Create and write to file > start application > delete file in VB.NET -

i'm trying create vb.net application writes multiple lines of text text file, starts application , after application started, deletes text file.

how can realize that?

edit:

i got code:

    dim inifile string = application.startuppath + "\settings.ini"      if system.io.file.exists(inifile) = true         file.delete(inifile)     end if      if system.io.file.exists(inifile) = false         file.create(inifile)     end if      dim filestr string() = {"line1", "line2", "line3"}     file.writealllines(inifile, filestr)      dim p process = process.start(application.startuppath + "\app.exe")     p.waitforinputidle()      if system.io.file.exists(inifile) = true         file.delete(inifile)     end if 

the problem got, vs telling me, file in use. between creating , editing file. ideas that?

your code starting app , moving straight on delete ini file.

you need wait process exit first before continue deleting ini file

e.g

{code create ini file}  'start process. dim p process = process.start(application.startuppath + "\app.exe") 'wait process window complete loading. p.waitforinputidle() 'wait process exit. p.waitforexit()  {code delete ini file}
