Hi Barry,

What error do you get and where?
Anyway, do you want to use console app to start any other app (winforms or
such)? If so, then use:

[c#] System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("some.exe", string.Join(" ", args))

See :
System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs

Seeing command line arguments as arguments for the main function is a C like
language "tradition".



You may want to elaborate a bit as I'm not sure to understand what you are
trying to do (of couse Console.Write won"t work in a Windows applciation).
My understanding ois that you want to launch a Windows application and
reading possible command line arguments passed when starting this Windows
application.
