Hi all,
I have a issue that I have to import a .exe file into my C# project
can any one suggest how can I import that in my project
actually its an R-Project's .exe file which is used for Statistical computation
I have to import it into my C# project and I have to work from there itself

Welcome to the Forums.

You can add it as an Embedded Resource but are you licensed to redistribute the exe? You may run into issues if not.

Then you will have to extract it to disk if you plan on running it.

I would suggest just deploying the EXE into the same folder as your own application, assuming you are licensed to do so, as Rob suggests.
