Hello,
I have a simple batch file that I'm trying to call from a VB.NET
application:
@ECHO OFF
IF (%1)==() GOTO END
DIR %1 > MYDIR.TXT
:END
@ECHO ON
In VB.NET I can call the batch file without the sMYDir parameter:
System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt(AppDomain.Cu rrentDomain.Bas eDirectory
& "saveMylist .bat ")
But when I add my parameter:
System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt(AppDomain.Cu rrentDomain.Bas eDirectory
& "saveMylist .bat " & sMYDir)
I get:
"The system cannot find the file specified"
Does anyone have an idea how to work around this? I don't want to hard
code the path in my batch file.
AppDomain.Curre ntDomain.BaseDi rectory is:
"C:\Documen ts and Settings\MyUser \My Documents\Visua l Studio
2005\Projects\M yProj\bin\Debug \"
I had problems with spaces i the patch when I tried running the command
from a command prompt, so I tried changing the commandline to:
System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt(ControlChars .Quote &
AppDomain.Curre ntDomain.BaseDi rectory & "saveMylist.bat " " &
ControlChars.Qu ote & " " & sMYDir)
and get the same error.
I CAN run the complete concatenated string returned by
(ControlChars.Q uote & AppDomain.Curre ntDomain.BaseDi rectory &
"saveMylist.bat " " & ControlChars.Qu ote & " " & sMYDir) from the
command prompt with no errors, but it doesn't work when I call it from
System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt.
Thanks,
Eric

I had an extra quote in there, it should be:

Eric,
I am not sure if I understand your question but have a look at this. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...olderpath.aspx
if you are using version 2005 you can as well look to this. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...f7(vs.80).aspx
I hope this helps,

Try this:

Dim startInfo As New ProcessStartInf o( _

I presume that your batch file performs other processes as well but you
can duplicate this functionality using the classes in the System.IO
namespace. What is done with the output file, mydir.txt, after you have
created it? This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I remember that I used to set up utility batch files, and create Windows
shortcuts to them that would ask the user for parameters to supply to the
batch files. From what I can tell, this functionality simply doesn't exist
anymore in Windows 2000 or above. I did find a work-around to this that I
thought y'all might want to know about.
There are a number of new fetures in batch files available on Windows 2000

I have a web service that needs to create a batch file and call it (since
there are no APIs for the functionality I am looking for). I am using the
Process and ProcessStartInfo objects. When I try to call the batch file, it
just returns with a return code of 1. When I call cmd.exe, and pass the
batch file as a parameter it hangs. After much frustration and aggrevation,
I found that CMD IS in fact running, but it is running under the context...

Hi all,
Here's some work in progress that should allow you to run a batch file as a
custom action in a VS deployment project. Yup I know you can use js or wsh,
but the target may not have either.. Essentially it's just a wrapper for the
Process class and a command interpreter.
Warning, it only partly works. I had wanted to pass in
(a) The name of the batch file (through "BatchFileName"), and

I'm very new to vb (2nd day) and I need to create a small app that will

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
