.net - Updating A Webpage From A Desktop Application?
Aug 20, 2011
've written a desktop application in VB.net which gets data from numerous serial devices and graphs it in a windows form. What I'd like to do enable remote users to view this data remotely from a web browser.
So, is it possible to add a webpage to a desktop application which could be dynamically updated from from my windows app or do I have to rewrite the entire application in asp, flex or silverlight so it can be viewed remotely via a web browser?I'm not familiar with asp flex or silverlight and have only developed desktop apps using vb.net 2010 on win7 and XP.

I need to calculate in hours how much time has elapsed from when a record was created to the current time. The hard part is I need to exclude weekend times from this. I have been working on this for quite a while and I am just lost. Here is what I have so far.

What algorithm in VB.NET would best suit this calculation?

Let's say 10 desktop shortcuts, all with different names/icons, point to and can start the same exe application from the same directory. Is there any means for the application to know the distinct name of the shortcut that was doubled_clicked. Also is there any means for a running application to know if it was started by command line, by a double_click on the exe, by a double_click on a shortcut that points to it, or by another process' call?

Clicked on User's desktop, I created Shortcut to User's desktop, changed the properties Target and Working Folder as 'Application Folder'But it does not connect with MyApplication.exe When I ran the setup and tested Desktop short cut, it took me to the folder where application was installed, instead of running the application.How to make the application run using this shortcut?

Question: I created an ASP.NET web application. Now it originally was meant for deployment on a webserver.That is working, so, so far so good.My question now is: Is it possible to deploy it as a desktop-application, too? That is to say the installer installs some kind of server, plus the web application, configures the server to run this application on a localhost URL, and then creates a link in the start menu/desktop, where it opens that url (website, the application) on localhost in a web browser?
I think it should be possible, though the server wouldn't be IIS, because this is a windows component which can't be separately installed. Is there anything like this already out there The nonplusultra would be that it only starts the server when you click on the shortcut.

I have an application that is written in VB.NET, using the System.Windows.Forms.Form as the front-end GUI. It runs perfectly on my Windows machine however recently there is a business requirement to convert this application to run as a web application so that people could view them in their blackberries when they go to the URL. Is there any quick way to perform such a conversion or I will have to translate the code line-by-line for such cases?

the system is going to have two front-ends - one web application and one desktop application.The desktop application is going to be coded using VB.NET, and the web application in PHP. There's really no reason why the desktop application can't be replaced by a web application as well - except that one of the programmers seem to really want to code it in VB...However none of us have experience working with either of these pairs .
P.S. hosting service will be gotten from some provider and not be on the client's own server.

way to do the following in VB 2005:
I need to access, but not display, a web page out of a VB 2005 program. The web page would be an aspx page with a query string as part of the url - with the url using values acquired thru the program - e.g. www.mysite.com?arg1=this&arg2=that
So the aspx page would produce an html output with values I need placed in specific elements. I want to read that page from my app and do stuff with the resulting values.

I am creating a desktop application that uses a SQL database to store information about different movies. Instead of having to type in the information I want (Barcode code, DVD ID, Title etc.), I want to use a web service. However, I don't know any web services like this and I am new to trying to implement them. Can anyone suggest a good one and briefly tell me how to implement it into my app?

I have created a little application to move some files around and put them into a database. This is working well except that the application needs a timeout. If my app has not completed the task within 2 hours it re opens and locks out everything. I need to say that if my application has been open for 2 hours close it. One thought was can you set a time out in an application.

I have a desktop application which reads files from a specified folder, then deposits the files to a folder in a third party document management system based on criteria that the user provides.
is it possible to somehow provide different parameters to the code, depending on which shortcut of the application the user clicked on to start it up?
