Question

I am trying to invoke one wpf application from another wpf application.
The invoking wpf application makes the call

ProcessStartInfo BOM = new ProcessStartInfo();

BOM.FileName = @"D:\WPFAPPLICATION.exe";

BOM.Arguments = temp;

Process.Start(BOM);

Now in the invoked application, I try to retrieve the argument passed using

  string arguments =Process.GetCurrentProcess().StartInfo.Arguments;

However the arguments are not passed. why is this??

I also tried an alternative method where in:

    public partial class App : Application
    {
    public static String[] mArgs;

    private void Application_Startup(object sender, StartupEventArgs e)
    {

        if (e.Args.Length > 0)
        {
            mArgs = e.Args;


        }
    }
    }
    }

However this did not work either!!!
Please HELP!!

Well I finally found a solution to my question if anyones interested.
While in the calling application I maintained the same code I previously used:

ProcessStartInfo BOM = new ProcessStartInfo();
BOM.FileName = @"D:\WPFAPPLICATION.exe";
BOM.Arguments = temp;
Process.Start(BOM);

In the called application in order to receive arguments successfully I simply had to :

    System.Text.StringBuilder strbuilder= new System.Text.StringBuilder();


    foreach (String arg in Environment.GetCommandLineArgs())
    {
        strbuilder.AppendLine(arg);
        barcode = arg;
    }
    psnfo = strbuilder.ToString();

I was not handling the arguments passed to the process in the correct manner

so upon displaying psnfo

The code returns :

 D:\WPFAPPLICATION.exe temp
