You can call the DOS or batch program from your Form application and redirect the output to a string:

using (var p = new System.Diagnostics.Process( ))
{
    p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
    p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
    p.StartInfo.FileName = PathToBatchFile;
    p.StartInfo.Arguments = args;
    p.Start( );
    string o = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd( );
    p.WaitForExit( );
}
