I need to know when to use 2 double quotes?
.... is it different when you have arguments ...lets say:
1.- Process.Start(" notepad", " ""C:\Bla Bla\1.txt"" ""/p Y"" " )
2.- proc.arguments = how?

Raulavi,
A pity that the Microsoft guy Herfried K. Wagner can only give an answer on
this question probably everybody knows its answer.

Raulavi,
A double quote in every VB language is used to set a single quote in a
string.
Here is a more complete about sample about what you ask.
\\\
Dim p As New Process
Dim pi As New ProcessStartInf o
pi.Arguments = """C:\Windows\W in.Ini"" ""/p"" ""Y"""
pi.FileName = "notepad.ex e"
p.StartInfo = pi
p.Start()
///
Although I absolutly don't know what those parameters mean,
Cor
Thanks...for the clarification, I wanted to be sure I did not miss something.
First, let me thanks each one of you that has replied to my msgs.
(then, Yeap I know that issue about VB dblequotes)
I found what was going with all these arguments passing...got carry out.
Very sorry about it.
the problem was not on arguments but, on one of my routines ( did some cut
and paste and you know the rest).
I thought that it was something special about running console exes and
arguments passing. I think I know how now.
But, you all did help me to find out what was wrong.
Thanks

Double quotes are typically used to remove ambiguity when dealing with paths
containing spaces. Consider an application that accepts two paths as
command-line arguments and these paths contain spaces -- in this case it
would be hard to separate the two paths from each other. However, not all
applications understand double quoted paths at all, especially some other
tools ported from DOS/Win16 may recognize paths in 8.3 format without spaces
only.

Addendum:
Sorry, it seems that I misread your post. Two consecutive double quotes are
used inside string literals to encode single double quote characters. In
other words, each sequence of two double quotes which is embedded into a
string literal will be interpreted as a single double quote.

In my app I want the users to be able to select a folder to do their work
in. The FolderBrowserDialog is a great way to do this, but I don't want to
have a dialog pop up every time they want to switch folders. Is there a
treeview control (ala Windows Explorer) in the 1.1 framework, or do I need
to find a 3rd party control? If I need to find a 3rd party control, can
anyone suggest a good free one?
Thanks,
