Hi everyone!

I have a application that I want to execute a .bin file when pressing a button.
Is there something similar to this? The .bin file is a executable with a PE header.

C#

Process.Start("Program.exe");

but as

C#

Process.Start("Program.bin");

Any help would be appreciated.

I've also a alternative solution:

C#

[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("shell32.dll")]
public static extern bool ShellExecute(IntPtr hwnd, string operation, string file, string param,int showCmd);

void ExecuteBin()
{
     ShellExecute(IntPtr.Zero,null,"cmd","/c BinFile.bin",0);
}

What I do: I invoke the ShellExecute method and I run cmd /c BinFile.bin. The parameter showCmd is set to 0, what means the cmd is not showing.

Nvm, I have the solution now.

C#

Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.FileName = "Program.bin";
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
p.Start();
