command line arguments

[James]

vb.net 2003

i created console.exe file and from cmd prompt i would like to pass
arguments into it.

Eg myprogram.exe ntid

myprogram.exe expects to read a variable enter by user. How do i pass
arguments to be read by my program ? The below only display it and not
reading a variable

Dim arguments As [String]() = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()

Console.WriteLine("GetCommandLineArgs: {0}", [String].Join(", ", arguments))

What do you mean by "reading a variable"?!

Try this :

Public Argument1 as String = Nothing

Function Main( ByVal saArgs as String() ) as Integer
Argument1 = saArgs( 0 )
. . .
End Function

HTH,

Main is a sub so why declare it as a function?

I believe, it's so that the Main function can return a value to the calling
process/DOS window/whatever ran the exe...

Another way of doing that is with System.Environment.ExitCode.

That's true.
