I am working with a console application for VB 10.
How can I replace data that I have already written with:
Console.Write
Or how can I write on a specific point: e.g. 100 lines, 100 chars left
In the same way that a program such as wget has a loading bar that does not keep getting replaced every time progress is increased.
so I am making a program that will run a server for a game. I've programmed a console into the form and it works but it only works until it is finished reading the slandered output.

I'm writing to console and it seems to work well. I'm using this
AttachConsole(-1)
Console.Out.WriteLine("Hellow world")
FreeConsole()
The question is:
If I run the app's exe file from command line, and try to redirect the output into a file. It doesn't work.For example:C: > myapp.exe > c:output.txt I still get the output to console screen, but I want to to be saved into output.txt What's going wrong ? How to do that?
I have a winform app that is writing to console and it seems to work well. I'm using this code:
AttachConsole(-1)
Console.Out.WriteLine("Hellow world")
FreeConsole()
The question is:If I run the app's exe file from command line, and try to redirect the output into a file. It doesn't work.For example:
C: > myapp.exe > c:output.txt
I still get the output to console screen (c:output.txt file is created but empty), but I want it to to be saved into c:output.txt.
I have Visual Basic 2010, can you tell me how I could simplify this code without using the last IF statement? In other words, have console.beep when form2 comes up, but with out adding the extra line?What would an easier way to write this be? I mean instead of writing the separate if statement for the console.beep?
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If TextBox1.Text = "valentines" And TextBox2.Text = "day" Then Form2.Show() Else MsgBox("That's Not It Theresa!")
If Form2.Focus = True Then Console.Beep()
End Sub
I am writing a GUI frontend for varius console programs and i am in need of assistance... the CHKDSK.exe program is causing trouble.I am using this code:
Private Sub Button4_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click
Dim argstr as string = "F: /V"
Dim p As Process[code].....
This code works for ALL other programs i have tried except chkdsk... i also tried using this loop for reading:
While
p.StandardOutput.EndOfStream = False
RichTextBox6.Text = RichTextBox6.Text & Chr(13) & p.StandardOutput.ReadLine()[code]....
It sounds confusing but it's not really. What I need is basically a way to emulate the console style text, without using a console. What I'm really doing is trying to do a matrix effect on my form background, by drawing symbols and moving them, alternating their colors (see this video for what I mean).
Is there a way to do this effectively with a timer and a draw event, with the timer calling the draw event and changing the intervals?

I'm running into a problem when I stop the debugger, the console window stays open, and I can't kill it via task manager.
I'm having trouble opening and running DOS commands through VB Express.I'm trying to have VB open a command console and enter path to a batch file. So far I have not been able to get VB to open a console and enter any text.[URL} Here is the code I am using right now (without success)
Private Declare Function GetShortPathName Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetShortPathNameA" (ByVal longPath As String, ByVal shortPath As String, ByVal shortBufferSize As Int32) As Int32

Im creating a simple app that has no need for a gui. I need to allow pasting into the console window by any means. Context window like command prompt or just ctrl + v
View 7 RepliesI was thinking of adding a simple bandwidth monitor to a console application and I was wondering if it would be possible to keep a line in the console window visible at all times. I could set something up manually to pass new console output into a method that would get the contents of the console, clear the console, add the bandwidth data on the first row, then rewrite each line of previous information back to the console, etc.. but that seems like a really hacky way to go about it, and I'd be limited to the amount of rows visible at once in the console window (no scrolling).

I am trying to run the following code (which I got from here). The code just creates a new "Output" pane in Visual Studio and writes a few lines to it.
Public Sub WriteToMyNewPane()
Dim win As Window = _
dte.Windows.Item(EnvDTE.Constants.vsWindowKindOutput)
[Code]....
Instead of running it as a Macro, I want to run it as an independent console application that connects to a currently running instance of Visual Studio 2010. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to set the value of dte. I think I may need to call GetActiveObject, but I'm not sure how.
I'm working on a console application that needs to write a line until a certain value is met and than do the same backwards until another value is met.
The line need to be 51 spaces wide, start and end with the pipe ("|") character and have a cross ("X") character in between.
I can only define both the characters once.
The result needs to be something like this:
|X_________X|
|_X_______X_|
|__X_____X__|
|___X___X___|
|____X_X____|
|_____X_____|
And then from the last line on, go back to form a big X on the screen and start over again, going over and over until a key is pressed.
I ran my console app succesfully 30 minutes ago. Added a single line to write a message out to the console, recompiled and now, when it runs, it eats up all the available memory before bombing out with an OutOfMemory exception! I can see the Memory Usage in Task Manager just rocketing up!
What on earth could be wrong? I can reboot the machines I am running this on as they are live servers.
How would I go about modifying the following console application? It calculates resistor color codes and I need it to be able to launch or work directly from a HTML web page. (I'm well aware my calculator can be simplified with case statements and loops, only bother with that if you want to.)
:Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim tens As Integer
Dim ones As Integer

