Program to launch programs :)

• zx5000

  Ok, so I figured out how to use the Process class, but I am having trouble specifying where my programs are. Any tips

  And for the .bat, I totally forgot that they are executable by themselves...but once again it didn't do anything when I launched it. I am sure I am putting the full adress to the programs but still no-go.

  If the programs cannot be found by just specifying their name, include their path as well:

  Process.Start("C:\SomeDir\SomeApp.exe")

  Take a look at the Process class and it's Start() method... together you can launch a pair of apps just as easily as:

        Process.Start("notepad.exe")
        Process.Start("calc.exe")

  Hey, thanks for the quick responses. They are two exe files. I tried just sticking the Process.Start code into a button but I get this error:

  Error 1 The name 'Process' does not exist in the current context C:\Documents and Settings\MATTHEW\Local Settings\Application Data\Temporary Projects\BF2VentLauncher\Form1.cs 25 13 BF2VentLauncher

  I know I should know what the problem is but I dont.

  And for the script file, what do I write to make my program launch that file

  Thanks, I appriciate it so much.

  Should be

  if (System.IO.File.Exists(@"C:\SomeDir\SomeApp.exe"))

  Process.Start(@"C:\SomeDir\SomeApp.exe");

  It's better.

  If you've further problems, pls feel free to let me know.

  Thanks.

  Odd... I could have sworn that this thread started in a VB.NET forum.

  Are the programs executable files what is the extension of both files you'll have to make a script that will open both, depending on what type of file they are will determine how to open them.

  If they are both executable files you'll make a notepad and write

  cd\

  c:\(path)(filename).exe

  c:\(path)(filename).exe

  exit

  and save this as a (filename).bat file and run this when you need to.
