Hi there,

how can i dynamically call a published aplication from another application using VB.NET. When you publish an application, the steup will be stored in the client system. and the path can be placed anywhere. How can i dynamically get the path?

Using system REGISTRY i have tried. I know the value of the application but how can i get the key path from the registry by specifying the value????

How can we get the key path of the application by specifying the value dynamically using vb.net. Is there a way of doing this??

any help would be appreciated..

Thanks,

Ratan

Do you mean you have a ClickOnce application deployed via the Publish screen in Visual Studio, and you want to run the program from another application?

To do that, the best thing to do is look on the Start Menu for the shortcut and call *that*.

shortcutName =string.Concat(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Programs),
"\\", PublisherName, "\\", ProductName, ".appref-ms");
process.Start(shortcutName);

where PublisherName and ProductName are those specified in the Options dialog in the Publish tab of the application you want to call.

If it's online-only, you'll have to look on the desktop instead for the shortcut.

desktopPath =string.Concat(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop),
"\\", ProductName , ".appref-ms");
