Command Param for making console invisible

Question

I am firing up a cmd console from my .net app with some parameters, is there a parameter to specify that the cmd console is not visible?

---- Edit - Adding Code

I know this isn't the standard way of starting a process in .Net, but it is being run from a Silverlight Client.

  Dynamic cmd = AutomationFactory.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
    cmd.Run("C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c *myargs*")

Can you post the code you are using? There are several ways to "fire up" a console application, and it would help to see the code. — Oded, Sep 01 '10 at 14:10

After some more digging, I have found out that this will work -

   Dynamic cmd = AutomationFactory.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
    cmd.Run("C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c *myargs*",0,true);

If you never want the application to show a console window, one way is, after creating the console application, to change the application Output Type to "Windows Application" (project properties / Application tab / Output type).

You could have a look at this solution:

Show/Hide the console window of a C# console application

or alternatively, make your project a GUI project but without any forms and use the classes in the System.Diagnostics namespace to execute your commands. Probably requires much refactoring though.
