I would like to create a small app that selects a file and executes it at command line or places it at command line. The file is a script that I currently run as a batch script, but I want to make it automated using vb buttons and file selection for execution.<br />
<br />
Anybody know some function that I can use to select a batch script file and execute at command prompt via click of a button?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

VB/VB.Net - File selection command line execution

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
