HI there,

I am new to vb. I know c#,core java..etc. But i want to learn Vb now.

Can anybody tell me how to fetch parameters which have been passed from commandline to a vb form.

Ex: I created a ActiveX exe in vb and i called that exe in command prompt.

c: Test\cry.exe HELLO My name is PK

My question is how can i seperate or split the string("HELLO My name is PK") and store in an array. how can i pass the forloop for it.

Please anybody help.....

Also please tell me the difference between Interaction.Command$ and Command.

I've a answer to your first question.
In the Main of your application, you can add a args parameter:

VB

Private Shared Sub Main(args As String())
	' now, args(0) contains the first argument, args(1) the second argument,...
End Sub
