I want to copy a file but I do not what to copy it if it is being written to so, I want to see if a file is in use. I have tried 2 different code snippets
1) This one works if my file is open with MSWord (anything that creates a temp file while writing to it.[code]...
When user clicks on the button, it will ask him to choose a specific file. It checks the MD5 to know if this is the right file.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI want to be able to double click a custom file that contains text and it pulls up my program and adds the text in the richtextbox.
Basicly I created a file extention called .pwt but I can't get it to load the text stored in it on the richtextbox.
im slightly new to VB, i was wondering how I make the program check a file for an update, i kknow there is an option in the app settings, but when I go on it it doesnt recognize .vb or .exe files to check from.
If i uploaded updates to a server, how would It check that for updates? and what file type would i need to upload it as?
I was wondering if it would be possible to check the file size of a .exe on a website and see if it's greater than or less than the program running it?

Our program will start with the help of a FileSystemWatcher object. How can we check or the file is total copied, for example the file is 100 Mbyte it take a time it's ready for use. Idea:
Do While True
Try
N = testForUse(BigFile)
If N = 1 Then Exit Do

View 3 RepliesHere is, basically, how my application works:
When windows starts, my app starts. Whenever my app is running, it hides the desktop, taskbar, etc... When a button is clicked in my application ("Start program"), then my application will set its visible property at false and another application will start.
Everything seems to work perfect except I need a way for my application to set its visible property back to true, but only once the other application that was started earlier, is closed (no longer running.)
My thought was that I could use a timer to check for the applications state every so many seconds:[code...]
I have 2 concerns with this:
1. A timer checking this every few seconds will invoke unneeded stress on a computer since they are running for sometimes very long periods of time.
2. There is a better way to accomplish this that doesnt rely on a timer.
Although I signed up a year ago I didnt have enough free time to carry on programming, but have now made some time.
I have spent the past 2 hours trying to look for a code for visual basic 2008 that will check if a program is running.
It would be really helpful if someone wrote the whole code out and made it clear exactly where I put them name of the .exe file
I am creating a program that will check if a program is running, by checking its window title (NOT THE FILENAME, ITS WINDOW TITLE) and seeing if it is currently running.
So far I was only able to check if the program was running by its filename

I'm making a program in VB to check if a certain program is running, and if not, to start it up, because I'm hardly ever at my computer and sometimes the program that is being checked for existence tends to close down often, so I need something that will check for the existence of the program in question, and start it if it's not running
View 4 RepliesI have a program that 10-20 people use throughout the day. Because things are rapidly fluctuating I occasionally have to take the database offline, or restart the server for other reasons. I'd like to have a better way to make sure no one is currently in the program than walking to each person and asking them.
I don't want to re-invent the wheel if something like this already exists.
The thoughts I had were:
Create a database "history" entry each time users open or close the program to see who is currently using the system. Use WCF to have the clients "tell" the server that they are connected every X seconds.
I don't like to build myprogram to a click-onceapplication becauseI lose the .exe and I don't know how to edit it after building it. So unless someone this, here is my main question:I was thinking about updating a .txt file that have uploaded somewhere that has the current available version. Can I use streamreader for an online file? And if so, if the available version is updated, how can I edit the code and everything to updatethe file?
View 14 RepliesI'm using VB.Net 2005 Pro and want to be able to check if a particular program is installed. I've seen lots of ideas about checking files in the program files folder or scanning the registry for keywords but none of these seem particularly foolproof. Is there a way to get a definitive answer to if an app is installed?
View 2 RepliesAs most programers will want after spending a long time on a program is to implement program updates, so have i.
What i want is a nice simple way of doing the following check if file exists as "www.mydomain.com/program/install.exe" if true, download and launch install.exe on completion, un intstall current vertion ( if possible )
I'm working on a status monitoring program for my company and we need to be able to know if a process on a remote machine is hanging due to not responding (that I can do) or if it's thrown an unhandled exception. I've tried a number of things from checking the CPU usage of the process to checking if the process has gone idle. Nothing has really been reliable. Is there anyway to do this? All the programs we'll be monitoring are running on either .NET 3.5 or 4.0.
View 4 RepliesI'm launching an Access ADE, using Tony Toews auto FE program. The AutoFE programs will, if newer version available, copy the latest version of the ADE from the server, then launch it. My code looks like:
Dim stAutoFE As String = "V:Appsautofestartmdb.exe /cmd /inifile: " & """" & "V:AppsAutoFESSP.ini" & """"
Shell(stAutoFE, AppWinStyle.Hide, True)
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000) ' Time delay
[code]....
I had to put the Sleep delay in, otherwise the GetObject would open the ADE a second time.But I don't know how long the copy from the server will take, so I need to remove that Sleep line and check that the ADE has opened.
I have a groupbox with 12 checkboxes(containing months of the year). I need to calculate and display the value in a text box.
For example if one check box is checked then on clicking the button calculate, it should be able to display the value 500 in the text box, if two checkboxes is checked then the total should be 1000, if three check boxes then total should be 1500 and so on[code]...

What I'm trying to do is have a timer stop ticking after another program is x'd out. (Not really 'closed', but whenever the X button has been clicked). I know it would be an If statement, but i'm not sure how i'd go about implementing it from there.

Im trying to make a fast food program on which the user will input the amount that he has, then he will click on what he wants, by using check boxes. There are 7 different check boxes with 7 different amounts of money. I got an idea on what to do (they will check on what they want and the program will add up the total and there is only one of each item), but im confused on how to put the amount on where the check boxes (in the program area and not the text area) and add them together. After that all I need to do is add everything up, with sales tax, and tell the user if he has enough money or not. But what im confused on is how do I get the check boxes to a amount of money and add them up (all the ones hes checked) I just dont know how to code this part of the program, once I get one done all I have to do is the same for each one, and everything showed be easy after that. But how do I put an amount on a check box and add them all up?
View 5 RepliesI am using a check box tied to a program settings. When I am in form designer my check box property is "unchecked", however, when I debug my program the checkbox is checked.
My value for my settings is set to false and my property setting is also false.
In Vb.net, I want to make a program which checks and unchecks a checkbox in another program with just a hotkey (X for example).
I also already downloaded spyxx to get the class.
I need my program to check if a program is running. The program i'm talking about is Need For Speed World. (NFSW).If the program is running then, I want Label1 to say "Running". And if not: "Not Running".
