How to call an exe file in button click from ASP.Net?

Question

I have an exe file (Console Application). In my ASP.Net I have a page that has a button. On the button click. I wanna start the console application.

Here is my code :

ProcessStartInfo startinfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
            startinfo.FileName = @"C:\PushNotificationSampleConsoleVersion\PushNotificationSampleConsoleVersion\bin\Release\PushNotificationSampleConsoleVersion.exe";
            startinfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
            startinfo.UseShellExecute = true;
            Process myProcess = Process.Start(startinfo);
            myProcess.Start();

When I click the button. nothing happened. I do not see the command prompt window. However when I check my task manager. I see the process started.

Any issue with my code ?

Thanks.
