Command Start

[otherside]

Hey guys,

is there any other way to run a dos command than

system.diagnostics.process.start("filename")

 

for example i need to run a nslookup command and pass arguments to it

 

like writting on CMD: nslookup blabla.com >> file.txt

in the case of

system.diagnostics.process.start("C:\windows\system32\nslookup.exe blabla.com >> file.txt")

 

doesn't work ...

 

any ideas ...

 

or any ideas instead using nslookup to see if a domain exists and return the result to the application ?

 

thanks

Why not just use the methods which are provided in the framework?

Namely, the Dns class which is part of the System.Net namespace.

Unfortunatly the DNS class has no methods for registering/binding an ip with a DNS server.

 

If anyone has an idea on how to use nsupdate which also needs a file or multiple arguments as params it would be appreciated.

The DNS class has some simple methods and works for what i wanted to do. But a solution that i thought about the previous problem is an intermediate .bat or .cmd file

 

get your parameters and create the complete string you would type to the command promt, save it to a .bat or .cmd file and then use the system.diagnostics.process.start to run this file

 

that way the complete command is executed.

hehe, actually a .bat file is my current solution. Just wanted to neat things up a bit.

 

Thanks anyway.

Hi Friends

 

How can i send 2 parameter for calling an exe file from System.diagnostic.process.start() function in Vb.net Forms on win 2000 Operating System

 

 

I tried the following way

 

1. System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\Denet\myexe", strEnteredName glborgCode)

Error : Comma,')', or a valid expression continuation expected.

2. System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\Denet\myexe", strEnteredName, glborgCode)

Error : Overload resolution failed because no accissible 'Start' accepts this number of arguments.

 

Please guide me

 

Thanks & Regards
