I am trying to send a command line parameter to a utilty I wrote. For
example:

c:\utilities\powerbuddy.exe 50

The 50 can be any number.

How do I see it in the program? Do I have to create a Main rountine and
pass it the value? If so how? And then, how do I load the main form of the
applicaiton from the Main sub?

Thanx,

Loading the form:

\\\
Application.Run(New MainForm())
///
 
I am getting No accessible 'Main' method with an appropriate signature was
found in 'PowerBuddy'.

Where do I put this:
Public Module Program

Public Sub Main(ByVal Arg As Integer)

End Sub

End Module

I right clicked on the solution and picked "Add Module". Then I added the
Sub Main and made the module Public. Still I am getting the abvoe error.

Thanx,

The 'Main' sub expects an array of strings as shown in my sample. You'll
have to perform your own conversion:

\\\
Public Sub Main(ByVal Args() As String)
Dim Number As Integer
If Args.Length > 0 Then
Number = CInt(Args(0))
Else
...
End If
End Sub
