Any VB example of batch printing pdf files from a dos/windows subdirectory (with only Acrobat Reader installed)? I've got a folder full of pdf's (30 or 40) and I need to fire them off to the networked Laserjet. Also, is there a way in VB, to set the "full duplex" (double-sided) printing option for an HP Laserjet (PCL6)?
View 2 RepliesI have been asked to develop a solution which send to the default printer a list of files stored in a directory in file name sequence. These files maybe of any type - such as pdf or Office documents.
I have seen suggestions to using a process class (such as [URL]..However, the process would run largely unmonitored so I have concerns with regards to being able to control the submission of the numerous jobs to the printer and, for example, stopping the print should there be a failureerror in the print queue.

View 6 RepliesWe have a customer, who prints a large number of a batch job to a reporting service. When printing large batches of jobs, occasionally he would get a WebException from reporting services saying "The underlying connection was closed".What is the work around for this? Somebody added this portion in the code [code]It doesn't seem to fix the issue though. The customer still notices the Web Exception when she prints a large job to reporting service.

View 2 RepliesI am busy writing a application that i can set up a list of files to copy from one location to a remote network drive.
THe program has a list of "jobs" in a datagrid that it loops through and executes in sequence. What i have now is a background worker that reports the status of which job it is on (File 1 of 5) but i would like something that shows the status of the current copying file as sometimes large files can look like it's stopped on the network
I am using the System.io.file.copy structure, but have also tried the my.computer.filesystem.copyfile (which shows the status in a "windows" copy box)
So, what i would like is some guidance on how to create a function that will copy the file but also report back progress periodicly. I don't want to read and write byte for byte as im worried this will be too slow.
Also, is there a better way/function to use to copy files? Looking for best speed
I've been developing an application that is basically a GUI for several batch files. You click on a button, and the corresponding batch file will run. I got it working in debug using this code:
Private Sub btnOpenFS_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnOpenFS.Click
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("openfs.bat")
End Sub
Well i figure that if i do a temp. batch file for a small project heres the batch script. IPAddy would = a number xx.xx also how to execute from a button and run as admin at the same time. @echo off netsh interface ipv4 set address "local Area Connection" static 10.IPAddy.2

I have created tool which performs batch processing on files that are selected. The sub routine I have defined in the code, now I want to implement a way through which I can select actions that I want to perform and then perform the actions. For example the list has multiple actions, like Open, Close, SaveAs, Resize, Color Correct etc. I should be able to select what all I want to do on each file and then perform this actions. Someone suggested me using delegates for this, but I cant use that since all my functions have different parameters. Ither option I had is to use a nested IfElse or Switch to determine which action is selected and call function according to it, but thats to heavy I think, is there any optimized a better way to do this.???

I created a custom windows service in Visual Basic using Visual Studios '05.
The service is on our server which is running Windows Server 2003. I have installed the service, and it runs perfectly when I go into Computer Management and Start the service manually.
I have created a batch file to start the service using the NET START command. Whenever I run the batch file, the service doesn't start. I get this message from the command prompt[code]...
I wanted to make mysql dump files using a batch file and an app made through visual studio 2008.How can I incorporate this batch file or call it from vb?There is a code like this in vb.net but its using an absolute address:
Process.Start("C:exeexecute.exe")
How do I modify this so that I could just execute the file without providing the exact address. Or is there any place in the file system(windows 7) where I could just copy the exe file and just call it this way?
I 'm trying to achieve is have 1 button that toggles between 2 batch files start/stop - when pressed the button calls for a batch file to start process - then if pressed again it calls for another batch file to stop the process. But it would be hand to have indicator or text on button stating the status.
View 1 RepliesI have a VB windows application and I need a way to control input output from this windows application to a batch file.The batch script is quite complex so converting to a VB console application is out of the question because it will too much time.An simplified example is this:I have this batch file test.bat(just for example)
@echo off
set /p choice=name : %choice%
echo Hello %choice%!
In this batch file the user input the name which is then stored in a variable and after the user press enter on the screen will appear Hello + user input.
1. Is it possible to enter the name in a textbox from the windows form and by pushing a send button pass the name to the batch application and then the batch file to continue the operation of displaying the Hello message?
2. After the batch file finishes the operations it will open another console windows (3) with status of the various operations that take place on the system(in my case connected users to a server)Is it possible to hide this child console windows that are generated after my main .bat application finished the operations of opening connections?Can this be done from the windows application or I need to modify the .bat script?
3. Is there a way to collect the console windows output in a textbox from the windows application?One idea that came to me was to redirect the console output to a textfile and then read the textfile in the VB application but I want to know if there is another way.
4. Is it possible to hide this batch file inside the windows application exe?

View 2 RepliesI have set up several tasks on a new installation of Windows 7 and they are working as expected.But when I attempted to run a batch file it fails.

View 3 RepliesI'm making a program that takes common applications and installs them silently using batch files. Someone would select the programs they would want to install and my program will write a giant batch file and execute it to install whatever they want. Heres the problem, After the user selects the programs they go into either one or two lists. Non Silent Installer List Or Silent installer list.
Some programs I have simply won't go silently so from there they can choose in what order they want to install these programs. Then there is a combo box that tells weather you want to install non silent programs first or last. From there you hit add to batch file and it would add everything in listbox1 and listbox2 in order. Listbox1 would contain just the text "MalwareBytes" for example. Along with Novell Groupwise and Firefox. How do I get that to add to the Batch List as a code and in order? So the user wants Malware bytes added first to the batch file. How do I add that to my batch list as a completely different code?

It works great for text, Word, RTF, Excel, PDF, etc. However, images load by default with Windows Picture and Fax viewer and then don't print.It looks from the MSDN docs like I should be able to reset the default application assigned to the extensions and then maybe I could find another app that will print properly. And the OS acts like it's doing that. When I double-click on the file it does open with the new app. But when the above sub runs, it reverts back to trying to open with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.
i am trying to print a pdf file.. i have acrobat reader in my pc and i have managed to open the pdf file inside the form i created in VB. When i issue the print command, the print dialog box of acrobat appears.If i input 1-4 in page range of dialog box, it doesn't print pages 1-4. I thnk the information i input at the print dialog box is not forwarded to the printer.

I am using the adobe pdf control in my app to load a pdf file and I call the PrintAll method to print it. I then tried to loop through pdf files by loading and printing each. But it only prints one. It seems not to runi n synchronous mode. It done one and then is done because it did nto have time to load and print the others? Not sure.Does anyone know how to print multiple pdf files? I've already tried many codes I saw for calling the pdf with shellexecute and other ways but it does not work.
