passing variables from vfp to vb.net

[jpower69]

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this

if not, please point me in the right direction

I am creating small vb.net application that will ping a sql server

I am using calling the vb.net exe from a vfp program using shellexecute
the structure of the shellexecute is as follows;
DECLARE INTEGER ShellExecute IN shell32.DLL ;
INTEGER hndWin, ;
STRING cAction, ;
STRING cFileName, ;
STRING cParams, ;
STRING cDir, ;
INTEGER nShowWin
**
in_params = 'GTSSQLTRECS01',, passing this value
cAction = "open"
cFileName = "c:\temp\ping_servers.exe" << name of my vb.bnet exe
cParams = In_Params
cPath = ""

what I am interested in is the value of the field cparams--i will be passing different values for example if the first sqerver is not available
i'll be passing a second.
in my Vb.net, how/where do i set up the program to accept the value being passed??

this is my statement mRtn = ShellExecute(0,cAction,cFileName,cParams,cPath,1)

any comments/suggestions greatly appreicated

Thanks in advance

I found out the I can use the Environment.GetCommandLineArgs(1) to retrieve the value that I am passing from shellexecute() routine in vfp

thanks again
