How to run 2 files c# without opening window

I got 1 mapper (.exe) and 1 driver (.sys) and i want to do so that when i execute them i want to run mapper as admin with the driver and not create a window (keep it hidden). can anyone help. I have the following code down but nor does it run the mapper as admin with the spoof and it still also creates a window! help!
string map = "C:\\SCSpoofer\\mapper.exe";
Process myProcess = new Process();
myProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
myProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
myProcess.StartInfo.Verb = "runas";
myProcess = Process.Start(map, sys);
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(150);
myProcess.Kill();```

// Create a Process to launch a command window (hidden) to create the item templates
Process process = new Process();
ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
startInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
startInfo.WorkingDirectory = Project.ServicesFolder;
startInfo.Arguments = "/C " + CreateServices;
process.StartInfo = startInfo;
process.Start();

How to run some CMD commands one by one (As admin)

I have a few commands I want to run through the CMD (admin):
ipconfig/flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
netsh winsock reset
Anyone can tell me how?

Question of is sort answered here: Running cmd commands with Administrator rights
The code could be duplicated (as shown below):
System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();
startInfo.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
startInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
startInfo.Arguments = "/C ipconfig /flushdns";
startInfo.Verb = "runas";
process.StartInfo = startInfo;
process.Start();
System.Diagnostics.Process process2 = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo startInfo2 = new
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();
startInfo2.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
startInfo2.FileName = "cmd.exe";
startInfo2.Arguments = "/C ipconfig /renew";
startInfo2.Verb = "runas";
process2.StartInfo = startInfo2;
process2.Start();

If you are looking to use powershell, you can create a script which will include your commands something like this:
& "command 1";
& "command 2";
etc.

Open bat file by c#, but it's closed immediately [duplicate]

I currently have a portion of code that creates a new Process and executes it from the shell.
Process p = new Process();
...
p.Start();
p.WaitForExit();
This keeps the window open while the process is running, which is great. However, I also want to keep the window open after it finishes to view potential messages. Is there a way to do this?

It is easier to just capture the output from both the StandardOutput and the StandardError, store each output in a StringBuilder and use that result when the process is finished.
var sb = new StringBuilder();
Process p = new Process();
// redirect the output
p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
// hookup the eventhandlers to capture the data that is received
p.OutputDataReceived += (sender, args) => sb.AppendLine(args.Data);
p.ErrorDataReceived += (sender, args) => sb.AppendLine(args.Data);
// direct start
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute=false;
p.Start();
// start our event pumps
p.BeginOutputReadLine();
p.BeginErrorReadLine();
// until we are done
p.WaitForExit();
// do whatever you need with the content of sb.ToString();
You can add extra formatting in the sb.AppendLine statement to distinguish between standard and error output, like so: sb.AppendLine("ERR: {0}", args.Data);

This will open the shell, start your executable and keep the shell window open when the process ends
Process p = new Process();
ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo();
psi.FileName = "CMD.EXE";
psi.Arguments = "/K yourmainprocess.exe";
p.StartInfo = psi;
p.Start();
p.WaitForExit();
or simply
ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo();
psi.FileName = "CMD.EXE";
psi.Arguments = "/K yourmainprocess.exe";
Process p = Process.Start(psi);
if(p != null && !p.HasExited)
p.WaitForExit();

Be carefull espacially on switch /k, because in many examples is usually used /c.
CMD /K Run Command and then return to the CMD prompt.
CMD /C Run Command and then terminate
var p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
p.StartInfo.Arguments = "/k yourmainprocess.exe";
p.Start();
p.WaitForExit();

Regarding: "Member Process.Start(ProcessStartInfo) cannot be accessed with an instance reference; qualify it with a type name instead"
This fixed the problem for me....
ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo();
psi.FileName = "CMD.EXE";
psi.Arguments = "/K yourmainprocess.exe";
Process p = Process.Start(psi);
p.WaitForExit();

working directory for cygwin using it in c#

I have a problem, I start cygwin commands with c#, what is working fine. The Problem is to set the working directory.
pathANDcommand = C:\cygwin\bin\ls.exe";
arg = " -lisa";
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();
startInfo.FileName = pathANDcommand;
startInfo.Arguments = arg;
output.Enqueue(arg + "\n" + "\n");
startInfo.WorkingDirectory = #"\cygdrive\c\Users\jhb\Source\Repos\myprogramm";
startInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
startInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
startInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
startInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
startInfo.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
process.StartInfo = startInfo;
process.Start();
If I set startInfo.WorkingDirectory to a windows path the program will run, but the command does not run in the path I set.

C# process RedirectStandardOutput not redirecting

I want to redirect standardoutput of a Process in a richTextBox. Here is my process configuration,
string command = "/K perl C:\\Server.pl ";
ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
Process proc = new Process();
startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal;
startInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
startInfo.Arguments = command;
startInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
startInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
proc.StartInfo = startInfo;
proc.OutputDataReceived += (s, ea) => this.richTextBox1.AppendText(ea.Data);
proc.Start();
proc.BeginOutputReadLine();
Here is my Server.pl file
print "Server1 \n";
while(1)
{
print "Server \n";
sleep 1;
}
But when I run the program the cmd.exe is just black and nothing printed in richTextBox. but when I change the
startInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = false;
I have this out put in my cmd.exe:
Server1
Server
Server
Server
...
How I can work around this issue ?

Might be as simple as disabling output buffering in your perl script. This is done using the $| special variable (see perlvar).
$| = 1;
print "Server1 \n";
...
