Resolved |// Execute command in CMD [C#]

So basically, I Want to execute a command in cmd because i need to open Paint from it, Code i tried:

System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();
startInfo.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
startInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
startInfo.Arguments = "/C mspaint.exe, openFileDialog1.FileName;"
process.StartInfo = startInfo;
process.Start();

Can someone help me? I Want to execute paint with a png file choose by user.

Thanks Trevor for helping, Maybe the other code will work.

            System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
            System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();
            startInfo.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
            startInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
            startInfo.Arguments = "/C mspaint.exe, " + openFileDialog1.FileName;
            process.StartInfo = startInfo;
            process.Start();

To open a specific file using mspaint you can specify the file path as an argument (without any comma):

mspaint <filePath>

From the code you can do the following:

Process proc = new Process
{
    StartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo
    {
        FileName = "cmd.exe",
        Arguments = $"/C mspaint.exe {openFileDialog1.FileName}",
        WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden
    }
};

proc.Start();
