hi,

Sorry for my bad English!

I want to by click button run access file in folder.
I use Application.StartupPath for stupfile of project.
This is my code:

1//Process.Start("winaccess.exe", @""+ Application.StartupPath); IS THIS CORRECT?
2           ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
3           startInfo.FileName = "Access.exe";
4           startInfo.Arguments =   @""+Application.StartupPath +"\\sama.accdb";
             //after runtime error : "C:\\Users\\UUT\\Documents\\Visual Studio         2010\\Projects\\SAMA\\SAMA\\bin\\Debug\\sama.accdb"--->but this uncorrect!
5           Process.Start(startInfo);

But I face runtime error in the 5th line:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception' occurred in System.dll<br />
<br />
Additional information: The system cannot find the file specified

The Additional information message clearlry states that the file can't find. check the path properly..

well, you right! i can't how to fix it:
Application.Staruppath get me '\\' instate '\' and this false path
why?

No, this is '\', it is only shown as '\\', in C# escaped syntax, that's all.
Look, find your file, nobody will do it for you...

see application.startuppath will give your bin folder's path where your application exe running. where sama.accdb is present?

Mohammad Sharify 12-Jul-13 2:14am

yes you can do like that but it will not work on different machine as the path will change. use application startup path.

Mohammad Sharify 12-Jul-13 10:07am

ok, i use this code:
string path = Application.StartupPath+"\\sama.accdb";
Process.Start("Access.exe", path);
but i face this error:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception' occurred in System.dll

Additional information: The system cannot find the file specified

Solution 2

try to use it like:

Dim CurrDir As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory

it will store the complete directory path of your application executable file to CurrDir variable.
you can manipulate... :)
