C# Error in Executing multiple command lines

Question

I used this code to execute multi cmd commands in C#.
First i created constructor to create process.

public CMD()
        {
            process = new Process();
            startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
            startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
            startInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
            startInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
            startInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
            startInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
            startInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
            startInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
            startInfo.Verb = "runas";
            process.StartInfo = startInfo;
            process.Start();
            process.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
            process.StandardInput.AutoFlush = true;
            process.BeginOutputReadLine();
            process.BeginErrorReadLine();
            process.OutputDataReceived += Process_OutputDataReceived;
            process.ErrorDataReceived += Process_ErrorDataReceived;
            process.Exited += Process_Exited;
        }

then i used this code to execute multi commands.

public void _cmd(string command)
        {
            using (StreamWriter sw = process.StandardInput)
            {
                if (sw.BaseStream.CanWrite)
                {
                    sw.WriteLine(command);
                }
            }
        }

for the first command is not any problem but when i send second one i got this error in sw.BaseStream.CanWrite line.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

when i debug code for the first time sw.BaseStream is OK but in second command it get null
what is problem here ?

I suspect it's because of your using statement. When the using block is exited, it will call Dispose in process.StandardInput().

yes that's right but when i removed using statement i don't get any output. it seems that it should be dispose or close to get outpout. is there any way ?

Call Flush() on the stream maybe?

abrpr Over a year ago

Flush() was not helpful.

Have a look a this: stackoverflow.com/questions/13778236/…. Here's the code I ended up using in the end: github.com/stevehjohn/Hub/blob/master/Ming/MingMongoPlugin/…
