How to Run a Process As Admin

Question

4.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

I have a process which runs a batch file.

But this batch file need admin rights for doing its tasks.

I have the following code for it:

VB

strtProcess = New Process
strtProcess.StartInfo.FileName = Application.StartupPath + "\extractor.bat"
strtProcess.StartInfo.Verb = "runas"
strtProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = ""
strtProcess.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal
strtProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = True

But I want to show the output of the process in a richtextbox.

Is there any method by which I can do both tasks i.e Run the File as ADMIN & show the output in RichTextBox?

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Here's one way:

C#

Process process = new Process();
ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo{FileName = "notepad",
                                             UserName = "admin",
                                             Domain = "",
                                             Password = "myAdminPassword",
                                             UseShellExecute = false,
                                             RedirectStandardOutput = true,
                                             RedirectStandardError = true
                                            };
process.Start(info);

You can also set the Process.Verb property to "runas", and go from there.
