[2008] Check If Outlook Is Already Running
Feb 17, 2010
I am currently using the code below to open outlook automatically.
Dim psInfo As New System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo("OUTLOOK.EXE")
psInfo.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Maximized
Dim myProcess As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(psInfo)
However, this simply opens a new instance regardless of whether it is already open or not. I'd like to check if there is an existing instance, and if so don't open outlook.

I need to check if a certain process is NOT running. So until now i've been using a loop and if it doesn't find the process then it alerts me (with MsgBox) however now i realized that the for each loops looks on each process and if that process isn't the one im looking for its gonna give me an alert, that it was not running even when the next process could be the one i need to know about.

I work for a somewhat large company.There are about 160 Windows XP Pro users. We are still using Microsoft Office 2000 for the most part.We have upgraded some users to Office 2003. We are not using Microsoft Exchange.I have to export every users' Outlook 2000 or Outlook 2003 Contacts into an Excel or CSV file every 6 months as a way of backing the Outlook Address Contacts.Currently I am doing this by physically going to every pc and manually exporting the contacts.This is a large pain.I am trying to find out if I can use or create a Visual Basic 2008 Express program or script that will export the contacts from Outlook and save it as an Excel or CSV file.The name of the file should be the same as the computers net name.It should be saved in the same location, on the network, each time.I am new to programming and new to VB 2008 Express.I do not know or have any code to start with.

I'm working on an application that takes certain outlook email messages, saved as text files, and loads data from them into a database. It would be better if I could read the messages from the inbox directly into my app without the user having to save them as text files. I've searched the web and every example I find is from 2003 or earlier and is using VB6. I'd like to read both Outlook and Outlook Express Inboxes. Can someone either provide me with the code to do this or a good "recent" link with a tutorial?

I have an application, running multiple threads, and in many of these threads, Outlook is being called, some mails read, attachments downloaded, and then the outlook instance closed. But it is possible that there are a number of threads trying to do the same thing at the same time. There is of course a lock at the beginning and end of the process, so that no two threads try to access the outlook application at the same time.
"Sometimes" i get an error message : Creating an instance of the COM component with CLSID {0006F03A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} from the IClassFactory failed due to the following error: 80010108

I am working on a tool that will better manage the server applications I run on my server. I have a working version of what I need written in VB6, I've tried converting the code from vb6 to .net with no luck. Basically I have a few server applications I would like to display the status of, if they're running or not. Then with a few buttons to start/stop the application accordingly. I've found a few different code snippets across the web which I've tried to implement in to my project with no luck.

I have an application that provides core services for a series of other applications.When another of these applications is started, I want to check that the service application is running and if not shutdown.What is the best method to check for the existence of the other app? I'm thinking that I should be using a global mutex in the services app and checking for it's existence in the other apps. Is this the correct way to proceed?

Although I signed up a year ago I didnt have enough free time to carry on programming, but have now made some time.
I have spent the past 2 hours trying to look for a code for visual basic 2008 that will check if a program is running.
It would be really helpful if someone wrote the whole code out and made it clear exactly where I put them name of the .exe file

I am creating a program that will check if a program is running, by checking its window title (NOT THE FILENAME, ITS WINDOW TITLE) and seeing if it is currently running.
So far I was only able to check if the program was running by its filename

I'm making a program in VB to check if a certain program is running, and if not, to start it up, because I'm hardly ever at my computer and sometimes the program that is being checked for existence tends to close down often, so I need something that will check for the existence of the program in question, and start it if it's not running

I have a program that 10-20 people use throughout the day. Because things are rapidly fluctuating I occasionally have to take the database offline, or restart the server for other reasons. I'd like to have a better way to make sure no one is currently in the program than walking to each person and asking them.
I don't want to re-invent the wheel if something like this already exists.
The thoughts I had were:
Create a database "history" entry each time users open or close the program to see who is currently using the system. Use WCF to have the clients "tell" the server that they are connected every X seconds.

I'm running into an issue with my application. If the laptop is just turned on and a user opens the application, the application attempts to hit a SQL server to do some work. The issue is that sometimes the SQL Server process hasn't started yet (slow laptop).
What is the preferred method for checking if this is running.
Do I check for it like a normal process?
Do I attempt to make a connection via ADO.NET and catch the error?

I have multiple textboxes that are saved using my settings and buttons to add them to the clipboard.
The problem is when the textbox is blank and I click on the copy button.
The saving to my.settings happens on close so when someone enters text that they plan on saving later and then clicks the copy button, whammo it crashes.
Here is the code that is failing and I need to check to make sure that there is a value before setting the text on the windows clipboard.[code]...

I need to check on several services to see if they're running on several servers. I would like the program to tell me if a specific service is or is not running and if it is to reply with a msg stating which service is running, same if it is not running.
this is what i have so far:
Private Sub CheckServiceButton_Click_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CheckServiceButton.Click
' This will check if the service is running '
