If the batch file takes the values are arguments, pass them as the
Arguments to the Process that you start to run the Batch file.

   Dim p as New Process
   With p
     With p.StartInfo
       .FileName = "[path]\file.bat"
       .Arguments = A & " " & B & " " & C
     End With
     .Start()
     .WaitForExit()
   End With

HTH,
    Phill  W.

Thanks Mr Phill , But as i told you i'm still new in .net
So there's something missed maybe !
so again , my batch file will be (C:\Do.bat) --------- > & i wrote in it for
example :
==========
@ECHO OFF
mkdir c:\%A%
==========   is this correct ? so
in ASP.net i've a text Box  & a button
i imported
Imports System
Imports System.Diagnostics
Imports System.ComponentModel
& when I press the Button :
==============================
Dim A As String
        A = TextBox1.Text
        Dim p As New Process
        With p
            With p.StartInfo
                .FileName = "C:\Do.bat"
                .Arguments = A
            End With
            .Start()
            .WaitForExit()
        End With
==============================
I get the following Error:
'StartInfo' is not a member of 'Process'.

May you tell me what i missed ?
Thanks in advance

Try changing the declaration of the Process object to be:

     Dim p As New System.Diagnostics.Process

Other than that, the code I gave works for me.   :-{

Hopefully, your bat file will be doing a /lot/ more than just creating a
directory - you could do that perfectly well in Visual Basic code
directly ...

Do you have another class in your project called Process?
No oher Classes

It works with one Error

[HttpException (0x80004005): Request timed out.]
i c .. but htat what my leader doesn't sees
i just want it to make a liitle thing correctly to go ahead with my complex
dns commands
i made it before as windows app. by using an external dos Class
it worked but he needs the script to be easier for editing than compiling in
future


sorry mr Phill .. but i really need this to work
Show quoteHide quote

it works now but not 100%
i mean it opens the CMD prompt
but i think the problem in the way i pass the variable (A)
to the batch file
my Code is:
========================================
  Dim A As String
        A = TextBox1.Text
        Dim p As New System.Diagnostics.Process
        With p
            With p.StartInfo
                .FileName = "C:\Doit.bat"
                .Arguments = A
            End With
            .Start()
            .WaitForExit()
        End With
========================================
& my batch file:
========================================
@ECHO OFF
mkdir c:\%A%
========================================
So ... where is the mistake ?

If I remember correctly (50/50 chance here),
I think batch files accept parameters as %1%, %2%,
and so on, so if you change %A% in your batch file
to %1%, it should work.

You can run your batch file yourself by
bringing up a cmd window, navigating
to the folder where your batch file it,
and then running it. This would help clarify
if the problem is with the batch file or the
VB code.

i've also Access is denied in the CMD window when it runs

Well that's a bit of a show-stopper.

The ASP must be running under an account that's just not allowed to do
whatever it is your bat file is trying to do.
Find out which account it's running under and make sure that that
account has the necessary permissions.
