Hi,
well my subject covers the question completely.

How do I run a batch WITH parameters from my C# Windows application.
I can run only the batch without a hitch but when I try to give some
parameters it comes back with an unhandled exception.

The code I use:

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
  {
   if ((textBox1.Text!="")&&(textBox2.Text!=""))
   {Process myProcess = new Process();
    string Path="C:\x5cProgram Files\x5cVPN";
    string UserInfo= textBox1.Text+" "+textBox2.Text;
    myProcess.StartInfo.FileName = Path + "\x5cVPN.bat " + UserInfo;
    myProcess.Start();
   }

So I type in two parameters (username+ password) and click a button to start
my batch (witch runs rasdial and creates mappings).
Any tips would be greatly appreciated..

regards
J.A. Smit

You need to put the arguments in the Arguments property of the
StartInfo.
ie:
  myProcess.StartInfo.FileName = Path + "\x5cVPN.bat ";
  myProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = UserInfo;


Also there are easier ways (IMO) to set the Path:
   string Path="C:\\Program Files\\VPN";
or
   string Path=@"C:\Program Files\VPN";
