    <p>I am trying to write a program that will automate some setup for new computers at my job. One of the tasks is changing power options for Windows 7. I am trying to run a command that imports a power configuration file and returns the string output which contains a GUID to a variable. When I run the program, it does not return any value to my string. I'm sure I'm messing something up, can someone look and help? Here is my code:</p> <pre><code>if(chkPowerSettings.Checked == true &amp;&amp; radioDesktop.Checked == true) { //Establish the path to the power configuration file string DesktopFileName = "WTCPowerDesktop.pow"; string CFGFileSource = @"\\\\ops-data\\Apps\\Builds"; string TargetPath = @"c:\\"; //Creates the strings for the whole path string source = System.IO.Path.Combine(CFGFileSource, DesktopFileName); string destination = System.IO.Path.Combine(TargetPath, DesktopFileName); //Copies the file, the true will overwrite any already existing file System.IO.File.Copy(source, destination, true); System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo importCFG = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo("cmd","/c" + "powercfg –import C:\\WTCPowerDesktop.pow"); importCFG.RedirectStandardOutput = true; importCFG.UseShellExecute = false; importCFG.CreateNoWindow = false; System.Diagnostics.Process runImport = new System.Diagnostics.Process(); runImport.StartInfo = importCFG; runImport.Start(); string PowerCFGResult = runImport.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd(); MessageBox.Show(PowerCFGResult); } </code></pre>

    2. COI just tried changing the .StandardOutput to .StandardError just to see if that would return me anything, and it just returned me an exception.

    3. COWhy not use the option provided that allows you to pass *in* a `Guid`? I.e. generate one in your code, run the command, after it's finished you already know what the correct value is? `POWERCFG -IMPORT <filename> <GUID>`

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
