How to execute batch file from visual c# application

Question

This might be a very specific question, but how do I execute a batch file in a sub folder above the c# application; I am trying to reference the batch file using a button:

    private void testButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("test.bat");
    }

Try

{
    System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"..\test.bat");
}
