C# Start EXE with Parameters and Save

Question

At the moment I start a EXE-File so:

    System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo processStartInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();
    processStartInfo.FileName = "Stackoverflow.exe";
    processStartInfo.WorkingDirectory = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Path"] + name + @"\bin";
    System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(processStartInfo);

If i want to add Parameters , I would do it here right?:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(processStartInfo, params);

If not, where?

And the other thing is, that I would like to save the params for the exe, does it happen automatically or do I have to set this, while opening? If so, then how I could achieve that?

EDIT:

What I mean with save is.. I got a Form with Textbox, from there u can start a EXE, by example Stackoverflow.exe and in the Textbox u could write: "-hello" , now next time u open the form and select the EXE in the FORM, there is "-hello" still written, that means, it has been saved, thats what I want

Answer 1

Set the ProcessStartInfo.Arguments property. It's just a string of space-separated arguments. You'll need to quote any path names which include spaces, etc. It's a bit of a pain, but that's what's there :(

It's not really clear what you mean by "saving" the parameters - nothing will remember the arguments you last used to start a process and apply the same things next time, no. You'd have to do that yourself. How you do that will depend on what else you're doing - you could use a per-user setting, for example, the same way as any other setting.

Answer 2

You can simply pass arguments in the second argument to the Process.Start method. Ie:

Process.Start("IExplore.exe", "www.northwindtraders.com");

Alternatively you can use ProcessStartInfo. I.e:

ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("IExplore.exe");
startInfo.Arguments = "www.northwindtraders.com";
Process.Start(startInfo);

There are some other useful examples in msdn's class reference

Answer 3

You would set arguments in processStartInfo.Arguments.

I don't know what you mean by saving them, but it won't do anything as it's just a string. You can do whatever you want with this string yourself.

Answer 4

You could also use the Arguments property in your ProcessStartInfo class.

Also, the arguments will not be saved and why should they? If you create a shortcut on your desktop, then these arguments are stored there and your executable will be called with the stored arguments, but that has nothing to do with your application.
