Hi
I want to call an application and also need to pass some parameter for it.
I use
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("application_path")

and it runs perfectly. But when I pass paramenter like

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("application_path -parameter1 -parameter2")

it says that the file doesn't exist. How should I pass parameter?

Thanks

Hi
For starting a process with command line arguments you can use other
overloads of Process Class :

Process.Start(fileName, arguments)
So :

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("application_path ","-parameter1
-parameter2")

Or you can use Process.StartInfo.Arguments .

I hope this helps

Dim p As Process = Process.Start(...)
