run an executable that was downloaded from blob into stream in c#

I've downloaded an executable file from my Cloud blob, and now I want to run the file.

here's my relevant piece of code:

Stream codeContent = new MemoryStream();
blobClientCode.GetBlockBlobReference(codeUri).DownloadToStream(codeContent);
codeContent.Position = 0;

Process p = new Process();

Now I want to run the executable I've downloaded. I guess that I need to use a Process for that, I just don't know how. can anyone please help?

Thanks in advance

Something like this should do. Pass your blob as the first parameter and the local file path as the second:

public static void RunBlob(ICloudBlob blob, string targetFilePath) {
    using (var fileStream = File.OpenWrite(targetFilePath)) {
        blob.DownloadToStream(fileStream);
    }

    var process = new Process() {StartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(targetFilePath)};
    process.Start();
    process.WaitForExit(); // Optional
}
