(WCF) --> CMD File --> 3rd Party App - Method - Which Call From Another Application
May 24, 2011
I have a self-hosted WCF service (VB) residing on a server. This service has a method, which I call from another application, that is supposed to kick off a .cmd file which calls a 3rd party program.
My WCF has used both the old Shell() command and the Process() object. Both can call the .cmd file (located on the server's local drive). The .cmd file looks like this:
CODE:
Now I know the .cmd file (saved as Letter.cmd) is firing because when I check the txt file after testing my app, the before/after statements have been written. However, the 3rd party application does not start.
Now the weird part -- if I double click the cmd file from explorer, the test statements are written to the text file AND the 3rd party application kicks off. Runs great.
I've double-checked the application and corresponding files to make sure NETWORK_SERVICE has permissions and my service is running under that account.

I want to access a 3rd Party application in the background with the SendMessage method. It just needs to send a "space" to the software to trigger an action. It is important that this is done in the background because its a periodic event (ca. every 10 seconds), and it should be possible to simultaneously work on the same machine.
I tried to use the same approach which is shown in [URL]
The code I used is as follows:
Const WM_CHAR = &H102
Const BM_CLICK As Long = &HF5&
Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd

I have this method:
Private Sub SetIfNotNull(ByVal input As Object, ByRef destination As Object, ByVal ConversionType As ConversionType)
If input IsNot Nothing AndAlso input <> "" Then
Select Case ConversionType
Case DealerTrackConnection.ConversionType._String
destination = input
[Code] .....
And here is one call in which it fails:
SetIfNotNull(ApplicantElement.Element("suffix").Value, NewApplicant.Suffix, ConversionType._String)
If the element from the XML file is nothing (there is no tag), the method call fails. but I am checking for nothing.

I am adding a web interface (ASPX.NET: VB) to a data acquisition system developed with LabVIEW which outputs raw data files. These raw data files are the binary representation of a LabVIEW cluster (essentially a structure).LabVIEW provides functions to instantiate a class or structure or call a method defined in a .NET DLL file.I plan to create a DLL file containing a structure definition and a class with methods to transfer the structure.When the webpage requests data, it would call a LabVIEW executable with a filename parameter. The LabVIEW code would instantiate the structure,populate the structure from the data file, then call the method to transfer the data back to the website.
How do you recommend I transfer (copy) an instance of a structure from one .NET program to the VB.NET program that executed it?

We have a small VB.net application that basically pulls information from our dBase and then exports this information to an .xls file. From this .xls file, in house agents then manually update a third party listing service (which maintains our current inventory) with the information contained within. The information is very basic, consisting of, for ease of discussion, a 'Part Number', a 'Description' and a 'Quantity On Hand.'
Normally we update this information once a week, but, a newly revised contract with this listing service now requires a daily update to maintain our 'platinum' vendor status.The problem is that it can take quite some time to manually update this information. an automated process is in dire need. And I have finished most of the ground-work and coding - up to a point. Hence the question, and hence where I get stuck.The listing service has provided us with the following WSDL's: One for Increasing our Inventory, one for Decreasing our inventory, one for Adding inventory and one for Removing Inventory.
Up to this point, I have re-programmed a Stored Procedure that was generating the exported information. this SP now does some internal math to figure out if a transaction result occurring on 'yesterday' was an 'Increase', a 'Decrease', an 'Add' or a 'Remove.' These results are then added to a result table under a newly created column named 'SERVICE.' This new information is then pulled from the dBase with vb.net and imported into a Data Table for analysis.
With this Data Table, I can now loop through each row, looking in the column 'SERVICE' and depending on the information contained in that cell, call the appropriate web service.
[Code]...
I realize that this has become quite long winded, mostly because on any given day I have 25 FF tabs open and none of them agreeing with each other. To add another wrinkle; the WSDL's in question use a lot of complex types within complex types with, you guessed it, other complex types entwined.

I want to call vb6 exe file on vb.net application that I am currently working on. The VB6 Application has the login screen and I don't want it to be displayed as the start-up screen. As soon as I call the VB6 appl the program must activate the enter key, so that I cannot put the login credentials manually.
So How do I make my program press the ENTER key?
This is my code for calling the vb6 application </Process.Start("C:\Importing.exe")>

I am writing a small application that will display some info to my end user. I have another program that the end user will have open while running my appplication. What I am trying to do is have my application launch itself (and maintain positioning if other app location changes) and "tether" itself to the other application.Ideally the top left of my application would attach to the top right of the other application.I have tried for countless hours working with the GetWindowPos API but the values returned are either all zeros or it just doesn't work.I do a Try/Catch to see if the other app is running and I fetch the Handle of the process. This works fine. Then I try to get the positioning of this process and set my .Left property to the returned RECT's .Left property. no dice.This is Visual Basic 2005 ExpressOther application is a PuTTY window that is not a fullscreen app.

I am trying to read text from a 3rd party application. I can create a catalogue of all possible letter variations. I can store every possible character I encounter as a small bmp, or perhaps as an array/matrix of pixel values. For example:
xxxxOOxxxx
xxxxOOxxxx
xxxxOOxxxx
xxxxOOxxxx
xxxxOOxxxx
the letter "I" could be represented in a 10x5 array or matrix as above. Where x represents a wildcard pixel value, but O represents the expected/pre-defined RGB value.
I want to search specific areas of the screen, pixel by pixel where I expect to find the information I'm after. And convert this to usable information. What method gives the best trade-off for simplicity and speed? And how can I implement this method? How do I search for a bmp within a bmp at specific coordinates?

I am trying to figure out the right steps to have an installer for my application. My application is dependent on a 3rd party software application and obviously needs to be part of the installtion process. I am able to utilize the features of the 3rd party software via ActiveX control or COM.
1. What options do I have for sucessfully installiing theses softwares?
2. I have noticed there is "Interop.3rdPartyApp.dll" in the "release" folder. How do I use this? Where can I get more details on this file?

I need to be able to run multiple instances of a standalone (3rd party) application. This application prevents multiple instances from being ran from within the application. I need to basically override this.
I know it can be accomplished by hexing the original executable, however I would like to stay away from this method as I'd like for other users to be able to use my application from the get go without needing to hex the 3rd party app themselves or me having to send them the hexed app. Is there any way to achieve this or am I just taking crazy pills?

I am working on automation project for a 3rd party Application. This application has given APIs for various automation tasks (like, Menu automation, toolbar automation, etc)
My code is in VB.NET.
Automation could be made in client-server mode, my code being client, this 3rd party App being server. When I create an instance of 3rd party App ( using CreateObject(<progID>), it brings up its own GUI Framework.
I have my own GUI Framework with customised menu items as well as my some more automation code.
At present, both the GUI frameworks are floating in a dis-jointed and independent manner. I would like to contain the 3rd party GUI Framework within my own GUI framework whenever it is moved around.
