Running EXE with parameters

Question

I need help in trying to execute an executable from my C# application.
Suppose the path is cPath, the EXE is HHTCtrlp.exe and the parameter that has to be passed is cParams.

How would I go about this?

The reason why the path is a variable is that there are 3 different EXE files to run and the path will change depending on which one will run, same with the parameter string.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

To start the process with parameters, you can use following code:

string filename = Path.Combine(cPath,"HHTCtrlp.exe");
var proc = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(filename, cParams);

To kill/exit the program again, you can use following code:

proc.CloseMainWindow(); 
proc.Close();

@stephen - wow it worked. Now is there a way to kill or exit that program (the HHTCtrlp.exe) as if the exit button was clicked on it? – Privesh Aug 11 '11 at 10:31

`Process proc = Process.Start(filename, cParams); /*...*/ proc.CloseMainWindow(); proc.Close();` – Stephan Bauer Aug 11 '11 at 11:00

ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(string.Concat(cPath, "\\", "HHTCtrlp.exe"));
startInfo.Arguments =cParams;
startInfo.UseShellExecute = false; 
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(startInfo);
