    Hi,

    Could anyone tell me if its possible to launch a exe file from a certain line in a config.ini file?

    eg:
    Code:
    [Name]
    "Explorer"
    [Task]
    "explorer.exe"
    
    (Line 2 would ideally change the buttons name and line 4 would ideally change the buttons task)


    at the moment I'm using the following launch method:

    Code:
    private: System::Void button1_Click(System::Object^  sender, System::EventArgs^  e) 
    			 {
                    System::Diagnostics::Process::Start("explorer.exe}");
                }
    
    But I was hoping to change that to something which would enable me to change which app/folder launches through a config file instead of having to go into VS2010 everytime I need to change the launch file

    Thanx in Advanced! :)

    This. Use a similar method to launch a specified file/process in C# - specify file/location in app.config file and use that as the parameter to launch the process.

    There's potential security implications with this method which you may or may not need to consider.
