Executing Command Line Application And Inserting An Argument Automatically

May 11, 2010

I have a normal windows forms application. A button launches a command line application.I need to insert an argument automatically without the keyboard. Then hide the command line application. I've been trying to figure out how to do this but with little success.I need to build a function that does this but I've never built a function before.Here is what I have but it tells me it may result in a null exception.(Because I'm not doing something quite right.)[code]

C# - Make A Windowless / Command-line Application Return But Continue Executing In Background?

Feb 15, 2011

I'm writing a command-line application in .Net. The app itself is fairly simple, but it has to connect synchronously to a web-service, which in turn has to connect to a Oracle database, and those pieces are fond of taking their time.

Is there a straightforward way (without dividing my app exe in two) to continue executing but nonetheless yield execution to the command prompt?

It's Windows, so no "&". Also, I cannot use cmd.exe's "start" cmdlet.

Command Line Argument: Check If Correct Command Line Or Exit App?

Jun 6, 2012

I have beginner skills using VB (am using the Express edition to learn). I would like to know how to set up a conditional statement in a Windows Form (WF) app that would check if a specific command line has been passed by another separate app that launchesthe Windows Form app using command lines, and if not passed, then the Windows Form app would shut down (exit, close).So far, I can use:

For Each s As String In My.Application.CommandLineArgs
If s <> "xyz" Then
Me.Close()

Executing An Exe With Cmd Line Argument %username%?

Apr 3, 2012

Using VB 2010 Express. I'm having trouble executing an .exe from my application with command line arguments. It works in the desktop shortcut but passing it from my application it's just writing %username% in and not pulling the username as if it was doing it in cmd line. Here is the path/arguments as we use them currently in a desktop shortcut:

"C:program.exe" /z app /s 1.1.1.1 /p 29091 /a U=%username% It all works fine other than %username%

Passing Command Line Argument?

Dec 15, 2011

I am a beginner using Visual Studio Express 2010 to create a small console app to use as a utility accompanying another primary app that can pass a command line to the utility. I would like to set it up so that the utility will not run independently but only run and load its only form (Form1) if it is launched by the primary app using a "/run" command line parameter. (I can set up the primary app to launch and pass a command line parameter. I need help with the utility's code.)

The utility already has some VB code, so I need to figure out what code to add to receive and act on the " /run" command line and even more challenging for me, where to place this new code so it works.

pseudo-code:

initial event to read the command line, then if it is " /run" load Form1, else do not open and run utility app.

Command Line Argument Specifying Custom Constant

Jan 30, 2011

Can VisualStudio VisualBasic be opened with a command line argument specifying a custom constant for conditional coding? Instead of specifying it at "properties > Compile > Adv Compile Opts > Custom constants", I would like to just run a .BAT file that opens VisualStudio/VisualBasic and my source code with the "Custom constant" already set for the conditional coding.

Send Command To Command Line From Windows Form Application?

Mar 11, 2010

I am trying to send a command to the external command line (cmd.exe) from the Windows form application that I'm writing in VB.NET (using VS2008).

I can only access the external program thru the command line (its not my program) and I must do so from a form app.

I am trying to use the following code. I am able to call a cmd.exe window, but I can't pass the command line my command.

Using mp As New Process
With mp.StartInfo
.FileName = "cmd.exe"

[2005] Command Line Application

Feb 20, 2009

I'm currently in the middle of a Console Application. I have done everything and it's ready to be handed in. However, I don't want to hand it in like this. I want to build upon it.

One of the ways I'd like to build upon this is with an e-mailing system. I'm find it hard to include the e-mail code in to the project and would like to request assistance. I'm uncomfortable posting the full code on the net as it is for my A-Level Computing and anyone that is doing the same course as me will be able to claim it to be there own.

Application.Restart With Different Command Line Arguments?

Jan 27, 2010

Is it possible to restart a VB.NET application, but with different command line arguments than it originally had? Here is the challenge. I want to write a single instance application. If the second instance has the same CL args as the first, then the built-in behavior is fine (second instance never opens, e.BringToForeground=True brings 1st instance to foreground, everything is great). But if the second instance has different CL args, then I would like the first instance to close and the second instance to start. However, once you mark a VB.NET app as "single instance only", it appears that you can never get the second instance. I think: OK, fine, I can just restart my first instance from the StartupNextInstance event. But how do I use the new command line arguments from the second instance? The Restart() method does not take CL args that I can see.

.net - ClickOnce Application Won't Accept Command-line Arguments

Sep 28, 2011

I have a VB.NET application that takes command-line arguments. It works fine when debugging provided I turn off Visual Studio's ClickOnce security setting.The problem occurs when I try to install the application on a computer via ClickOnce and try to run it with arguments. I get a crash when that happens (oh noes!).

There is a workaround for this issue: move the files from the latest version's publish folder to a computer's C: drive and remove the ".deploy" from the .exe. Run the application from the C: drive and it will handle arguments just fine.

I am writing an application in which a user is doing a file conversion. I have a set of tools that can perform the conversion on the fly via command line, but I'm not entirely sure of how to go about passing the parameters I need to the command line and running them. Can someone point me to the right direction?Would I just create a System.Diagnostics.Process and use that? If so how do I do the line by line command?
