startInfo.Arguments = command;
startInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
using (Process exeProcess = Process.Start(startInfo))
{
    exeProcess.WaitForExit();
}
String command = @"echo 'Hello world' > test.txt";//command write Hello world to text file
ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
startInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
startInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;

Use the & operator.

For example:

dir & echo foo

For yours:

cd c:\\test & echo 'Hello world' > test.txt

you can put you command in a batch file yourcmd.bat, in your case the yourcmd.bat will like this:

cd c:\test
echo "Hello world" > test.txt

or

cd c:\test & echo "Hello world" > test.txt

then you can just call System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("yourcmd.bat"); method, this works.
