How to partition a hard drive using C#

Question

I am familiar with the WMI method of formatting a partition but what if I wanted to create a partition programmatically? Is this possible and if so, can someone point me in the right direction because I am having the toughest time finding information about this. Thanks

You'll probably just want to use Process.Start to call diskpart with the arguments/script you need to partition the disk:
