How do I program my VB.net program to run an exe on a device connected to my PC?

[slaze1catalpa]

I have a VB.net program that uploads 2 flat files onto a scanner device that is connected to the user's PC. Now I want to have my VB.net program run an EXE on this scanner device after the flat files are uploaded. Is this possible? Please advise.

My code currently checks that the device is connected, checks that the folder in the device exists, then uploads all flat files found on my reader file list:

        dev = mgr.Devices.FirstConnectedDevice
        If dev Is Nothing Then
            End
        End If

        Try
            RemoteDirectory.CreateDirectory(dev, "\Application\modified")
        Catch
            End
        End Try

        While (readerfile.Peek() <> -1)
            Try
                line = readerfile.ReadLine()
                commaLoc = InStr(line, ",")
                filePathIn = Mid(line, 1, commaLoc - 1)
                filePathOut = Mid(line, commaLoc + 1)

                RemoteFile.CopyFileToDevice(dev, filePathIn, filePathOut, True)
            Catch
                End
            End Try
        End While

Honestly, I have no idea what you are talking about, but the documentation for the Process.Start method should probably be fitting for the 'run an exe' part.

I'd think it would only possible if the scanner provides an API exposing that kind of functionality.

Off topic, do not ever use End. Notto mention it has no place in visual basic. It' a classic visual basic leftover.
