Here is a sample of how to pass arguments to the *.exe file:

                Process p = new Process();

                // Redirect the error stream of the child process.
                p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
                p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
                p.StartInfo.FileName = @"\filepath.exe";
                p.StartInfo.Arguments = "{insert arguments here}";

                p.Start();


                error += (p.StandardError.ReadToEnd());
                p.WaitForExit();

ProcessStartInfo has a constructor that you can pass arguments to:

public ProcessStartInfo(string fileName, string arguments);

Alternatively, you can set it on it's property:

ProcessStartInfo p = new ProcessStartInfo();
p.Arguments = "some argument";

You can redirect input and output streams from your exe file.
See redirectstandardoutput and redirectstandardinput for examples.

For reading:

 // Start the child process.
 Process p = new Process();
 // Redirect the output stream of the child process.
 p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
 p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
 p.StartInfo.FileName = "Write500Lines.exe";
 p.Start();
 // Do not wait for the child process to exit before
 // reading to the end of its redirected stream.
 // p.WaitForExit();
 // Read the output stream first and then wait.
 string output = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
 p.WaitForExit();

For writing:

 ...
 myProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
 myProcess.Start();

 StreamWriter myStreamWriter = myProcess.StandardInput;
 myStreamWriter.WriteLine("y");
 ...
 myStreamWriter.Close();
