How to execute an SSIS package from .NET?

I have a SSIS package that eventually I would like to pass parameters too, these parameters will come from a .NET application (VB or C#) so I was curious if anyone knows of how to do this, or better yet a website with helpful hints on how to do it.

So basically I want to execute a SSIS package from .NET passing the SSIS package parameters that it can use within it.

For instance, the SSIS package will use flat file importing into a SQL db however the Path and name of the file could be the parameter that is passed from the .Net application.

Here is how to set variables in the package from code - 

using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime;

private void Execute_Package()
    {           
        string pkgLocation = @"c:\test.dtsx";

        Package pkg;
        Application app;
        DTSExecResult pkgResults;
        Variables vars;

        app = new Application();
        pkg = app.LoadPackage(pkgLocation, null);

        vars = pkg.Variables;
        vars["A_Variable"].Value = "Some value";               

        pkgResults = pkg.Execute(null, vars, null, null, null);

        if (pkgResults == DTSExecResult.Success)
            Console.WriteLine("Package ran successfully");
        else
            Console.WriteLine("Package failed");
    }

You can use this Function if you have some variable in the SSIS.

    Package pkg;

    Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Application app;
    DTSExecResult pkgResults;
    Variables vars;

    app = new Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Application();
    pkg = app.LoadPackage(" Location of your SSIS package", null);

    vars = pkg.Variables;

    // your variables
    vars["somevariable1"].Value = "yourvariable1";
    vars["somevariable2"].Value = "yourvariable2";

    pkgResults = pkg.Execute(null, vars, null, null, null);

    if (pkgResults == DTSExecResult.Success)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Package ran successfully");
    }
    else
    {

        Console.WriteLine("Package failed");
    }
