Running a Batch file in C# Form

Question

I was wondering if there was any way for me to put my .BAT file into my C# Form like here :https://prnt.sc/s1ne88

Is there any way that i can run the BAT from inside the Form

Other Terms : I only want to download the Exe and have the BAT inside the C# form and it run from inside

you can execute a batch file (or any other executable) from a C# program, yes. Pretty sure you can find examples on google already. — ADyson

You can include the file in your C# program using the .NET embedded resoruce managers. But you cannot run a batch file from memory, which you would have to do, see this answer. You could embed the batch file as text, and then execute it in some other way, for example, by writing it to a temporary file first. — dialer

you can change the Copy to Output Directory property for the .bat file to be in the same folder as the executable — Slai

you can create the bat file from your application using StreamWriter and then run it:

StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter("file.bat");
sw.WriteLine("ping 8.8.8.8");
sw.Dispose();
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("file.bat");

OR

you can run the bat commands directly from your application: Documentation

string cmd = "/k ipconfig";
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("cmd.exe", cmd);
