Let's get started [Image: smile.png]

Code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace cmd
{
   public partial class Form1 : Form
   {
       
       public Form1()
       {
           InitializeComponent();
       }

       private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           
           System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
           System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();
           
           
           startInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
           startInfo.Arguments = "/ipconfig"; //Replace ipconfig with any command you may want :P
           process.StartInfo = startInfo;
           process.Start();
           
       }
   }
}

If you have any questions PM me or post below.

Very nice! However, this is why I like C++, you can replace all of the above code with a simple line:

Code:
system("ipconfig")

Nobody said you had to use the Process class in .NET (the VisualBasic dll contains Shell(): https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library...90%29.aspx), but the equivalent of Process.Start() in C++ is much more complex. Also, system() is not a good idea.
