Hi,
my application use environment variable, let call it FOO.
how can i add the FOO environment variable to my project or my solution,
so the line
string foo = Environment.Get EnvironmentVari able("FOO");
will work ?
Thanks. 6 5337
The process that launches your application must set the environment variable
before it launches your application. For example, you can write a simple
batch file that sets the environment variable and then launches your
executable. It can be as simple as...
set FOO=SomeValue
MyApp.exe

Thanks.
i forgot to tell a few details :
the problem i need to solve is to run 2 instances of my sample app
simultaneously from the folder with 2 different app configurations. so FOO is
the name of myconfig.xml file.
1. i need to be able to run my project from Visual Studio.NET 2003, so i
don't know how to this set FOO=SomeValue inside the Visual Studio IDE and not
from outside batch file. so every time the user want to change FOO value he
will change it and then press F5 (Run) from the VS.NET without the need to
leave or restart the IDE.
2. the user need to run 2 instances simultaneously of my sample application
with different values for FOO from the same sample app folder.
3. without using Main args[] parameters array ?
shortly something like VM paramerers in java.
Thanks.

Hello yaron,
Use Environment.Set EnvironmentVari able for .NET 2.0 or P/Invoke
[DllImport("kern el32.dll", SetLastError=tr ue)]
static extern bool SetEnvironmentV ariable(string lpName, string lpValue);

Hello yaron,
Nope. U can't change machine settings from the VS IDE, but u can call some
app in Pre/Post build action, where your machine settings will be set.

Hi Michael,
if before loading VS IDE my environment variable FOO==aaa, then in the pre
or post build event i will write the command SET FOO=bbb then i will run the
program from the VS IDE (Ctrl^F5) would i see the new value for FOO which is
bbb ?
or maybe there is other trick to cause the running program from the IDE to
see the new value for FOO ?
Thanks a lot.
