trace route in vb 2008 express

[markhorgan1]

hey everyone,
im looking to do a trace route to an ip (specified in a text box) and have the results displayed in a textbox. I know that this has been brought up in the forums before but im yet to find a version thats compatible with vb 2008 express edition. The vb.netmvps example is exactly the functionality im looking for but it throws up 80 +errors(*** is no longer supported etc)
http://vbnet.mvps.org/index.html?cod...et/tracert.htm

the host resolution isnt an issue becasue i already have the list of ip's and corresponding host names that i would be tracing in a db.

does anyone have a tracert app that is compatible with this version of vb or indeed know where i could find one ?

Here's an example reading StandardOutput from tracert.exe.

	Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
		MessageBox.Show(ReturnShellResults("tracert.exe", "www.google.com"))
	End Sub

	Private Shared Function ReturnShellResults(ByVal exeName As String, Optional ByVal args As String = "") As String
		Dim p As New Process
		With p.StartInfo
			.FileName = exeName
			.Arguments = args
			.UseShellExecute = False
			.RedirectStandardError = True
			.RedirectStandardInput = True
			.RedirectStandardOutput = True
			.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden
			.CreateNoWindow = True
		End With

		Dim result As String
		Try
			p.Start()
			result = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd()
			p.WaitForExit()
		Catch ex As Exception
			result = ex.ToString
		Finally
			p.Dispose()
		End Try

		Return result
	End Function
