How to Execute VB Application ?

[Ravi]

Hi All

I have written a VB application (X.Exe/X.Dll).

This application will be in "C:\MyApp" folder. This application will
accept y.txt as input and generate y.xml.

I have another application, which will create y.txt file in "C:\MyApp"
folder. If y.txt alreday there, then it will delete the file and create
new y.txt. (Note: This application is not developed in VB. Y.txt file may

be created at any point of time)

Whenever the y.txt file created, my VB application (i.e. x.EXE/x.DLL) has

to execute.

Does any one knows how to execute the application ?


Thanks in Advance.

Regards,
Ravi

I am sorry, I can use shell command to execute the application. But the application
has to execute automatically, whenever the input xml file created or modified.
I got some information. Please check "http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/code/fileapi/watchedfolder.htm"

There are various means to respond to actions like the one you generate.

One is creating an NT Service that on regular intervals runs a VB Application
that polls to see what happens.

To deal with NT Services you can use AT/WinAT or you can purchase a scheduler
(top notch ones cost about 20-30$) that can run as an NT Service.
