try this
ExecuteCommand("Your command here");
call it using process
public void ExecuteCommand(string Command)
{
ProcessStartInfo ProcessInfo;
Process Process;
ProcessInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe", "/K " + Command);
ProcessInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
ProcessInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
Process = Process.Start(ProcessInfo);
}

use /c instead /k if you want to get output :D

"using System.Diagnostics;" is required.

Tried /k and /c. It opens a cmd.exe window despite CreateNoWindow=true. The difference is only that with /k the window remains and with /c it opens and closes (after the command exits). I avoided opening of the window by setting UseShellExecute=false, but with all 4 combinations (/k or /c + UseShellExecute=true/false) I have no output in the parent console.

Another comment regarding usage of /k and UseShellExecute=false together: the cmd.exe window does not show up, but the cmd.exe remains hanging in the process list, so it gets necessary to kill it afterwards. I tested all 4 combinations on a simple command "echo 12345". To sum it up: this solution worked for me only with explicit output redirection into a file and the only combination free of side-effects like hanging cmd.exe or popup windows was UseShellExecute=false + /c.
You may use the Process.Start method:
Process.Start(
@"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe",
@"-pdf ""connection Strings"" ""C:\Users\XXX\Desktop\connection string\DNN"""
);
or if you want more control over the shell and be able to capture for example the standard output and error you could use the overload taking a ProcessStartInfo:
var psi = new ProcessStartInfo(@"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe")
{
Arguments = @"-pdf ""connection Strings"" ""C:\Users\XXX\Desktop\connection string\DNN""",
UseShellExecute = false,
CreateNoWindow = true
};
Process.Start(psi);

You could redirect the standard output, wait for the process execution to finish and then read it.
You should be able to do that using a process
var proc = new Process();
proc.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe ";
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = string.Format(@"{0} ""{1}""" ""{2}""","-pdf","connection Strings" ,"C:\Users\XXX\Desktop\connection string\DNN");
proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
proc.Start();
string outPut = proc.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
proc.WaitForExit();
var exitCode = proc.ExitCode;
proc.Close();
