The properties exposed by the My.Application object return data that is associated only with the current application or DLL. No system-level information can be altered with My.Application.
The My.Application object consists of the following classes:
ApplicationBase provides members that are available in all projects.
WindowsFormsApplicationBase provides members available in Windows Forms applications.
ConsoleApplicationBase provides members available in console applications.

The HostProtectionAttribute attribute applied to this type or member has the following Resources property value: Resources. The HostProtectionAttribute does not affect desktop applications (which are typically started by double-clicking an icon, typing a command, or entering a URL in a browser). For more information, see the HostProtectionAttribute class or SQL Server Programming and Host Protection Attributes. |
This example uses the My.Application.CommandLineArgs property to examine the application's command-line arguments. If an argument is found that starts with /input=, the rest of that argument is displayed.
Private Sub ParseCommandLineArgs() Dim inputArgument As String = "/input=" Dim inputName As String = "" For Each s As String In My.Application.CommandLineArgs If s.ToLower.StartsWith(inputArgument) Then inputName = s.Remove(0, inputArgument.Length) End If Next If inputName = "" Then MsgBox("No input name") Else MsgBox("Input name: " & inputName) End If End Sub
