Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property Command As String
public string Command {get; set;}
Remarks

The Command property, along with the Parameters property, is used to start a new process when either the Invoke method is called or when the start time of the Appointment is reached if the AppointmentAction is enabled. The command may be the file name of an executable or a file name with an extension that has an application association on the target machine.

Example
This example creates a new Appointment object, and adds it to the component's Appointments collection. It also sets a Reminder and an AppointmentAction for the Appointment.
