Command line argument??

[jorge]

ok,
My startup object is sub main,
here is what i want, if my.exe -server is started it would display a msg box, if my.exe is started it schould continue loading.
buti t says command() is private so i can't use it?
whats wrong?

To get the command line use:

System.Environment.CommandLine

 

[jorge]

        Dim sCommand As String = System.Environment.CommandLine
        sCommand = sCommand.ToLower()
        If sCommand = "-server" Then
            Call remote()
            Exit Sub
        End If

that my code, but it does nothing, it doe not go to remote!

try

Dim sCommand As String = System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs(1)
        sCommand = sCommand.ToLower()
        If sCommand = "-server" Then
            Call remote()
            Exit Sub
        End If

instead - System.Environment.CommandLine returns the entire command line including the path to the application.
GetCommandLineArgs() splits the commandline into an array of seperate arguments with index 0 being the application.

it gives: index out of reange as error

If you use MessageBox.Show (System.Environment.CommandLine) what does it display?
Also try and display System.Environment.CommandLineArgs (0) and (1)

ok, found it,
i used () instead of (1)
