asp_databases thread: Running VB Exe With Arguments -Urgent


Message #1 by "Frankie, Loh Teck Seng" <lohts@p...> on Mon, 20 Nov 2000 17:13:45 +0800
Greeting;



	Ah, this thing is cracking my head, but has anyone try to run VB exe file

with arguments passed over to the exe file. The reason why I asked this is

because we have a set of libraries written in VB and some of the routine is

applicable to ASP and I am thinking to put a wrapper around the libraries

and call from ASP.



	Greatly appreciate if someone can give me a hint as how to pass arguments

to VB EXE file.



	Thanks.

hi,



you will have to recreate the exe file to give an interface where you 

can pass the variables used in your exe file from outside.



PUT AND GET for variables you want to use.



so that you can set the variables at runtime as



myObject.myVariable =3D "value"

hi,



what ever arguments you pass to an VB EXE program are available inside 

the EXE file



Private Sub Form_Load()

    Dim jignesh As String

    jignesh =3D Command

    MsgBox jignesh

    Unload Me

End Sub



try this code. make an exe file and pass it some arguments

what ever arguments you pass are available to you as string in "Command"



BTW how do you plan to use your VB EXE in your asp page. do tell me

hi,

the SaveSetting() and GetSetting() will store the variables in your 

registry. You can also just pass the variables through the command line. 

Like when you run PING.EXE -T , "-T" is the command line switch. The 

code will look something like this:

(forgive me its early in the morning here =3D)



Sub Form_Load()

    if Command$ =3D "" then

        msgbox("There is no Command Line Switch")

    end if

    if len(command$)>1 then

        variable1 =3D mid(command$,1,"/")

    end if

basically you can see what I am trying to do. Command$ is the VB 

function for Command Line Switch. Anything that is ran with the EXE will 

be held in this variable. You will also have to break the variable up 

with "/" or "-" or anyothere delimeter if you are gonna use more then 

one variable.

Hope this helps!

Mike
