How to run VBS script from C# code

All what I am trying to do is to be able to run VBS script from code behind but I am getting this error: “The system cannot find the file specified”. I know the path name and I only need to execute that .vbs script but it is giving me hard time and I am not able to figure out. Please help. Thanks here is my code

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"cscript  //B //Nologo \\loc1\test\myfolder\test1.vbs");

i have updated the code as shown below but i am getting a security warning asking me if i want to open it. Is there a way to not get those kind of warning and just run script without any warnings? here is the updated code:

  Process proc = null;
        try
        {
            string targetDir = string.Format(@"\\loc1\test\myfolder");//this is where mybatch.bat lies
            proc = new Process();
            proc.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = targetDir;
            proc.StartInfo.FileName = "test1.vbs";
            proc.StartInfo.Arguments = string.Format("10");//this is argument
            proc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = false;
            proc.Start();
            proc.WaitForExit();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
           // Console.WriteLine("Exception Occurred :{0},{1}", ex.Message, ex.StackTrace.ToString());
        }

Your code working fine for me, I think the error was in your File Path,

Better Confirm the File Path you given is valid or Not..

You can run that file like below also..

Process scriptProc = new Process();
scriptProc.StartInfo.FileName = @"cscript"; 
scriptProc.StartInfo.Arguments ="//B //Nologo \\loc1\test\myfolder\test1.vbs";
scriptProc.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
scriptProc.Start();
scriptProc.WaitForExit();
scriptProc.Close();

But check your File Path you given..

The parameters have to be included separately. There is an arguments field you use to pass arguments to the process.

You can use this as a guide for executing programs with command line from an application.
