running cmd in asp.net

Question

I want to run cmd in a asp.net application. Here is my code:

System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
process.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd";
process.StartInfo.Arguments = "cd C:\\";
process.Start();

The program starts the cmd.exe but instead of "C:>" I see this:

C:\program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Devserver\10.0>

Could somebody tell me what i do wrong in the code? Thanks in advance!

The Arguments are used as the parameters to the application being called, therefore it's the same as having cmd "cd c:\" in your Run prompt under the Start Menu.

In this instance, what I think you want is the following (instead of the Arguments line)...

process.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = "c:\\";
