How do I fully open desktop MATLAB from a C# application?

I want to use my C# application to open a full desktop version of MATLAB.

I am only able to open a command line version of MATLAB using the following code:

MLApp.MLApp matlab = new MLApp.MLApp();
Console.WriteLine("Opening Matlab");
matlab.Execute(@"cd c:\temp\Example");
matlab.Visible = 1;
matlab.MaximizeCommandWindow();

However, this produces a simple command line interface to MATLAB. It does not allow access to *.mlx Live Scripts using the MATLAB Live Editor.

Instead, I'd like to open the Live Editor so I can pass the workspace data from my C# application and process that data using a Live Script in the Live Editor.

How can I open the full desktop interface of MATLAB instead?

You are able to open a full desktop version by using this command in C#:

matlab.Execute("desktop");
