Check For DLL On Console Application Load?
Aug 26, 2009
I have a simple console application which consists of a single executable and a DLL file. My project has a reference to the DLL. My question is how do I ensure the DLL is present in the same directory and prevent the console app from crashing? Although in reality the two files will probably never be separated, I want to make sure someone can diagnose the error without me there.
At first I tried adding File.Exists(PathToDLL) at the beginning of Sub Main(). If the file wasn't found, I was going to display a message and quit the application. But apparently if the DLL is referenced at any point in the code, a System.IO.FileNotFoundException is thrown regardless if the line is executed.
Is there some way to handle this in the executable itself without creating another executable to load that one?

I want to load a dictionary at startup in my console app from my app.config. I know that I could use an xml library or linq to XML to load it to parse and traverse it. My question is there a BUILT IN way of doing it. Isn't there some way to add an application configuration section into the app.config and then have it loaded automagically using ConfigurationManager class in the System.Configuration namespace?

I have a console application, and its supposed to check if you type a certain thing, then it does it.
My code is:
Console.WriteLine("Please enter a command.")
If Console.ReadLine = "time" Then
Console.WriteLine(My.Computer.Clock.LocalTime)

Vb is not my language of choice , but I have to do this for school and I'm not having a very easy time with VB's documentation.I'm just creating a very simple console application that accepts user input: degrees in Celsius, and converts it into Fahrenheit. I want to make sure that if the user just hits enter without entering the degrees in Celsius, then an if else statement will catch and write to enter Celsius again.Here's what I've tried:

I have a console application I'm using to run scheduled jobs through windows scheduler. All the communication to/from the application is in email, event logging, database logs. Is there any way I can suppress the console window from coming up?

I am currently working on an application, where I am using a console application, that will set up the application prior to the main form is run. This is no problem I've got that all working perfectly, the only problem I have is that the console is showing while the application is running, I was wondering whether anyone knows any way in which I would be able to hide the console before it gets shown to the user.

How do I get the console from closing immediatley upon opening in a Console Application program? I have all of the code written but when I run the program it pops up the console window and then immediatley exits so I am unable to read what is in the window to see if my program is operating correctly. This is the first time I've ever used a console window so I don't know where in the code I would need to put "whatever it is" I might need to put to keep the window open until closed by the user.

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 want it to check for my DLL in the same directory. If it's not there, the application should exit gracefully.I thought this code would work but it still crashes without the DLL. Although it will not crash if I comment out everything after the IF statement.
Imports MyDLL.Test
Module Module1
Sub Main()

detect whether the current application is a console or a winforms application.The reason that I want to do this is that I am developing a library with a global error handler in it and I need to know what type of application it is in order to be able to subscribe to the appropriate exception event.Obviously I could get the user to pass in a parameter specifying what type of application it is, but I would rather deal with that automatically so its all encapsulated from the user of the class.

We currently have +- 20 different console application developed in VS2008 and running at different scheduled intervals, all controlled by Windows schedular. The problem we have come accross is that it is becoming increasingly difficult to manage and maintain these console apps. In some instances a console app will just fail or never run to start with and this creates a lot of problems. In many cases one console app is dependant on another and if 1st one fails well...you see where this is going.
I am looking for a new solution that will help us to trace, debug and manage these console apps better. We are preferably looking for a gui front end, maybe windows app where we can set the intervals for them to sun and view some error reports if they did not run.We are port all the code for the console apps to which ever new appliocation we develop.

I am maintaining some VB.net code and I am more of a C# programmer. I have taken over maintaining several projects from people who have since left the project. The manager tells me that some of the VB.net programs are console applications. Yet in looking through the source code I am not able to distinguish wether the code is for a console application or for some other VB.net program like a VB.net windows application. Can someone tell me if there is a way to determine if a VB.net program is a console application.

When I call a different sub from the main sub in my console application, I have to type in the word twice for it to go to the sub. But I have noticed that it only does that when I have it to be recognized at the second instance (I think I used that right). What I mean by that is this.
Sub Main()
if console.readline = "Test1"
call _Exit_()
[Code].....
If I type Test1, it will call the _Exit_ no problem. But if I call _New_, I have to type it in twice.
I also tried putting them both into if statements instead of elseif.
I have also change the order of the calls, this is where it get interesting to me. If I were to change the call from "Test1" to _New_ ()(So, instead of calling _Exit_(), it will call _New_()) If I do this, then the _New_() will work no problem
and I don't have to type it in twice, but I do for the _Exit_() now.

I have a console application and i want to run some code but at the same time I want to have the ability at any given time to press CTRL + SHIFT + S to stop it,
Now I tried doing something basic like this which would stop if you press X at any given time:
Dim stTest as string
Do Until stTest = "X"
stTest = console.ReadLine
console.WriteLine("you didn't press X yet...")
The problem is that every time before it writes that line it will wait for the user input because i have "Console.ReadLine" on there, I don't want that to happen, I want it to keep going until a set of keys are pressed.
