Command Line Arguments

how to retrive command line argument.

Visual Basic includes a "Command" function that provides all command-line
arguments as an entire string. In VB2005, you can also use the My.Application. CommandLineArgs
property, which provides a collection of the individual arguments.

When running your program within Visual Studio, you can set temporary command-line
arguments through the Project Properties form. Choose the Debug tab, and
then fill in the "Command line arguments" field as needed.

Select 'Sub Main' in the project's properties as startup object and add this
code to your project:

\\\
Public Module Program
Public Sub Main(ByVal Args() As String)
If Args.Length 0 Then
If ... Then
Application.Run (New MainForm())
Else
...
End If
Else
...
End If
End Sub
End Module

I created the service and the service itself works great. However, when I try to install...

Hi, I am developing a C++ project and want to pass some command line arguments in VS .NET 2003. I am in debug mode, the configuration is set to Debug and I entered my argument list in Project -> Project Properties -> Configuration Properties -> Debugging -> Command Arguments. The blurb provided in the properties window for this field reads "The command line arguments to pass to the application." which sounded promising.

Hi, I've written a program which has both a command line interface and Windows form interface, however it isn't quite working correctly. When run from command line with no arguments it should display the Windows form. The form is being displayed but the command only returns when the form is closed. I want the command line to return immediately, leaving the form displayed.
