Hi,

I am new to programming, am currently learning visual basic .NET.

Does anybody know how I can run a small .exe from within my own program, for
example I want to write a simple app, where the user has some text boxes and
whatever they type in here, when they press a go button an app runs with the
users input added as a paramenter, so if I was running program.exe and the
user input "full" into the text box the command run would become program.exe
/full

So basically my app just runs another little program with some parameters
after it.

Any help would be welcome,

Thanks,

Peter

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("program.exe /" & text1.text)
