Writing batch file to run .exe file

I have created a C# console application with Visual studio 2010. I would like to achieve running my program without human interact and even without the opening of the visual studio. Manually to do so will be navigating to pathName\programName\programName\bin\Debug\ and double click the application file programName.exe

But how can i do this automated? with no opening of VS?

Thanks, Lain

If your file name is C:\run.exe, you can run it from the batch file as follow:

Create a batch file myfile.bat Paste this inside your batch file "C:\run.exe" Save

Now running this batch file will run your exe.

To automate this, add a task into Windows Scheduler. You can specify how often you want to automatically run the batch file or exe.

BTW, To run this exe one time without opening VS, simply type C:\run.exe at the command prompt.

More information on windows scheduler is here

Open notepad, put in 1 line:

pathName\programName\programName\bin\Debug\programName.exe

Save as Runner.bat

Run "Runner.bat" however you like.

However unless you're specifying any extra parameters, or anything else that affects execution of the program this is completely redundant.
