Batch-file for running commands in cmd

I'm working on a little fun school project.

I want to create a windows form application, which runs commands in cmd by opening batch-file. I do not have much experience in using batch-files.

I need help with the following:

1. Batch file which opens cmd
2. Runs a command ONCE only, such as ipconfig, ping, tracert etc.
3. Keeps cmd open with the information

Otherwise good guides for working and learning batch-files are much appreciated.

I'll give you some hints:

1. Batch files open with cmd by default
2. Commands will only run once by default
3. To keep the window open after running the command, use the /k switch i.e. cmd /k ipconfig

EDIT:

Make this the contents of your batch file:

@echo off
ipconfig

Then call the batch file like this (from command line/run etc):

cmd /k iptest.bat

Or from Winform (C#):

Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
p.StartInfo.Arguments = "/k iptest.bat"
p.Start();
