Hi,

How can i get a name of shortcut file of exe, which is generated from vb.net application. for example

I have the scenario as based on shortcut icon name i have to do some action in application. i have the vb.net application and i generated the exe also. Now I am creating the 3 shortcut for that exe into desktop(like My1.exe,My2.exe,My3.exe)

if i click My1.exe then i should get "My1.exe" as string (like wise...)

So based on which shortcut i clicked i am doing the further action(i.e disabling and enabling the forms or etc..)

Can anybody help me on the same...

I hope the code below will helpful to you...

VB

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    Dim sFileName As String = String.Empty

    sFileName = Application.ExecutablePath
    MsgBox("FullFileName: " & sFileName & vbCr & _
            "Executable name: " & IO.Path.GetFileName(sFileName) & vbCr & _
            "Path of executable: " & IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(sFileName))
End Sub
