Starting MAYA from c#
I'm trying to start MAYA 5.0 from a windows C# application. I can make it start ok (I used the System.Diagnostics.Process class) but what I really want to do is to make it run a MEL script on startup so I can pass in a scene to load and various other stuff.
I tried the 'Arguments' property to pass in the script name and / or scene filename but it doesn't seem to do anything, so I guess maybe MAYA doesn't fully support being called like this ?
Any ideas / alternative suggestions anyone ? Sorry if this is the stupidest question ever, I'm more of a programmer than an Animator.
Thanks in advance.

` -key will activate the command line and after that you can send the mel commands you need. Lastly send [enter] key to exectute the commands...
... just an idea...
