Pass Variables

obrienkev · July 18th, 2008, 03:52 AM

Hi,

I want to pass 2 variables in ApplicationA to another application - ApplicationB

My code in ApplicationA...

Code:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("http://applications/App2/App2.application" + UserName + Period);

And ApplicationB to receive the variables...

Code:

String[] arguments = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs();

label5.Text = "GetCommandLineArgs: {0}" + String.Join(", ", arguments);

However, the variables are not received by ApplicationB.

Why is this?

Thanks.

I believe that for click-once style applications arguments are passes much like URL query parameters.

The following two articles detail the process of supplying, and then reading of the arguments.
