I want the user to be able to select a group of files in windows explorer,
right click, open with - my application and have my application put all of
the file names onto the clipboard.
It seems that the command line args is only capturing the last file selected
when the app is executed. files.length is always equal to 2 no matter how
many files are selected when the app is run. Is there another way to do this?
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim i As Integer
Dim files As String() = Environment.Get CommandLineArgs ()
Console.WriteLi ne(files.Length )
If files.Length 1 Then
i = 0
For Each s As String In My.Application. CommandLineArgs
Console.WriteLi ne(s)
Next
Console.ReadLin e() 'this temporary to keep the console window open
End If
End Sub
End Module
Thanks for your assistance.

Creating a shortcut in the send to folder fixes the problem as described in
the post "Opening multiple files with my application". This is a good work
around for now. Does anyone know why windows does this?
Thanks!

Thanks, it was your post that led me to the work around. I had done some
initial searching but didn't see anything. the behavior is strange. Even in
the send to folder the results are inconsistant. Sometimes I get all of the
files, sometimes I only get one.

Hi,
I have an application that I want to be to run in Console mode and GUI
mode. If no params are entered, I want the GUI fired up, if params are
entered, then go into console mode.
I believe I have all the code set up to do this, however when I issue a
Console.WriteLine instruction, nothing gets written to the console. In
fact, the command prompt comes back before the program has finished
executing. What do I need to do?

Hi I have a really basic question hopefully some can help me with:
Can you write a (i.e. one) C# project that works from the cmd line and gui?
I seems if i write a GUI app it can't write to console using
System.Console.WriteLine if thge project has its "Output Type" to
"Windows Application".
However I can write to stdio if i set output type to "Console
Application". When I do this I unfortunately get a "console box" as well

I have a GUI application that needs to be invoked from the command line
as well. It should work both as a GUI and as a console application.
When I invoke it from the command line, it reads all the command line
options perfectly. However, I can't use Console.WriteLine to write
messages to the console (the lines don't appear at the console window).
Is it possible? What should I do to "connect" the console?

I'm wroting a console utility in VB 2005, and I need the ability to pass

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
