Tools.Shell - Visual Basic .NET

Ty Moffett

What namespace is Tools.Shell in? I'm looking for a way to run a
commnd(start a silent install of an app) at the command prompt. If there is
something better to look at I'd love to hear it.

'Tools.Shell' is used to launch a tool from within the _IDE_. If you
want to start an application from your application, you can use 'Shell'
or 'System.Diagnostics.Process.Start'.

Thanks so much for your help Herfried. I'm heading down the rigt path now
but have hit another wall. I'll start a new thread for that one. Thanks
again.
