Run batch file from VB.NET as administrator

In my VB-NET application I need to run a batch file as administrator.

So far I use this code but can't remember how to use runas:

process.start("filelocation.bat")

Any help is apreciated.

Solution 
  • Try
    Dim procInfo As New ProcessStartInfo()
    procInfo.UseShellExecute = True
    procInfo.FileName = (FileLocation)
    procInfo.WorkingDirectory = ""
    procInfo.Verb = "runas"
    Process.Start(procInfo)
Catch ex As Exception
    MessageBox.Show(ex.Message.ToString())
End Try
