VB.Net: using multiple parameter input from multiple textbox to run .exe

Question

I have created a form which will run a .exe file say test.exe and take the input from a textbox. The code I have written

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("E:\My_programme\test\test.exe", TextBox1.Text)

This works fine

Now I need another program to run which takes 2 inputs from 2 different textbox. The code I have written

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("E:\My_programme\test\test.exe", TextBox1.Text, TextBox2.Text)

Its showing Error 1 Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'Start' accepts this number of arguments

The normal procedure to run the test.exe from command prompt is

E:\My_programme\test\test.exe", A, B

where A and B are two parameters to be given in the two textbox.

I am very new to Visual Basic, so anybody please help me to solve my problem.

The System.Diagnostics.Process.Start() method only accepts a String defining the path to the .exe and a second String defining the parameters. Try:

Dim parameters as String
parameters = String.Format("{0} {1}", TextBox1.Text, TextBox2.Text)
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("E:\My_programme\test\test.exe", parameters)

This will create one string out of the two TextBoxes and forward it to the test.exe as input.

Put your arguments in StartInfo.Arguments

  Dim p As New System.Diagnostics.Process
  p.StartInfo.FileName = "E:\My_programme\test\test.exe"
  p.StartInfo.Arguments = TextBox1.Text &" "& TextBox2.Text
  p.Start()
