.NET: How to pass command-line parameters with a temp file name

Question

This is .NET 2.0 WinForms. I have some code like so

string str = Path.GetTempFileName();
Process p = new Process();
ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo();
psi.Arguments = str
psi.FileName = <some executable >
p.StartInfo = psi;
p.Start();

Now on the "started" process I get the temp file name by saying args[0]. On Win XP this is causing an issue as the temp file is in C:\Documents and Settings\.... The space is causing an issue, thus args[0] is C:\Documents.

How can I fix this? Do I just have to place str in quotes? Or can I get the whitespace to be ignored somehow?

Answer 1

Yes, use quotes.

Answer 2

You can either wrap the path in double quotes or you can convert the path into its short (8.3) representation using the native GetShortPathName function.
