Shell-out

I have a program C:\MyDir\MyProg.exe
I would like to place a button on an aspx page to start the program
(shell-out) and to pass some command line arguments.
Can this be done ?
Sample code would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help.
JimSo MyProg.exe is on the server, right? Because you can't launch a program on
the client. This isn't a virus, is it? (that's why)

Hi Jim,
Try the Process.Start Method

l]
You'll need to be careful with permissions and probably use impersonation.
