Prevent command prompt from closing after running code (visual C#)?

I'm trying to run a code on command prompt using this code:

ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("Cmd");
startInfo.Arguments = "/c tracert 8.8.8.8";
Process.Start(startInfo);

But it closes after running code but I want cmd stay open. What should I do?

Add a pause command 

ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("Cmd");
startInfo.Arguments = "/c tracert 8.8.8.8 & pause";
Process.Start(startInfo);

The /c argoument is telling CMD to close after the instructions are done.

Instead, if you want to keep the window open and return to the terminal, you should use the /k switch:

ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("Cmd");
startInfo.Arguments = "/k tracert 8.8.8.8";
Process.Start(startInfo);
