open command prompt within form?

Question

Is it possible to have a command window open within a form? I have some shell scripts that I need to execute from my C# app and I don't want an extra window to pop up.

I think I've figured out the direction I need to go with this. will start new thread with better explaination of what I'm trying to do.

I've used Process.Start() to execute the program but it opens it in a new window. What I need is a control or something within my existing form that will display the program. Example: when I execute my application left side of form have a textbox to contain a list of computers and a textbox to contain a filename. have a button to execute filecopy. on right side of form display command prompt which will display all output that a normal command prompt window would. by the same thinking could maybe have an instance of iexplore.exe display within my form.

Have you tried to launch the script by just using System.Diagnostics.Process.Start? System.Diagnostics. Process .Start( c:\temp\GeoBase_Data_Models_NRNC1_v01.pdf );
