Calling an executable from code

[jconner]

Hey guys...sorry for the newbie question here, but I'm wanting to execute the BCP command utility (bcp.exe) from code (VB.NET). The app allows the user to plug in the command line switches and then needs to call the executable. I'll build the command line string with all the switches, but I don't know what the best way is to call the executable.

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Dim p() As System.Diagnostics.Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("outlook&quot

If p.Length = 0 Then
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(BCP.exe)
Else
MessageBox.Show("BCP running!&quot
End If
