I have created a control and have some code in constructor. This code should only run when application is running, but it also runs when i load form. Can I have some check if application is running or not?Faisal Saleem (Software Engineer)
I have an application that provides core services for a series of other applications.When another of these applications is started, I want to check that the service application is running and if not shutdown.What is the best method to check for the existence of the other app? I'm thinking that I should be using a global mutex in the services app and checking for it's existence in the other apps. Is this the correct way to proceed?
I want to be able to test if an Excel application is already running on the computer. If it is, I want to use it to create and save a new file. Excel will remain open.If no Excel application is running, I will open Excel, create and save a new file, and then close Excel.
How can I check if an application is running, and then kill it?I REALLY need it urgently because some random antivirus program attacked me, and it doesn't let me do ANYTHING! So I am planning to put the program on startup and kill it when it starts running.
How to check if my application is already running? So I can prevent it from starting twice.For example:My application is already running, the user is trying to run it again, a MsgBox shows and says that this application is already running.
I made a simple "restarter" app... However, I need to close multiple instances of an application. For example, if I have three windows of paint, or three windows of Word open, how do I check if it is still open before I open a new instance?
My desktop application is developed in VB.Net and can be run through two types of users, one who install it on their local machine and execute locally.
Second type of users will run the application remotely from the server.i.e. Application will install on the server and user will execute that application from client side. Server can be a Citrix Meta Frame or any server accessed through Remote Desktop Connection. I want to maintain single exe for both types of users.
Is there any mechanism/way through which I can come to know programmatically whether application is running locally or remotely?

I'm using a BackgroundWorker to perform some analysis on a separate thread. The BackgroundWorker is called when a user clicks a CheckBox.
I need to provide for the user clicking the CheckBox, starting the BackgroundWorker task, and then changing their mind and clicking the CheckBox again.I simply want to cancel the currently running task and set the analysis off again. Currently I have the following method:
Public Sub UpdateParkStatusAsync() Try 'Debug output. Console.WriteLine("UC_Map_ViewModel.UpdateParkStatus called.")

I have GridView in Application where I have my CPUserID. There can be thousands records in GridView with different CPUserIDs.
Now I have a button "Allocate Token". But before allocating the token I want to check in my Token Table that if that CPUserID has already exists in table it should not allow user to allocate token and will return some message for that user.
For Each curRow As GridViewRow In GridView1.Rows Dim cpuserid As Label = CType(curRow.Cells(1).FindControl("lblCPUserID"), Label) Next
I am working for application register form and I would like to know when the user opens the register form I need to check if the current date is true or not and when the user tries to change the system date he should pop up message.So I would like to refresh the form for every second and find whether he has changed the date or not. How do I do that?
Here is my code:
btnRegister.Enabled = False Dim oReg As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey oReg = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("Software", True)
I would need a function that would check the current date and in the end return the date of Monday this week. So say we have 02/06/10 today so I'd like that date or rather week_starting function to show 01/06/10 for the whole week. The formatting isn't important.
I'm developing a web application that requires the user to log in using forms authentication. inside the webpage you need to download a desktop application that requires to login to the same system too. Is there a way to transfer the current logged credentials from the web application to the windows desktop application without need to login again?. Both applications shares a Login object from an vb.net interface.I tried to save the IP address in the Database but that don't work for me because the website needs to be accessed inside and/or outside of the company and the user cannot login twice in different machines.

How can I write a loop to run for each day in the current month and then check to see if the Dataset has a record that matches one of those days and take an action?
For Day As Integer = 1 To DaysInTheMonth For Each row In MyRows If row.Date.Day = Day Then[code]....
This generates too many rows in the table I have it building. Basically, every day gets as many rows as there are that contain data.I'm building a HTML table that gets mapped into a chart using jquery so I need a for everyday of the month.
I've been looking around for a way to check if the current user has Administrator rights but the information seems to be quite disperse and not exactly
If DateTimePicker1.Value.Year <= DateTimePicker2.Value.Year Then 'dtp2 = expiry date If DateTimePicker1.Value.Month <= DateTimePicker2.Value.Month Then MsgBox("Expiry Date Correct!") Else MsgBox("Expiry Date incorrect!") End If End If
How would I get it to check the date? Datetimepicker1 is the current date, while Datetimepicker2 is the expiry date.
I am working on a tool that will better manage the server applications I run on my server. I have a working version of what I need written in VB6, I've tried converting the code from vb6 to .net with no luck. Basically I have a few server applications I would like to display the status of, if they're running or not. Then with a few buttons to start/stop the application accordingly. I've found a few different code snippets across the web which I've tried to implement in to my project with no luck.
