Re: C# console application executing command line commands?

Are you interested in creating a console mode environment with a read-execute-print-loop (REPL)? Generally, this requires a dynamic language that includes an "Eval" function that can evaluate arbitrary code at runtime and display the result. C# and Visual Basic do not have such a feature. JScript .NET, IronPython, IronRuby, F#, Boo, and Nemerl -- all .NET languages -- do.

Got that far, but apart from using

System.Console.WriteLine to write strings to the console output, without
them executing, and also trying to start a System.Diagnostics.Process
like have done in past to launch external apps, I don't seem to be able
to find out how to actually execute a command, and it always finishes
off with something like 'Press any key' when it finishes executing.

Stay well

    No you're not. All you have to do is to use the Console App template
    in VS2010 or 2008. That will set up the correct namespaces and such
    and then just tell it what you want the program to do.

    Ok, next silly question...

    Since have never really created command line/console applications,
    am now just trying to figure out how to get a console application
    created in C# to execute command line commands, and then how to get
    it to close/exit itsself after operation?

    Idea would be to create a slightly trumped up target for something
    like a send to shortcut that can do a bit more than your average
    batch file.

    Have looked for simple examples, but am obviously, again, using
    incorrect search terms or something - LOL!

    TIA
