How to pass multiple arguments in processStartInfo?

Question

I want to run some cmd command from c#code. I followed some blogs and tutorial and got the answer, but I am in little bit confused i.e how should I pass multiple arguments?

I use follow code:

System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process(); System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo(); startInfo.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Normal; startInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe"; startInfo.Arguments =  ... 

What will be the startInfo.Arguments value for the following command line code?

• makecert -sk server -sky exchange -pe -n CN=localhost -ir LocalMachine -is Root -ic MyCA.cer -sr LocalMachine -ss My MyAdHocTestCert.cer

• netsh http add sslcert ipport=127.0.0.1:8085 certhash=0000000000003ed9cd0c315bbb6dc1c08da5e6 appid={00112233-4455-6677-8899-AABBCCDDEEFF} clientcertnegotiation=enable

Answer 1

It is purely a string:

startInfo.Arguments = "-sk server -sky exchange -pe -n CN=localhost -ir LocalMachine -is Root -ic MyCA.cer -sr LocalMachine -ss My MyAdHocTestCert.cer" 

Of course, when arguments contain whitespaces you'll have to escape them using \" \", like:

"... -ss \"My MyAdHocTestCert.cer\"" 

See MSDN for this.

Answer 2

System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process(); System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo(); startInfo.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Normal; startInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe"; startInfo.Arguments = @"/c -sk server -sky exchange -pe -n CN=localhost -ir LocalMachine -is Root -ic MyCA.cer -sr LocalMachine -ss My MyAdHocTestCert.cer" 

use /c as a cmd argument to close cmd.exe once its finish processing your commands
