I am trying the following code & its not working as expected. string command = @ tf help > tfshistory.txt; System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo procStartInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo(@cmd @ C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat + command); // The following commands are needed to redirect the standard output. // This means that it will be redirected to the Process.StandardOutput StreamReader. procStartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true; procStartInfo.UseShellExecute = false; // Do not create the black window. procStartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true; // Now we create a process assign its ProcessStartInfo and start it System.Diagnostics.Process proc = new System.Diagnostics.Process(); proc.StartInfo = procStartInfo; proc.Start(); // Get the output into a string string result = proc.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd(); // Display the command output. Console.WriteLine(result); MessageBox.Show(result);

The following program will get a list of files in the current directory in chronological order using the dir /od command and then print them to the console: using System; using System.IO; using System.Diagnostics; class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { Process p = new Process(); p.StartInfo.FileName = cmd.exe; p.StartInfo.Arguments = /c dir /od; p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true; p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false; p.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true; p.Start(); string output = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd(); p.WaitForExit(); Console.WriteLine(output); Console.ReadKey(); } }
