Process.Start(...), in the System.Diagnostics namespace.

Timothy,

You can use the static Start method on the Process class to call other
executables from C#.

Hope this helps.

Have a look at the System.Diagnostics.Process class, and its Start
methods.

Would the memory allocated to the started .EXE be accessible by the C# class
it was called from ?

No, it's in a separate win32 process. You would have to use one of the IPC
mechanisms to exchange data.
