Autoit with C#

[iLuvAutolt]

Hi all (Please bear with me with a boring lengthy intro),

I am not an IT person and consider myself a handymen-coder. I use an application for work that is hard to use, in that i have to manually keep feeding different inputs  that this application requires to do my job. It was so tedious that i started writing  c# code to automate this tedious tasks.

...then i stumbled upon Autolt today and loved it! I thought Autolt is so wonderful i made an instant donation!

I wrote my first script called RunMyApp and converted to an .exe.

ControlFocus("My App", "my form", "[NAME:CForm; ID:2]")
MouseClick ( "left" , 480, 220  )
AutoItSetOption("SendKeyDelay", 100)
Send("myInput")
send("{ENTER}")
ControlSend("My App", "my form", "[NAME:CForm; ID:2]", "{F5}") 

I then use this autolt created .exe in a simple c# code as follows:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"C:\RunMyApp.exe");
            label1.Content = "runnig my app";

What i really want is to  do is execute the RunMyApp with different value for myInput in the code Send("myInput").

Can some body show me how i can replicate this small Autolt script in c# code by making call to the  AutoItX class for C# being discussed here? 

Or alternatively can an autolt created .exe receive input from my c# code, i.e. can i send value for "myInput" variable to  Autolt created RunMyApp.exe from my c# code? 

Thanks for taking time to read this looonnnggg post . Thanks in advance.

Maybe some STDin / out functions could be used. Look up STDread in the help file
