6 New Member
I would like to know how to call a variable I have set in ms-dos using e.g. set h=hello in visual basic. Can this be done?

External parameters (like the %1 in DOSshell or BAT files) are enterd in VB by arguments.

Command Line Arguments, if passed to an executable, are stored in a special System Variable,
and can be returned to our program using the "Command" Function.

The result is only seen by executing the program, not at program Run.

The var "Command" is always present in VB (no need to define it)
De var COMMAND is altijd aanwezig in een VB programma (het moet niet gedefineerd worden !)

VB program=

Private Sub Form_Load()
Label1.Caption = Command
End Sub

I have a problem, it's not with any code I have because... there is no code. When I run a blank visual basic 6 form, it opens up just fine. When I add a text box, a caption, and a button... it gives me an error from microsoft's error report and asks me to send or not send the error, i chose and then it quits. The error report won't let me copy the data, but i gather it's pretty useless information unless you have the source code to visual...

Why do we have to contact MS for a problem that has been with this compiler from at least the beta of VS 20005. I am so sick and tired of the 30 - 40 clicks it takes to dismiss VS when there is a problem. Can they not just post the fix. I see no reason to contact MS since I have most likely sent about 1500 dumps to them and I would think this would get their attention.

Hi. When I try to run Visual Studio 2003 I get the message "MS development environment is not installed for the current user. Please run setup to install the application." Is there any way to work around this without reinstalling VS 2003? Also, can VS 2003 and VS 2005 coexist?

Hi all, I am experiencing a strange thing happening with a "designer.vb" page. Controls I manually declare in this page are automatically deleted after I drop another control on a ".aspx" page. - Why is this happening? - Can I disable automatic declaration and have everything be declared manually? - Any other options to fix this? Thanks in advance. Goran Djuranovic

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