How to run a console app

M

moondaddy

I'm experimenting with my first console app (vb.net 1.1) and need a little
help here. I compiled it and am trying to run it. I pull up the VS 2003
command prompt and it has this path in it:

C:\Documents and Settings\georgep>

and I need to run a app in:

D:\Archive\DownLoads\Books\Programming Microsoft Visual Basic .NET\15
Reflection\CommandLineObjectBrowser

I tried to run it by typing this at the prompt:

C:\Documents and Settings\georgep>cd D:\Archive\DownLoads\Books\Programming
Microsoft Visual Basic .NET\15 Reflection\CommandLineObjectBrowser

But it just returns back to:

C:\Documents and Settings\georgep>

Can someone please explain what I should do?

Thanks!

Moondaddy,
C:\Documents and Settings\georgep>cd
D:\Archive\DownLoads\Books\Programming Microsoft Visual Basic .NET\15
Reflection\CommandLineObjectBrowser

Would it not have to be just

D:\Archive\DownLoads\Books\Programming Microsoft Visual Basic .NET\15
Reflection\CommandLineObjectBrowser

Just a gues

Hi,
C:\Documents and Settings\georgep>cd D:\Archive\DownLoads
\Books\Programming Microsoft Visual Basic .NET\15 Reflection
\CommandLineObjectBrowser

But it just returns back to:

C:\Documents and Settings\georgep>

Your command has already been succeed, but first you need to go to the Disk
D, then the current directory will be the target one:
...
C:\Documents and Settings\georgep>D:
D:\Archive\DownLoads\Books\Programming Microsoft Visual Basic .NET\15
Reflection\CommandLineObjectBrowser>


Thanks!

Best regards,
