Passing parameters to executable from vb2005

Asked by esps in Miscellaneous Programming, Visual Studio .NET 2005

Hi Experts,
I need to call an executable from vb2005 with a specufic set of parameters
When I run the executable from the command prompt (DOS) with the following syntax:
c:\dist\snapshot "COM6" "R640x480" "c:\c328r\tt.jpg"  1
it works perfectly and the .jpg is created
from vb2005 I have tried a number of combinations but cannot seem to get the syntax right. Maybe the method I am using is wrong
The attached code snipped is what I am currently trying.
It does not give an error but does not work either
