I believe that all three of the above answers are correct. &nbsp;I found the last one the easiest to understand and therefore I used it. &nbsp;Thanks for you help.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I'm trying to program a very elementary program (to work with another software vendors program) that needs to be able to accept two parameters from the command line. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
The instructions I have from the software vendor say: When [TheirSoftware] 'calls' or invokes [MyProgram], it passes two parameters on the command line. &nbsp;The first parameter is the exact name and path of the [first text file generated by TheirSoftware] and the second paraemter is the exact name and path of the [text file to be passed back to TheirSoftware].<br />
<br />
So my program will be invoked like this:<br />
<br />
MyProgram c:\somedirectory\original.<wbr />txt c:\somedirectory\new.txt<br />
<br />
How do I read or use the parameters that are being passed to MyProgram?

Recieving parameters on the command line

I&#39;m trying to program a very elementary program (to work with another software vendors program) that needs to be able to accept two parameters from the command line.  

The instructions I have from the software vendor say: When [TheirSoftware] &#39;calls&#39; or invokes [MyProgram], it passes two parameters on the command line.  The first parameter is the exact name and path of the [first text file generated by TheirSoftware] and the second paraemter is the exact name and path of the [text file to be passed back to TheirSoftware].

So my program will be invoked like this:

MyProgram c:\somedirectory\original.txt c:\somedirectory\new.txt

How do I read or use the parameters that are being passed to MyProgram?

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
