If you absolutely have to use VB6, your best bet is to call a VB6 function from C# is to export your VB6 functionality with COM, then use Interop in C# to access it:

Calling a VB6 method from a .NET DLL

If you just want to invoke an .exe, you can easily do that with ShellExec (from VB) or Process.Start (from C#).

Use the Process class.

ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
startInfo.FileName = "MyApplication.exe";
startInfo.Arguments = "The arguments";
Process.Start(startInfo);
