try with below code, here "Amay" is a argument.

 System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo info = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo(@"E:\\ConsoleApplicationt\bin\Debug\ConsoleApplicationt.exe", "Amay");

 System.Diagnostics.Process p = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(info);

Check out Process.Start():

MSDN - Process.Start Method

Your code will probably look something like:

var process = Process.Start(pathToProgram, argsString);

process.WaitForExit();

var exitCode = process.ExitCode;

If by "result of the console application" you mean any output of the program to the console while it runs...you'll need to look at the documentation and figure out how to redirect the output of the program from the console to another stream.

You should be careful depending upon your use some of the other examples can have issues. For common mistakes made writing your own code, read "How to use System.Diagnostics.Process correctly"

For a library to use, there is one here: http://csharptest.net/browse/src/Library/Processes with a brief usage guide: "Using the ProcessRunner class"

Sample from MSDN

 // Start the child process.
 Process p = new Process();
 // Redirect the output stream of the child process.
 p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
 p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
 p.StartInfo.FileName = "Write500Lines.exe";
 p.Start();
 // Do not wait for the child process to exit before
 // reading to the end of its redirected stream.
 // p.WaitForExit();
 // Read the output stream first and then wait.
 string output = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
 p.WaitForExit();

Here http://www.aspcode.net/ProcessStart-and-redirect-standard-output.aspx You can see how to read the output from the console app You start with Process.Start().

Take a look at the Process class. You can call any executable using Process.Start("myexe.exe");
