    Shelling... the 'system' command and 'Ping'

    I have the problem that shelling in vb.net is not working for me at this
    point.

    I am trying to make a graphical application to netsend (multiple) PCs on
    the network(notwork ) and to ping to check if they are online or not.

    code like:
    shell("ping bob >> ""C:\hello.txt" "",windowstate. hidden[or whatever],
    false)

    does not work... nor does:
    shell("ping bob >> C:\hello.txt",w indowstate.hidd en[or whatever], false)

    wheras that is a perfectly acceptable string to feed the command
    prompt...

    I have a C++ class tht runs the C 'system' command on that string, which
    works perfectly, but then i can't supress the console window, which
    raises its ugliness in an unacceptable manner.

    any help?

      Try using the Process.Start method to start ping and then you redirect the
      output stream to a file.
