title: Running Command line from an ASPX page, and returning output to page
body: <p>I'm trying to access the command line and execute a command, and then return the output to my aspx page. A good example would be running dir on page load of an aspx page and returning the output via Response.Write(). I have tried using the code below. When I try debugging this it runs but never finishes loading and no output is rendered. 
  I am using C# and .NET Framework 3.5sp1. Any help much appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Bryan</p>
  
  <pre><code>public partial class CommandLine : System.Web.UI.Page
  {
      protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
          System.Diagnostics.Process si = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
          si.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = @"c:\";
          si.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
          si.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
          si.StartInfo.Arguments = "dir";
          si.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
          si.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
          si.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
          si.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
          si.Start();
          string output = si.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
          si.Close();
          Response.Write(output);
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
