vb.net open iexplorer and pass a variable

[Mike Ratliff]

I need to call internet explorer from another program and pass along a
variable to the aspx page that I am opening.
example iexplorer.exe "search.aspx?variable1="12345"

please give me an example of the proper command line syntax and the code to
set the variable in the aspx program.
thanks

Don't put "12345" in quotes. I don't know what the syntax would be for
"another program" but in any normal language, having a " in the middle of
the string like that would kick an error.

I am not even sure that is the correct syntax to call an aspx program. I
need examples using vb.net. The calling program does not matter, you could
run it from the command prompt of your computer. I just want to start an
aspx program and pass it a variable.

See a .net group then. This is a "classic" asp group.

This is a classic asp newsgroup. While you may be lucky enough to find a

luck factor by posting your question to an appropriate group. The .Net
