Start new instance of a project using a button in form

Question

I have a solution that contains 32 projects, one of which is a Windows form and the others are console applications. In the Windows form I have a combo box that its items are the names of the console application projects with a button. Now, my problem is that how can I start the console application, which name is selected in the combo box by pushing the button, in a new instance? (if it is possible).

Answer 1

In your button click event, add the following lines, assuming cmbConsoleApps contains the file names of the console applications.

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(cmbConsoleApps.Text);
