.exe?... VB.NET

[Aaron128]

Hello, I am new to writing console applications in VB.NET. I need some advice on how to get the little bit of text after the .exe /. For example if I open a command window and type program.exe /help or something like that Or if you type program.exe /? It will show help.... Thanks in advanced.:)

Hi, use command line arguments! command line arguments means the arguments you pass to your applications main() method. hope this works. Nitin...

Your Sub Main can be changed to this:

Function Main(ByVal CmdArgs() As String) As Integer
Dim ArgNum As Integer ' Index of individual command-line argument.
If CmdArgs.Length > 0 Then ' See if there are any arguments.
For ArgNum = 0 To UBound(CmdArgs)
' Examine CmdArgs(ArgNum) for settings you need to handle.
Next ArgNum
End If
Return 0 ' Zero usually means successful completion.
End Function
