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)

[jorge]

ok, found it,

i used () instead of (1) :eek:
