Run Dos command from VB.Net

[syntaktik]

I am a complete newbie at programing, but i still want to try learning how to do it. Then i thought instead of writing large amounts of code, i could just use the included Dos commands. However, i am not even sure how to run those from VB.NET. Are there any examples or snippets out there for me to use?

shell("cmd /c")

something like that?

that looks right. Where do the commands go?
