How can I Pass patameter array list at startup

How can I Pass patameter array list at startup of autocad???

Normally In any general application, 'Main' method accepts array as arguments. Means if any one wants to pass patameters at startup. he can send parameters separated by commas...and on that bases, decisions has taken on application load.

Public Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)
'array list arg()
End Sub

My requirement is same, I want to get some parameters at start-up of autocad...or when initialize() method is fired.

Canany one help me in this issue????

If your .NET application is loaded at start up and implimented
IExtensionApplication, you can read settings in acad.exe.config file or do
similar things.

You can't pass parameters to the entry point, because
the entry point is called by the NETLOAD command or
by the application loader when your application is
registered to automatically load at startup or when one
of its commands is issued.

The puzzling part of your question is that while you say
you want to receive parameters, you don't say where you
want to pass them from, which makes no sense.

You can define LISP functions that can take arguments,
and call them from LISP. You can define commands that
prompt for input, and supply it via a macro or LISP.

Those are your options.

Thanks to reply.
I am calling Autocad exe from vb form by using Shell command.
And my requirement is that when ever autocad is calling from this form having some parameters, Autocad new instance will open, do some work, and automatically close. Now it means that When ever any autocad instance will open, it check weather particular parameter comes or not, if not, then it is its normal running, otherwise the autoclosing scenario will works.......

Got my point??
I can do this by using alternate way that save valuesin text file and read when autocad opens. if values found........., , but it is not good approach.

Is there any proper one??
thanks again to reply.

Why are you starting AutoCAD via Shell, rather than
using ActiveX ?

AutoCAD is an ActiveX server that can be started from
any ActiveX client.
