Answer 1

Here are windows form examples.

Add one argument

var startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("TODO") {WorkingDirectory = @"TODO"};

if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(textBox1.Text))
{
    startInfo.ArgumentList.Add(textBox1.Text);
}

Process.Start(startInfo);

Adding all TextBoxes

var startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("TODO") {WorkingDirectory = @"TODO"};

foreach (var textBox in Controls.OfType<TextBox>())
{
    if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(textBox.Text))
    {
        startInfo.ArgumentList.Add(textBox.Text);
    }
}

Process.Start(startInfo);

With spaces in text

var startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("TODO") {WorkingDirectory = @"TODO"};

foreach (var textBox in Controls.OfType<TextBox>())
{
    if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(textBox.Text)) continue;
    if (textBox.Text.Contains("\""))
    {
        startInfo.ArgumentList.Add($"\"{textBox.Text}\"");
    }
}

Process.Start(startInfo);

One by one

var startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("TODO") {WorkingDirectory = @"TODO"};

if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(textBox1.Text))
{
    startInfo.ArgumentList.Add($"\"{textBox1.Text}\"");
}

if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(textBox2.Text))
{
    startInfo.ArgumentList.Add($"\"{textBox2.Text}\"");
}

Process.Start(startInfo);

Variation

var startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("TODO") {WorkingDirectory = @"TODO"};

if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(textBox1.Text))
{
    startInfo.ArgumentList.Add(textBox1.Text.Contains("\"") ? 
        $"\"{textBox1.Text}\"" : 
        $"{textBox1.Text}");
}

 Process.Start(startInfo);
