Passing an argument to VB2005 application

Hello folks, Ive been working on a little app for a while now that is a poor-man's terminal emulator. I have a question - How do I capture an argument passed to the visual basic application? For example - my application allows you to save 'sessions' what I want to do is for the user of the application to pass an argument to the application that corresponds to their session name, and have it automatically load those settings and connect. All of the session settings are saved in an XML file.

Any help would be stupendous.

Hi !
Maybe Environment.GetCommandLineArgs
is what you need :)

Okay, that looks like it may work.. Im going to capture the argument as a variable in my vb app.. now what I need to do is search on that argument through my xml.. can I use a selectsinglenode with xpath to do this?

Sorry can't help you with XML node and stuff. But what you can do is to create a custom dataset, then store any info you which and invoke the WriteXml to it to a file, and the ReadXml to reload the information.
