Examples

This example uses the My.Application.CommandLineArgs property to examine the application's command-line arguments. If an argument is found that starts with /input=, the rest of that argument is displayed.

Private Sub ParseCommandLineArgs()
 Dim inputArgument As String = "/input="
 Dim inputName As String = ""

 For Each s As String In My.Application.CommandLineArgs
 If s.ToLower.StartsWith(inputArgument) Then
 inputName = s.Remove(0, inputArgument.Length)
 End If
 Next

 If inputName = "" Then
 MsgBox("No input name")
 Else
 MsgBox("Input name: " & inputName)
 End If
End Sub
