hi ll,

I've have some vb.net (2005) code that I've written below,

It SEEMS to display that it can't find the file in the status listbox. This to me seems strange as the 2 batch files that it uses are indeed there and named right,

Could someone please just PASS an eye over this code for me to make sure i haven't MADE some school boy error!

Code: [Select]Imports system.io

Public CLASS formtest
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles testrun.Click

'writes box1.text to a txt file for go.bat to import
Shell("c:\2go.bat " + box1.Text)
' Set start information.
Dim start_info As New ProcessStartInfo("c:\3go.bat")
With start_info
.UseShellExecute = False
.CreateNoWindow = True
.RedirectStandardOutput = True
.RedirectStandardError = True
End With
' Make the process and set its start information.
Dim batch As New Process()
batch.StartInfo = start_info

' Start the process.
batch.Start()

' Attach to stdout and stderr / display.
Dim std_out As StreamReader = batch.StandardOutput()
Dim std_err As StreamReader = batch.StandardError()
Dim display = std_out.ReadLine + std_err.ReadLine
' Display the results.

Formstatus.statuslist.HorizontalScrollbar = True
Formstatus.statuslist.Items.Add(display)
Formstatus.Show()


Me.Close()


' Clean up.
std_out.Close()
std_err.Close()
batch.Close()

cheers guys
