Using process.start in a wpf application to invoke another wpf application

Question

See more:

I am trying to invoke one wpf application from another wpf application. The invoking wpf application makes the call

C#

ProcessStartInfo BOM = new ProcessStartInfo();

BOM.FileName = @"D:\WPFAPPLICATION.exe";

BOM.Arguments = temp;

Process.Start(BOM);

Now in the invoked application, I try to retrieve the argument passed using

string arguments =Process.GetCurrentProcess().StartInfo.Arguments;

However the arguments are not passed. why is this??

I also tried an alternative method where in:

C#

public partial class App : Application
   {
   public static String[] mArgs;

   private void Application_Startup(object sender, StartupEventArgs e)
   {

       if (e.Args.Length > 0)
       {
           mArgs = e.Args;

       }
   }
   }
   }

I have also tried:

C#

string[] args = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs

However this did not work either!!! Please HELP!!

I found a web page that showed a version that was converted from C# to VB.Net
http://www.vbdotnetheaven.com/uploadfile/mahesh/access-command-line-arguments-in-VB-Net/[^]

Ive tried this in VB.Net and it works

VB

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    Dim psnfo As String
    Dim strbuilder As New StringBuilder
    Dim arg As String
    For Each arg In Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()
        strbuilder.AppendLine(arg)
    Next
    psnfo = strbuilder.ToString
    TextBox1.Text = "Args: " & psnfo.ToString
End Sub

The code returns:
Args: C:\Testapp1.exe
temp

It will return both args passed to it.

your code does not appear to treat the args as an array or group of items.
Hope this helps some.
