在 VB.NET 中打开 Powershell 并更改目录

Question

I want my Windows application built with VB.NET to open powershell onclick of button event and change directory to C:\\ and not close window.

Here is my code:

 Private Sub PowershellToolStripMenuItem_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles PowershellToolStripMenuItem.Click
        Process.Start("powershell")
    End Sub

I tried to add "-wait" after "powershell.exe" but that causes an error. Anyone have an idea how I can go about this?

Powershell is a command line executable. It will not attach a console normally, but if you execute it as the shell, then it should behave as you expect:

Process.Start(New ProcessStartInfo() With {.UseShellExecute = True, _
                .FileName = "powershell", _
                .WorkingDirectory = "C:\"})
