The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Visual Basic - How do I start another program within my code?

Asked by rpacint in Microsoft Identity Integration Server, Visual Basic Programming

Tags: Visual Basic, Visual Basic Express Edition 2008

I am very new to writing Visual Basic and trying my best. I've gotten pretty much everything to work the way that I want it except this one line:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("c:\NK2View\nk2view.exe /delete_contains", NK2toDelete)

In short, I'm trying to call a another program that uses the quotes characters as part of the argument to start the program. Obviously VB doesn't like this. I've tried several different methods of using Chr(34), the & and variables and cant get it to work. this last version below I am trying to use variables but cant get it to work either.

The exact command line I want to execute is:

C:\NK2View\nk2view.exe /delete_contains "@emaildomain.com"

I guess I need help on System.Diagnostics.Process.Start object.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!
