System.Diagnostics.Process

[dcusick]

Hello everyone. I am looking to execute a program from my ASP.NET webpage. I have found that you can do this by creating a new System.Diagnostics.Process object, setting the parameters, and runing the Start() method. This works fine for some apps (like I can run Notepad.exe fine) but it's not working right for my exe. I am running a command-line executable with a bunch of arguments. I have everything set up correctly, but when I call the Start() method, IE(and firefox) bring up the File Save/Run dialog box. I don't want the user to have this option. I want it to happen behind the scenes and return a value. Is there anything I can do? Am I doing something wrong? Here's my code...

         dim MyProcess as new System.Diagnostics.Process
         myProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true
         myProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true
         myProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "My.exe"
         myProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = "My Args"
         myProcess.Start()

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The ASPNET process needs to have execute permissions on the directory where the exe resides.

Otherwise, it will try to download it (which is what you're seeing).
