Hi all,

I want to design a c# program which can run WinRAR. the program will browse for file and send the with a button, the process to create archive will begin..!

I know using System.Diagnostics.Process.Start method can execute the exe file. for eg.

Process.Start(@"C:\path\to\file.zip")

GetFile("filename","open winrar to execute the file") I need something like this. How should i start? Any references/solution are very thankful.

thank you very much.

I don't use WinRAR, so I cannot fully confirm this site, but try creating the process start directly to the rar tool and making the path to extract part of the arguments.
Here is the command line usage of winrar:

If you need actual code to do this, just ask. I think you'll be able to manage this though.

Hopefully this helps.

I'm kind of understand but i don't know how to run it. I'm using Vista, do i need to change into WINXP to run it?

This is one part of the program..
This code open all WinRAR program if not error occur. I put this in button, and checking of file is given in txtDest.text using browse folder. So instead of open, i want it to be execute(compress) directly.

ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("WinRAR.exe");
	startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Maximized;
	startInfo.Arguments = txtDest.Text;
	try
	{
		// Call WaitForExit and then the using statement will close.
		using (Process exeProcess = Process.Start(startInfo))
		{
			exeProcess.WaitForExit();
		}
	}
	catch
	{
		MessageBox.Show("Error Open");
	}
