Open multiple files using arguments?

I was reading about that today; seems you'll need to deal with a DDE server.

I'm using this code to load multiple files using windows context menu, but the problem is that the aplication is open many times as files the user has selected. For example: If I select 14 files, an open them with the application, the aplicacion is opened 14 times and load the form only one. But there is a way to send all arguments once?

Because %1 send only one file, or there is for example a %2 that send all file pats in one argument? If there is I'vent found. This my actual code: Public Class Program Public Shared Sub Main() Dim FurBase As New Core.

ClsDatabase FurBase. Directory = My.Application.Info. DirectoryPath Dim returnValue As String() returnValue = Environment.

GetCommandLineArgs() If returnValue. Length > 1 Then FurBase. AddTemporalFilepath(returnValue(1).

ToString) End If If Not Process. GetProcessesByName(Process. GetCurrentProcess.

ProcessName). Length > 1 Then ShowUploader() End If End Sub Private Shared Sub ShowUploader() Dim Uploader As New frmUploader Application. EnableVisualStyles() Application.

Run(Uploader) End Sub End Class Please tell me what think about the code and if ther is any way to improve it. Regards~ vb.net arguments argument-passing link|improve this question asked Jan 24 '10 at 22:02Sein Kraft363218 84% accept rate.

I was reading about that today; seems you'll need to deal with a DDE server. There are an old question which can help you: What is the best .net alternative to dde for file associations?

Yes, I'm using that. But the command execute the applicacion for each file. The best should be send a big argument with al files and chunk them instead execute app and open file for each file.

For example: "C:\app. Exe file1. Txt file2.

Txt file3. Txt" – Sein Kraft Jan 24 '10 at 22:15 As I understood, you program will fire n times, but, through DDE or IPC, you'll notify first one to add more files – Rubens Farias Jan 24 '10 at 22:26 Yep, thats right. – Sein Kraft Jan 24 '10 at 22:54.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
