How can run Linux command with sudo from dotnetcore?

I am developing a small project using dotnetcore on Ubuntu 16.04 to execute some simple commands. This is the code I used to run commands

public void ExecuteCommand(string command)
{
    Process proc = new Process();
    proc.StartInfo.FileName = "/bin/bash";
    proc.StartInfo.Arguments = "-c \" " + command + " \"";
    proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
    proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
    proc.Start();

    while (!proc.StandardOutput.EndOfStream)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(proc.StandardOutput.ReadLine());
    }
}

When I tried to use sudo command with above code such as sudo service nginx restart, then I ran the program but the program showed console for me to enter root password. So how can I execute sudo command without entering password directly on console?

Dotnetcore info on my machine

You can run your program as root or just add the user to the sudo group. or open the sudoers file: sudo visudo and add user all privileges by adding line username ALL = NOPASSWD : ALL

If you want to use "sudo", the user running your program should be in sudoers group.
