Running cmd commands with Administrator rights
c#, c#-4.0, winforms
Solution
See System.Diagnostics.Process http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.process.aspx
There is also this SO answer to this same exact question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/1469790/25882
Example:
System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();
startInfo.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
startInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
startInfo.Arguments = "/C copy /b Image1.jpg + Archive.rar Image2.jpg";
startInfo.Verb = "runas";
process.StartInfo = startInfo;
process.Start();
Problem
How can I run the command `**cd..**` behind the scenes of a Windows Form? (i.e. the user cannot see it) Thanks.
