After opening process start command prompt how to write ipconfig in c#

Question

I am opening the command prompt from c#

 Process.Start("cmd");

when it opens i need to write ipconfig automatically such that process opens and finds the ip of the workstation, How should i do that?

If you need to find the IP Addresses of the local machine, there are better ways to do that than launching ipconfig. — Damien_The_Unbeliever, Oct 08 '12 at 10:20

EDIT

Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
p.StartInfo.FileName = "ipconfig.exe";
p.Start();
p.WaitForExit();
string output = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
return output;

or

EDIT

  Process pr = new Process();
  pr.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
  pr.StartInfo.Arguments = "/k ipconfig"; 
  pr.Start();

Check : How to Execute a Command in C# ?

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 = "ipconfig";
 process.StartInfo = startInfo;
 process.Start();

or

Try this

 string strCmdText; 
 strCmdText= "ipconfig";
 System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("CMD.exe",strCmdText);

Use this

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("cmd", "/K ipconfig");

This /K parameter will start cmd with an ipconfig command and will show it's output on the console too. To know more parameters which could be passed to a cmd Go here

Hi, how can I send multiple parameter, example `/K ipconfig` and `Pause` – Mowgli Mar 17 '13 at 21:44

@Mowgli try `/K ipconfig & Pause`, you can use `&` for combining commands. Read the provided link for more info. – yogi Mar 18 '13 at 11:31

there are specific ways to redirect standard input, standard output and error messages when running an external process like in your case, for example check here: ProcessStartInfo.RedirectStandardInput Property

then plenty of examples also here on SO: Sending input/getting output from a console application (C#/WinForms)
