How do pass parameter to EXE
We can use below mention method pass parameter to an Exe from different application. WPF application or Windows form application , we can use common way to do it.
1. Add reference System.Diagnostics your class.
2. Then need start process.
ProcessStartInfo processStrInfo = new
ProcessStartInfo();
processStrInfo.FileName = /// Exe path;
processStrInfo.Arguments = /// Parameter to pass as string;
processStrInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
Process.Start(processStrInfo);
3. parameter can send as string.
string tempCommandArgs ="TestPara";
ProcessStartInfo processStrInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
processStrInfo.FileName = "test.exe"; /// Exe path;
processStrInfo.Arguments = tempCommandArgs /// Parameter to pass as string;
processStrInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
Process.Start(processStrInfo);
4 .When we passing multiple parameter, we can use space between parameters .
tempCommandArgs =COMPANYNAME +
" "+USERID
5. If parameter value have spaces.
ex - COMPANYNAME can be "Test Company"
In this time we can use below method (add stroke to start of parameter and end of parameter)
tempCommandArgs ="\"" + COMPANYNAME + "\"" + " "
+"\"" + USERlOGINNAME. + "\"";
Note:-
This is way to pass parameter to Exe as argument , But running exe from another running application (exe) is not good practice. It will consume some more memory
Now take a look at how to consume passed argument form exe.
Note:-
This example I have done with WPF application
1. We can override OnStartup in App.xaml.cs
protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)
{
string[] args = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs();
args = e.Args;
if (args.Count() > 0)
{
COMPANYNAME = args[0];
USERNAME = args[1];
}
}
