System.Diagnostics.Process.Start

[programmerboy]

I am trying to open folders on different servers using System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt method. Some folders are opening but others are giving me error that unknown user name and password. Is there a way I can pass user id and password to this method so it can open folder for me. Lets say my user id is "abc123" and password is "password".
Thanks in advance

Check the ProcessStartInf o object, it appears to have places were credentials can be supplied.

I am not sure what you meant. If you could please give me an example then it will be nice.
Thanks

You should try to look things up for yourself as well. Did you even google it?

It's not too hard:

using System.Diagnostics;
.
.
.
ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo("path to executable here");
psi.UserName = "username";
string p = "password";
char[] ch = p.ToCharArray();
foreach(char c in ch)
  s.AppendChar(c);
psi.Password = s;
Process.Start(psi);

You should learn to use IntelliSense. It's the popup in Visual Studio that suggests/autofinishes code for you. Type in an object and then a period, and it will show you its methods and members. I've learned more by scrolling through that popup than I have from anything else.

For example, I'd never heard of a SecureString before I tried this. But using IntelliSensee, I figured it out without having to go to the internet. It's a good trick to know.

Thanks man! I will definitely use your advice.

Oops, just so you know, I missed a piece of code there that you might need:
[code]
.
.
//just insert this line
System.Security .SecureString s = new System.Security .SecureString() ;
//above this line
string p = "password";
.
