How To Read Shell Paramaters
Jun 16, 2011
I need to be able to read a variable that is coming from the dos shell "sort of". We run this app that is supposed to create a word document.In some of the old school versions of word you could pass a command line parameter of /N to winwordto autocreate the file. That doesn't work in 2007 so I'm trying to write a vbscript to take it's place. I did the same in powershell and had not problems, it just recognized the variable.
'Command line arguments
Set colNamedArguments = WScript.Arguments.Named
strHelp = colNamedArguments.Item("?")

I was just curious as to whether after you have added all of the Parameters to the SQL Command Parameters Collection. Is there a convenient way to iterate or loop through the Parameters and make Assignments to the SQL Command Parameters Values Property?

I'm going to attempt to make a shell replacement for the Windows default shell: explorer.exe. I'm not sure if its possible using Vb.Net, but I can't seem why not. My end goal is to use a custom made shell for a Windows Preinstallation Environment instead of the default command prompt. I plan to use a 3rd party program to compile the program with the .NET Framework. Otherwise, it wouldn't work because Windows PE does not support the .NET Framework.

I'm trying to use the Shell to have my application call an external application but its not working...I don't understand why. I get the following error: 'System.windows.shell' is a namespace and cannot be used as an expression!
Heres my code....any ideas what I'm doing wrong. Its got to be a simple...stupid error.

I want to send messages withing a windows 7 LAN using VB.NET code. The problem is that the msg.exe executes commands in admin mode only. Here is the code. Shell("cmd.exe /k runas /user:farook-pcadministrator msg.exe") 'Here i'm prompted for a password. Shell("cmd.exe /k msg.exe", 1) I use the /k switch to see what's going on in the shell. /c is the silent switch. I do not wish to use runas neither do I wish to change privilages in msg.exe

I have an update app, which can be updated itself by another update app (so, the second app is an updater of the main updater). Both apps must have administrator permissions because of writing in the Program Files folder. Is it possible that when the main updater is running (under administrator rights) it can use Shell() to let the second updater run with administrator rights without a UAC confirm dialog popping up again?

I wrote a backup utility that synchronizes a list of folders. Errors appear in a list. In the list I can right-click to retry, exclude the folder next time, or open the folder in explorer to examine.When I shell to explorer I get an AccessViolationException. Form1 opens Form4 with Form4. ShowDialog(), and that's where the error occurs. The error does not occur within Form4 where the shell function is called. memory must be getting trashed somehow.I've used two methods, Shell and System.Diagnostics.Process.Start. Each produces similar results. Shell waits awhile before causing the error, but Process.Start causes the error immediately.This is VB.Net 2010 using framework 4, though I did resolve a shell problem once before with VBA by writing out a VBScript file then shelling to the VBScript file.

set the Icon for an item in a shell handler? I've set a contextmenu handler to the extension .savdata and added the text "Open with ConvertFile" to the handler so that the context menu for .savdata looks like this:
Open with ConvertFile
-------------------------------------
Send To >
[code]....
So how can I use "my.computer.registry.HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" in VB 2008 express edition to add an Icon file path to the left of the context menu handler?

Apparently, it's not safe to use the .Net framework < 4 to write a shell extension.
As my users are likely to not have that version of the framework, I'd rather use a third-party solution so I can write the main app in .Net 2 or 3.
Can someone recommend an add-on for this, either open-source or affordable?

Here's an example code so you can understand my problem:
Dim test1 As String
Dim test2 As String
Dim test3 As String
[code]....
shell.Run("""testProgram""test1 test2 test3 test4") 'I know this is wrong.My problem is in the last line. I want the contents of the strings to be printed, not the names of the strings, and I don't know how to do that.

I have a VB.net program in which I call the Shell function. I would like to get the text output that is produced from this code in a file. However, this is not the return value of the executed code so I don't really know how to.
This program is a service but has access to the disk no problem as I already log other information. The whole service have multiple thread so I must also make sure that when the file is written it's not already accessed.

I'm designing an interface using visual basic .NET with visual studio tool. In my program I have to call an extern .exe using the function shell() and pass a FileName to it. The problem is that what it passes to the executable is never the file path. My code is this one and I think it should work but I don't know why, it doesn't.
