Hai,
what exactly do you mean by calling lisp program?

If the output of lisp program is in .exe format you can call it using
System.diagnostics.process. start()
If you want to open up the source code, you can use file IO do it.

Hope it helps.

Hai,

thanxs for reply

I want to execute the lisp program from vb.net appln.

i hv an lisp program which reads the autocad drawing and writes the
result in an mdb.

using vb.net program i'll read the data and process it.

and i need to call both these programs from single vb.net appln.

is there an easy way to do this task?

Hello Hema,
You should be able to do both ..

Call the compiled exe file of lisp program using
System.diagnostics.process.start()
Keep some delay belay between so that the lisp program executes.
Open the mdb file, read data and do the required processing.

Easiest way could be to perfrom processing in lisp directly...which I
am assuming you don't want to do for some reason.

Hope it helps.
