1 and 2 taken care of but I am struggling on step 3. I use th开发者_如何学Pythone following code:

NOTE: The file type and command are just used for testing

//Redirects output
procStart.RedirectStandardOutput = false;
procStart.UseShellExecute = true;
procStart.FileName = "C:\\Users\\Me\\Desktop\\Test\\System_Instructions.txt";
procStart.Arguments = "mkdir TestDir";

//No black window
procStart.CreateNoWindow = true;

Process.Start(procStart);

The .txt document will open, but the command will not be run (there will be no testDir in the test folder)

Suggestions?

you should not call Response.End like that because this terminates it.

I think the issue is that your Process isn't setup properly.

Your current code will open a .txt file using the default .txt file opener (since you specified procStart.UseShellExecute = true;) You then set procStart.Arguments = "mkdir TestDir"; But that's not actually going to help you, since all that will happen is "mkdir TestDir" will be passed as command-line arguments to notepad.exe.

What you really want is either:

1. A separate ProcessStartInfo with the FileName set to cmd.exe (and set Arguments = "/C mkdir Test")
2. Use the CreateDirectory() method directly.

I would prefer #2, since it more clearly shows what you'd like to do, but either should work.

UPDATE: If you need to use option 1, then you should use the following code to see what's going wrong:

Process userCommandProc = Process.Start(procStart);
userCommandProc.WaitForExit();

if (userCommandProc.ExitCode != 0)
{
    // Something has (very likely) gone wrong
}
else
{
    // Most likely working
}

A couple other notes:

1. This process will be run on the server, not the client computer. If you need the latter, you're out of luck if you want to use a web app.
2. This kind of processing is probably better left to a standard .ashx handler then a web page; page loads should be as snappy as possible.
