Start an attended robot using C# code

[trajavel (Rajavel Thiruvu)]

How can we start attended robot using .net (C# code)? We can start from a command prompt as mentioned in the post
Concurrent robot without Orchestrator - #2 by Tuhin_Samanta.
We are looking for ‘safe’ code in .net, so that we can start the robot and get the status if the robot is running. Appreciate if a sample c# code snippet available for the same.

Hi @trajavel

For this error see this post:

Help! Can't run any processes

Okay I did a complete re- installation after deleting the folders from Roaming and Local in %appdata%. Before that I went to Windows features and enabled all the features under .Net after which I could see the net.pipe listener service running which was previously missing. This appears to have resolved the issue. I would like to sincerely thank everyone for their assistance and support. This really is a fantastic community

Tried the steps

1. Uninstall UiPath Studio
2. Delete folders under %appdata% local and roaming for any old UiPath folders
3. Ensure net.pipe listener service is running
4. Reinstalled UiPath Studio trial version and activated the Studio
5. Ensure that UiPath Robot Service is running
6. Tried to Add Service Reference in a Visual Studio 2008 project and received the same error

Would really appreciate any further literature on this…Thanks…
