Shell commands in ASP.NET?

[Allan Rojas]

Hi,

I want to execute a shell command and retrieve the output of it, is there a
method to do it? All i have found is how to start a process (cmd /C), but i
cannot retrieve the result of the command execution.

For example, it would be ideal if there would be a method like:

string result = ExecuteShellCom mand("dir *.txt");

thnx in advance...

Re: Shell commands in ASP.NET?

You want to look at the System.Diagnost ics.Process namespace.


Cheers!

Re: Shell commands in ASP.NET?

I already did; but when executing the following code, i get a
System.InvalidO perationExcepti on: StandardOut has not been redirected.


System.Diagnost ics.Process myP = System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt("cmd",
@"/C dir C:\");
Response.Output .Write(myP.Stan dardOutput.Read ToEnd());

Thnx in advance...

Re: Shell commands in ASP.NET?

you probably need to set

myP.StartInfo.R edirectStandard Output = true;

btw, if you only want to list out files, i would recommend the System.IO
namespace.

hth,
