Stop Command Prompt from closing so quickly

Question

I'm trying to troubleshoot why the following function isn't working.

 public void RunCmd()
            {
                string strCmdText;
                strCmdText = "/C [enter command stuff here]";
                System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("CMD.exe", strCmdText);
            }

However whenever I try to run it or throw in some breakpoints, command opens, shows an error, and then closes really quickly (so quickly that I can't read anything).

Is there a way I can halt the program or figure out what's going on? Breakpoints don't seem to be working.

When I directly type it in Command Prompt instead of running it via this c# script, it the command works fine.

Answer 1

try this:

 strCmdText = "/K [enter command stuff here]";

/C Carries out the command specified by string and then terminates

/K Carries out the command specified by string but remains

Answer 2

Maybe try adding a pause command?
