Using MSDN I got a class to write a wrapper for my command line tool.
Now I am facing a problem, if I execute exe through the command line with arguments, it works fine without any errors.
But when I try to pass arguments from Wrapper, it resets the program.
I wanted to know if I am passing the arguments correctly, and if I am mistaken, could someone please indicate. This is the LaunchEXE class from MSDN
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.IO;
namespace SPDB
{
public class LaunchEXE
{
internal static string Run(string exeName, string argsLine, int timeoutSeconds)
{
StreamReader outputStream = StreamReader.Null;
string output = "";
bool success = false;
try
{
Process newProcess = new Process();
newProcess.StartInfo.FileName = exeName;
newProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = argsLine;
newProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
newProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
newProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
newProcess.Start();
if (0 == timeoutSeconds)
{
outputStream = newProcess.StandardOutput;
output = outputStream.ReadToEnd();
newProcess.WaitForExit();
}
else
{
success = newProcess.WaitForExit(timeoutSeconds * 1000);
if (success)
{
outputStream = newProcess.StandardOutput;
output = outputStream.ReadToEnd();
}
else
{
output = "Timed out at " + timeoutSeconds + " seconds waiting for " + exeName + " to exit.";
}
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
throw (new Exception("An error occurred running " + exeName + ".", e));
}
finally
{
outputStream.Close();
}
return "\t" + output;
}
}
}
This is how I pass arguments from my main program (Form1.cs)
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string output;
output = LaunchEXE.Run(@"C:\Program Files (x86)\MyFolder\MyConsole.exe", "/BACKUP C:\\MyBackupProfile.txt", 100);
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(output);
}
The command line tool accepts the following command and works fine:
C: \ Program Files (x86) \ MyFolder> MyConsole.exe / BACKUP C: \ MyBackupProfile.txt
