Now on button click add the below code. 

C#.Net

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string strCmdText;
    strCmdText = "command prompt";
    System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("CMD.exe", strCmdText);
}

VB. Net

Private Sub button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    Dim strCmdText As String
    strCmdText = "command prompt"
    System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("CMD.exe", strCmdText)
End Sub
