How to call the .net windows service from VB application
I have only the executable for VB application. Through the exe , I am able to view the .Net service, but it does not allow to install the .net services.
As my latest questions have stated, i am in a process of researching on Silverlight 3 and its application as a suitable RIA solution to a pre-built project a client of ours wishes to webify. And my experience in .Net and silverlight is about 3 - 4 weeks.I have now become aware of .Net RIA Services. I require to use an existing VB class; which was created as a quick wrapper class to emulate a small piece of the client's application code. This is used as a proof of concept. It contains one function which uses the client's DLL files to return a simple data type This class has already been used successfully with Flex/Weborb combination.I unfortunately do not have enough knowledge or experience in Silverlight/RIA Services to grasp what it is i have to do to get the file working. All the examples I find online only specify the method where you use a database as dataSource etc.Could you please inform me how i would go about implementing RIA Services with Silverlight 3, using existing code/classes with no DB? Or could you point me in a direction for further research on the matter?
View 1 RepliesI am building a series of web services in VB.Each of the web services takes multiple string values, performs some validation/processing then calls a Stored Procedure using Linq to SQL. Some of the string contains user data that is stored in the database:These string values passed from the web service are escaped to trap single quote characters, semi colons and the various bracket types. I am calling the SP using the datacontext.spname(parameter1, parameter2) method.
View 3 RepliesWe are trying to add SQL Reporting Services to a .Net 2.0 Web Application. SRS has been installed on the server successfully, but we get an error when we try to load a report or access the report manager:
Server Error in '/Reports' Application.Configuration Error Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately. Parser Error Message: Could not load file or assembly 'netGmrc' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
The error is being coming from a line in the web.config where an httpHandler called Upload.axc is being added to the web application. The entire httpHandler section is listed below.
<httpHandlers>
<add verb="*" path="Upload.axd" type="netGmrc.Upload, netGmrc"/>
<remove verb="*" path="*.asmx"/>
[code]....
When we remove the Upload.axd handler from Web.Config, everything in SRS works fine. What is the proper way to have Reporting Services work along side the web application with this httphandler?
I am new in programming. Have a some knowledge in scripting. me in sample coding using VB 2008. - Create an application that will run on system start up and still run even if user's Log off. - The application will read a list file that contains other application names (e.g notepad.exe) then the application will continue running.. if notepad runs then it will log to a text file the time started the execution and after it was quit it also log the application ended time of execution. - Like its running as services.

I'm a relatively seasoned VB (COM) vet but this is my first VB.Net application and as is my luck a web services application feeding off a site that I can't publicly mention nor can I post any code that may expose the site.
So, here's the problem. I have written a simple form and have 2 buttons. 1 button simply asks the webservice for it's version. This works no problem. I was able to load the web reference using their supplied WSDL file for this "version" class. Now that I have that working I think "GREAT, that was straight forward. I have my credentials, urls, etc working, the rest of this should be just as straight forward." (See where I jinxed myself here?)
Anyway, I move onto the next WSDL and set of classes and get that reference added no problem. (Man that took a LONG time, like 20 minutes.) I then build my "Get my order data" code syntaxes on the prescribed exposed classes and run my project just to see what errors I get. The "run" process takes almost 45 minutes to an hour..... It's as if the app is getting the WSDL set all over again but doing it over and over..... I have no clue what's going on.
I've tried to disable all the Windows 7 "potential" issues, UAC, firewall, etc, but these changes don't help. Anti virus, spyware, etc all these are off and no difference. I'm running VS2008 as an Admin, right click "run as admin", and have complete control over this machine. Any ideas, suggestions, etc are VERY welcome and I am happy to expose as much of this application as I can providing I can stay with in the rules of the confidentiality contract.
I am a new member here and a new user of VB.Net.So, I would like to know how to make an application that can control the processes and the services in a remote machine.

I am trying to create an msi install for my windows service. The reason for creating an msi is that the intended users want to be able to quickly install the service with as-little intervention as possible.
i can get the service to install as a msi but i have a variable within my code that i need the user to define when the msi is being installed. the variable i require from the user is the file path which they want the xml files my service creates to be located.
i thought i could configure the app.config application settings to contain the file path that the xml files should be written to. However i'm struggling to do this and im not to sure if its the best way to do it?
I have my setup project that contains my executable and has my textbox which will contain the one variable from the user.I have an installer class which contains my serviceinstaller and process installer.

I have a windows forms application written in VB.NET which scrapes information from serveral web pages (who doesn't right)? Anyway, I am having problem with one particular site where partway through the page navigation my application hangs. When I press pause (or break) in the debugger, it stops on a call to System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents.
Resuming execution shows that it really is stuck on this line (it does not reach the next line of code). It also hangs about the same point each time I run it (at least its consistent). Since System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents yields to other threads on the same processor and then resumes execution of the current thread, I think the problem is that some other thread is not behaving well (not returning from some event handling code). I thought Windows 7 was pre-emptive, which makes me
doubt that theory but I really don't know.
[Code]...
The program scrapes somewhere between 12 and 14 pages before it gets stuck on the call to DoEvents. Does anyone have a clue why this would happen? Why would any call to DoEvents hang?

View 2 RepliesI'm going to make a Skype application using Visual Basic, I use them "Skype4COM.
Below is a link on the page somewhere in the middle Skype4COM. It is the DLL that I use.
But my question is, how can I in my application that I call you? Not that you're on the phone but if someone phoned you before you've pressed record.
We have a client who has asked us to write a GUI that is capable of connecting to an existing, running application. This specific application has quite extensive .NET and ActiveX hooks in it, but it's a third-party application and we do not have access to the source code. The client has specified VB 2008, despite the fact that the target application has perfectly good GUI creation tools itself.
I can successfully start a separate instance of the target application, but that is not what the client wants. The idea is that the user would start this application, open a specific file with it and then start the GUI which would take control.
I have searched a number of locations (including 18 pages so far of this forum) to try to find help on this sort of thing, but the success is slow coming. One code snippet enabled me to find the running process, which may help me to connect. I am also browsing CodeProject to try to wind useful information on this.
I have recently released a free application for some game and now I have added a few features 'the public' requested.
I used Inno Setup to create the installer, which works just fine.
Now however, instead of having the ask the user to uninstall the current version, and then reinstall my new version, I want to be able to give the user an Update install exe which they can simply run and it will update the existing application.
One thing I would like is that the users Settings are not changed. So hence the following questions: 1. Where are the Settings stored? I thought it was in the user's Local Settings <Application Name> directory, but I cannot find my application there... I cannot find it in the All Users or Administrator 'accounts' directories either...
2. Are the Settings stored depending on the Version of your application? (Assembly Version / File Version)?
If 2. is true, then obviously changing the Application Version (which is logical in an Updated executable, no?) would also change the Settings back to default..? Can I avoid that?
Finally, is it enough to simply overwrite the executable? What registry 'work' do I need to do, or can Inno Setup do that for me? I am only using one other file which is the SharpZipLib DLL file.