I was wondering if it is possible to play an MP3 file in a console application without using the Windows Media Player control (which is a bit annoying to use and would be more annoying on a console application) or DirectSound (which is not available in VS 2010)?
View 7 RepliesI need to build an forms app that 'posts' or 'sends' text commands to an external console process, called Minecraft Server It is a java-based process, filename 'minecraft_server.jar'. Run by my computer via 'java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui'. The Process ID I assume would change each time it's run. This process can be downloaded here: [URL]
I am guessing that I need to:
1) find the Process ID for it, based on its process details, such as Command Line
2) figure out a way to 'post' these commands, commands such as "stop" into the console window
I cannot have this process launched by my VB project.
i want to rewrite a text file with information already added to it but with my current code it just adds it to the end of the file is there a way to rewrite the entire file with new information.

I'm making a console app that uses your name and then asks for a password and displays the text. So the start is like this
18:36:01 [Info] Program is started.
18:36:01 [Info] Please enter your name.
NAME GOES HERE AND THEN ENTER TO PROCEED
18:36:04 [Info] Hello Xoslize, Please enter the password.
Password Goes Here and then Enter to Proceed
Some Text Goes Here
How do I do that? I mean the enter to type text, etc. Btw, how about using color on every word?
Okay so i want to build an application that "wraps" another, the app that i want it to read console reports stuff like
[WAIT] Preparing world... 10%
and stuff, and it can take commands like
say kick, etc
So basically i want to know if i can read the console output in realtime and input to it as well.

View 3 RepliesI'm writing a piece of software at the moment which will require a form be full screen at all times. However, I am slightly plagued by the fact that my users will have varying screen resolutions. This makes placing controls etc very difficult. Any good techniques / tips to ensure that control layout looks consistent despite the screen resolution when an application is full screen. I'd like to try to avoid having to programmatically re-size and move controls based on screen res as this is a pain in the royal backside.
View 2 Repliescreate a text file then write "0" (zero) to it.It is for a larger project but this is the code that I have been working with:
Public Class Loading
Dim Path As String = "C:NAME.txt"
Private Sub FileCreate()
[code].....
It all seems to work fine until it tries to write "0" to the .txt file. It comes up with an error saying that the process cannot access the file because another process is using the that it just created! I have checked and the only process using it is the one above.
I have some code which writes the variables out to a debugging text file.
Try
Dim LogFileName As String
LogFileName = "log.txt"
objWriter = File.AppendText(DesktopPath & LogFileName)
[code]....
However when I run the code I get a IOException "C:Users***Desktoplog.txt" is in use by another process. the log is not open in notepad or any other program so what other process is using that file?
My app has a series of parameters that is to be stored in an external files. Eventhough the "parameter" file could be edited by the end user, I really don't care that much about what the user does to them.
So my two questions are, what is the most effeicent means of reading and writing a file and in what format should the file be in? When I say effeicent I mean, what utilizes the least amount of memory during the process, is fast, and disposable.
Example: XML, Text, something else. StreamReader / StreamWriter or what ever.
I've set the colour of a label using the ColorDialog and I want to read the chosen colour value into a string, using the following
ColorDialog1.ShowDialog()
label1.ForeColor = ColorDialog1.Color
For example, I have chosen, say, blue as the colour.. How would I read this value into a string, or the hex code for this colour?

I created a VB Console app and it defaulted to .NET 4 but I need it to be .NET 3.5. I've been looking but all the references I find say to change it on the 'Compile' tab in properties but I don't have a compile tab or anything else that lets me change the target framework.
Note: I'm using VS2010 Ultimate
How do I make VB.net console recognize the color red and green at XY-axis? I start up the program. The program check...if X450 and Y503 has a green pixel or something like that...do this. If X450 and Y503 has a red pixel or something lik that...goto line number. You know what I mean? I took the X450 and Y503 as random numbers.
