Trying to read target info from shortcut to vb.net 2005 app

by cwarley . Updated 19 years, 2 months ago

Ok here is my problem I once had a program that was written in VB6 and what it did was when you ran a shortcut to this app it would launch the app and read the target info from the shortcut and update an app based on that info. example

target: “c:\test\updater.exe c:\app.exe”

and what this would do is run Updater then it would look at C:\app.exe and copy it to the temp drive.

i am trying to figure out how to read the target info from the shortcut with vb.NET 2005. I can do everthing else with ease but trying to read the target info is just not working. PLEASE HELP.
