Generate .trx file via code in c#

Question

I was able to generate the unit test result(.trx) file with the help of below link :

Saving unit test results after running tests

Apart from using cmd to generate the .trx file, is there any way to generate the same via code itself.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT

Below is the my sample code :

        System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
        System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo myStartInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();
        myStartInfo.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
        myStartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
        myStartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
        myStartInfo.Verb = "runas";
        myStartInfo.WorkingDirectory = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TestWindow";
        myStartInfo.Arguments = @"/C VSTest.console C:\UnitTestProject1\UnitTestProject1\bin\Debug\UnitTestProject1.dll /logger:trx"; 
        process.StartInfo = myStartInfo;
        process.Start();

Please note that cmd needs to be run as admin.

Of course you can run any cmd command using C#. You have to look at the classes in the Process namespace.

Here you have a good document with an example at the end showing different options:

Thanks for you reply. I tried to execute the commands mentioned in the link I had shared, using Process. However, I couldn't succeed. Request you to share sample code to generate the required .trx file. – Ishan Verma May 17 '18 at 06:17
It's better if you share the code you did to achieve that and we will look why it's wrong. – Ignacio Soler Garcia May 17 '18 at 08:17
Try to run just the VSTest.console and running the C# app as admin to see if it works. – Ignacio Soler Garcia May 17 '18 at 13:02
