Get The Path To The Associated File Used To Launch A Program?
Mar 24, 2010
I have a program with an associated file type. However, when I double-click a file to launch the program, I can't figure out where that path was passed to the program.Initially I thought the file path would be in Environment.CommandLine, but the command line only contained the program path.I specified the file association using the Publish Options in visual studio like so: extension: .ext, Description: Some File, ProgId: ProjectName, Icon: SomeIcon.ico.

It's probably the most basic of things, but all I can find is how to launch a program, and not with the interactions I desire. Any tips as to the terms to use to search for answers, or links to topics regarding questions similar to mine, would be very appreciated. I have a wealth of info to read through, but I could use your knowledge to save myself time.Here is what I am trying to do:
Use a Button (A) to Launch a Prompt where User Selects Directory Path to an executable Program. The Selection is to be Persistent after the initial selection (saved in a settings file i assume?), and the Selected Path (or just "programname.exe") is to be Displayed in a Text Field (B). Launch Selected and Indicated Program via a Launch Button (C)

1. I have a button, and registry entries, each tell me what version and where it is located.
Example : (reg path = HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareTNL)
Path = c:program filesmyprogram
Regan = us
The program its launching is called caw.exe. but it requires diffrent locations in a file named realms.*** file to work properly. Basically if Regan = us, do this, else if regan = eu do that, else if regan = tu do this. I need to basicly erase everything in that file and replace it, the file location is located under :
"PATH"/data/en"Regan"/realmlist.***
The PATH and Regan need to be replaced with correct paths.
2. After it has finished modifying the File it saves it and then Launches
Path/caw.exe

Reading a .txt file in VB.net. My file path is C:UsersMyLilMulePepeDocumentsVisual Studio 2008Projectscurtain_calls.txt.
This is my line of Dim LoanOptionsFile As String = "C:UsersMyLilMulePepeDocumentsVisual Studio 2008Projectscurtain_calls.txt"
I can read the file when I run the program, but how do I write the file path so that someone else can download my program and file and read the file on their system?

I have a Access program and I'm using VBA code in the background to run Winunzip using shell command. Well, the path of the .zip file has spaces in it and it's not recongizing the path as a valid path. Is there a another way to tackle this problem besides the shell?I can't us pkzip either. Has you can see I had to use progra~1 instead of Program Files.[code]

So I have my form, I add one combobox (combobox1) and a button that says "Launch..."Button 1's
Process.Start(ComboBox1.SelectedItem)
When you select a program from the combobox (combobox1) and click launch, it launches that program, for example, cmd.exe (command prompt) when I click the button, it launches the command prompt, but if I select a game (for example chess.exe, for vista), it says it can't find the file, this is because the search for the file is only: WindowsSystem32, how can I change that? OR, how can I add a reference that searches the WHOLE Disk, not just WindowsSystem32?

I am trying to activate Rosetta Stone on a button click (button4). It opens but gives me an error. 2123 is the error code. I guess this may require knowledge of Rosetta Stone more than VB but I have found no luck searching google. Is there alternative code to what I'm trying to do?
Code:

Is there any way to make Windows call a VB program instead of the default Internet browser?
What I want to do is to use a VB program with buttons down the left-hand side that when clicked will launch that URL in the browser windows of the form. This will prevent users from surfing in places they shouldn't but still allow them to get to the sites they need to get to for their jobs. These buttons could also change based on the username of the person launching the program.
But it all depends on being able to call this program in place of the browser when they click on a link in a email or somewhere else.

I am trying to startup a simple VB.net program that has a GUI from a service. I have tried a few flavors of Process.Start and none of them allow the GUI to work. I can get the farthest using:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(
"C:ProgramDataWatcherStartIt.bat")
And from inside the batch:
start C:TestTestStart.exe
Eventually I get an "Interactive Services Detection" dialog telling me that a message is trying to be displayed and when I click View the message, I see my expected dialog but the program won't run. I am Running on Win7 Home 64 bit. My Simple GUI program was written in VB.net VS2008. I set the service properties to "allow interaction with the desktop" but this does not help.Is there any way to launch a program from within a service that will allow you to interact with the desktop?

I'd like to know how you can actually select(highlight) a program from a list of programs displayed in a list box in Windows Form. I've done research and most results end up with openFileDialog condition or have to manually type the directory path. But what I have currently is the display of a list of programs in a list box(like Add/Remove Programs) but I'd like to have the user launch it upon double-clicking or clicking on a button(after a program is highlighted).
In short, it's like selecting a program in Add/Remove Program but instead of the Uninstall button, I want it to be a Launch button. I believe I already have the executable path behind the codes with the registry so I just need to know how you can select, and launch.
(Below contains an example of the kind of code I'm having)
Public Partial Class MainForm
Public Sub New()
' The Me.InitializeComponent call is required for Windows Forms designer support.
Me.InitializeComponent()

Gentlemen, I have an application made by a Vendor that sends a set of arguments to an application I am working on. I am unsure how to "launch" my application with these arguments. The vendor's app is a service that runs and launches my application when necessary. I'm assuming i need to modify the main form's constructor, but not sure.

I am making a Visual Basic program that launches Halo CE, and two other programs at the same time. The two other applications load fine but when it tries to launch Halo CE an error windows comes up saying that there is missing files which there is not. I use
"Process.Start("C:Program Files/Microsoft Games/Halo Custom Edition/haloce.exe")".
I have tried to copy and paste numerous files into the "Debug" folder from the Halo CE folder but there is one file that is demanded but is simply not on my computer. I would also not want to put programs files in the debug folder because I wish to publish this to "Halo Maps."

I am running Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express. I created a simple program that is nothing more than dozens of Windows Forms that are linked together by the various clickable buttons I put on each form. The program is like a "book" with several pages, and you jump to a specific page by clicking on specific buttons on the current page ("Windows Form").
My question is, how do I change my program so that when it is launched, instead of just 1 Windows Form opening, the program opens up several Windows Forms (of my choosing) automatically? In other words, instead of my "book" (VB program) opening "page 1," when I run it, I want it so that pages 4, 7, 8, 10, and 15, are "opened" whenever I run my "book."
Is there some code I need to insert into each Windows Form I wanted opened automatically when the program is loaded? Or is this a MS VB 2010 Express environment option I need to set?

Response.WriteFile(FilePath)
Response.End()
This procedure will work fine and display in the browser. However, if I save the file to C:Document123.pdf, how can I access this file using relative path in MapPath function. Is there an option to access the file which is saved out of IIS server? I am using vb.net 2003.
