Hi, there!

I need to execute an application from my C# program, but I have no clue how to do that...

I want to execute, say, "winrar", with all the parameters needed...

How can I do it ?

Tks in advance,

João Luiz

Hi, Atheist!

You are so faster!!!

I've tried it, while I'm waiting an answer...

Code:

Process.Start("C:\\Arquivos de Programas\\WinRar\\Winrar.exe x 
e:\\Paper_Clock.rar *.* e:\\tester\\")

I received this exception message:

Code:

System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception:The system couldn't found the specified file

If I try:

Code:

Process.Start("C:\\Arquivos de Programas\\WinRar\\Winrar.exe")

It works pretty good....
