passing multiple arguments cmd vb.net

i searched google and stackoverflow alot but no solution

i was trying to pass multiple arguments in cmd they are like in this way

Dim argu1 As String = "netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode = allow  ssid=" + TextBox1.Text + " key=" + TextBox2.Text
    Dim argu2 As String = "netsh wlan start hostednetwork"
    Dim process As System.Diagnostics.Process = Nothing
    Dim processStartInfo As System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo
    processStartInfo = New System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo
    processStartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe"
    processStartInfo.Verb = "runas"

and wrote arguments in this way

    processStartInfo.Arguments = argu1 & argu2
    processStartInfo.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden
    processStartInfo.UseShellExecute = True
    Try
        process = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(processStartInfo)
    Catch ex As Exception
        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Unknown Error !", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
    Finally
        If Not (process Is Nothing) Then
            process.Dispose()
        End If
    End Try

but nothing is happening

What did you expect to happen? You are executing

cmd.exe netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode = allow  ssid=... key=...netsh wlan start hostednetwork

which simply starts a new instance of cmd.exe, ignoring all that netsh ... stuff.

Please have a look at the documentation of cmd.exe. In particular, I suspect that the /c command line switch might be what you are looking for. That said, you might want to consider calling netsh.exe directly or (even better) search for a way to do what you are trying to achieve with Windows API or the .NET library.
