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?
How do I add/remove application shortcuts from the Startup folder or Desktop?

View 4 RepliesIn a VB.NET Winforms application, I have a form that contains both a datagridview and a textbox. I have some menu item entries that have shortcuts of Ctrl + X, Ctrl + C, and Ctrl + V that operate on the datagridview. However, these override the default cut, copy, and paste shortcuts for the textbox. How can I make the menu shortcuts only apply when the datagridview has focus?

View 1 RepliesI've written a very simple form application that launches a bunch of shortcuts. There's one particular one I want to launch, but it's got a lot of switches with special characters. I can't figure out how to make the switches/arguments into a string so that VB2010 will pass it to the executible cleanly.. Here's what I did, I'm sure it's laughable, but I guess everyone starts somewhere:
Private Sub Button11_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button11.Click
Dim MyString As String = ","/CitrixShortcut: (1) /QLaunch "CHCFarm:Citrix Console""
Process.Start("C:Program FilesCitrixICA Clientpnagent.exe",MyString)
End Sub
I have an Unmanaged Lib compiled for Windows Ce. I am trying to call this dll from VB.net Full Framework .Net 4 Client Profile Windows application.

It compiles without errors and runs but when Invoking a function I get error ex = {"An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)"} Is it possible to use the Mobile Unmanaged Dll on the Desktop ? Here is the Wrapper code I use to call the Dll:
Imports System

Im planning to create a Remote Desktop Application and I'm having problem with viewing other computers monitor or screen.
Im not asking for the code on how to do it. and one more thing is it safe to use winsock in creating a client/server application?
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?

View 1 RepliesQuestion: 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?
View 1 Repliesthe 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.

View 4 RepliesI 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?
