Running the command linw with VB.NET

[silvercoin]

Does anyone know how to run the command prompt using vb.net.

 

Like say, running the vbc using a code in the program.

 

or do i need to run the command line or can i just run the compiler straight without using the command prompt.

 

whats the process of running and app with vb.net code?

 

thanks

You can use the shell execute API

You can access the compiler directly from within .NET

       Dim strPath As String = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.ApplicationBase
           Dim prosTestMode As New Process
           With prosTestMode
               .StartInfo.FileName = strPath & "Test.exe"
               .StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = False
               .Start()
               .WaitForExit()
           End With

 

This is the way I run a program instead of using the shell command.

There is more to the Process as well. On Process hit F1 for help and there is more to it like attributes if you need to use them.
