[RESOLVED] Execute CMD commands in VB with parameters

[TysonLPrice]

Since you are using .Net I'd suggest looking at using "Process" Shell is similar to Process.Start and you have more control:

CreateNoWindow: Specifies that you want to run a command line program silently without flashing a console window.

You can also trap warning and see if you want to act on them or ignore them.

Here is a sample I use just to give you the flavor:

Dim mProcess As New Process

            mProcess.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = "C:\_Team\_Deploy\SQL\LTR1TEAMSQLUA CMISQL\Rating"
            mProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "SVN"
            mProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = "update 2_ToDeploy"
            mProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True
            mProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = True
            mProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False
            mProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = False

            mProcess = Process.Start(mProcess.StartInfo)

            pOutput = mProcess.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd
            pError = mProcess.StandardError.ReadToEnd
            mProcess.WaitForExit()
