Hi Arild,

I don't want to start another process as such. Just like
System () Function in C++ which can execute the DOS
command. i would like to have the command executed for as
part of the running console application.

That, I'm afraid is not possible... You'd need to create a Process "cmd.exe"
and execute all your DOS commands thru it.

Use the Process.Start() method with cmd.exe as the command and /C "command"
as the parameters. This will start a new process, and possible a new console
window, I'm not sure if the command will inherit the current console, so you
may have to write your own code to do this.

take a look at the start command, something like "start /B cmd.exe /C dir"
should do what you are after.

Willy.
