Complicated Batch File That Would Like To Run In VB 2010?
May 8, 2011
I have an interesting project that i would like to complete. I have a batch file used to ping our locations. Has 1 simple input but i dont understand how to get this to work in visual basic 2010.
I am refining my VS2010 control renderers and I'm working on the TabControl at the moment. If you take a screenshot of the VS2010 IDE and zoom in on the background of the TabControl (where there are no tabs), then you might see that it consists of a pattern of dots with a slightly different color than the surrounding background. I am trying to draw these dots (yes, I'm going for perfection), but I cannot find a brush that allows me to do this.I am pretty sure I'd have to use a HatchBrush with the right HatchStyle, but I cannot find a matching style.Here is a screenshot showing:
1. The VS2010 background I'm trying to draw (higher contrast and brightness otherwise it's hardly visible),
2. The HatchStyle that is closest to this (DottedDiamond)
3. Why this HatchStyle is not correct (it's missing dots where the green dots are, which I photoshopped in).
Now of course I'm going to have to draw the pattern twice (there are two patterns, offset by 1 pixel, with a slightly different color), but the more pressing problem is the green dots seen in the third image. They aren't there with the DottedDiamond style, and no other style (I think I've tried them all, but hey I might have missed some..) produces a better output.
I am new to VB and Visual Studio. Using VB 2010 express edition. I am making a VB project and from from inside that i want to be able to run a batch file that i already have.
My problem is i am not able to import this in my project. I tried adding it in the project from solution explorer but when i run the program its not able to find it. I am able to execute it when i copy that batch file somewhere on disk and then giving absolute path but not by including it inside my project.
I've been working on a program that generates a batch file, then when you press a button, it executes that batch file. There are multiple batch files attached to each item in the list box.
[code]...
The only thing that it does when I press the button, is starts the batch file, then goes to function searchtitle, which executes the batch file again when it finds out it didn't work properly.The button text doesn't change, none of the items are being added to my first list box, and I can't do anything to the window after pressing the button. It constantly opens the batch file every 5 seconds or so.
I have a VB program that writes a batch file to allow me to run a line of the following format:java <my class file> [options]I then run the batch file using the Shell() routine in VB.When I do this it says it cannot find <my class file>. However if I run the same batch file from a dos prompt it works.why it works in a dos prompt but not in the Shell function?
i am creating an app that when a button is pressed a batch file is executed and hidden from view.I have managed to get the output of the batch file to be displayed in a text box.
I have been looking all day trying to find a way to do this. I need to run a Batch file which is held on a server, the file path begins with a IP Address which DOS doesn't like. So i found the pushd command which assigns a temp drive letter from which you can run the Batch File.If i was simply running a normal program or file i would use:
Dim proc As Process proc = Process.Start("c:\BatchFile.bat") proc.WaitForExit()
I'm trying to find a tidy way to set a string using an if else statement according to a numeric value. The only complication is that there is a possibility that this value may contain text. So it needs to handle that situation too.
So this is the basic code:
If cint(QtyShop) > 0 Then msg = "Stock found in this shop" ElseIf cint(QtyAllShops) > 0 Then
Is there any method to do batch update winForm in VB 2010
Using Microsoft Access2007 as database, VB 2010 WinForm (DataGridview + Textbox)
There are a lot of record need to be Updated, It is very efficient if that data is just going through Batch Update, meaning just one click will update all the data rather than click one by one.
Any Demo or code showing how to do this Batch Update (VB.net).
I am having trouble finding a code for visual basic 2010 (or 2008) that will compile batch files to a .exe format. (So they can no longer be edited.)So far I've only found one program that does this (And was made in Visual Studios) and the program doesn't even actually work due to some unknown error. It'd be a great help to get a source code or just told that this isn't even possible.
I am trying to create a program that renames files to 1 - (however many files are in the folder) and also convert .pngs to .bmps.
If RadioButton1.Checked = True Then Dim files As String() files = IO.Directory.GetFiles(TextBox1.Text) Dim filepath_new As String filepath_new = TextBox1.Text For Each filepath As String In files [Code] .....
I have an old batch file i use that I would like to convert to vb.net,
The Batch file use a .reg entry to set the cleanmgr options. abnd then calls the sagerun command to run those options
I pretty sure I know how to create the registry entries what I am not sure to do is how to call the cleanmgr with the switches /dc /sagerun:200 then display a box saying it is complete and deleting the prefetch folder of anything older then 'n' days . [code]...
I need Visual Basic to run a batch file I have placed a batch file inside my startup application directory Inside the batch file I have WUinstall /install /reboot "When I double click the batch file it works perfect" Visual Basic 2008 Command Button I Have
Dim p As Process Try 'instance a new process p = New Process
[code]....
When I click this command button all I get is CMD window just flashes. When I hold down the enter key I can faintly read something about it is not an internal command.
I have a batch file that loads into a form containing 20 IT related incidents. I have managed to upload the batch file into a form. However I have an algorithm that reads an incident and manages to classify into its topic: See Below the data imported form the file:
1) Need to install jet direct to printers and connect users 2) Remove ms project software from PC 04384 and re install on 07882 3) install needed for 2 vectra software for Finance department PC assest 9875 and 8711 4) Supply PC 500 SITA Rest Area phone 2268 Asset and S/N 5) Add printer Epson label printer in ISD2 6) Remove Jetdirect and network printer via port PPSS PC add printer 7) Credentials for user UK15428 not logging onto the network 8) Install CD RW and unsupported software for UKX3395 9) Need Entire software installing on asset 5530, and access to password for use. 10) phone handset not functioning for UK10529, new phone required. 11) install card reader and software following PC move 12) New user group UKG0345 no mail just printers on PC00856 and PC02427 13) Update outlook remove project from PC D0186 in Prod Control per Tony Campbell install on Alisons PC in NDS 14) Unable to log onto the network, profile will need recreating 15) Remove spent toner cartridge 16) The printer doesnt appear to be printing, it looks like there could be a paper jam of some sort 17) Set up laptop and use local admin password to gain access to backup files 18) Remove image grabber card from PC and install on PC in paint shop have explained to user they will have to contact optivision
19) Cannot get onto network as I have forgotten my password, can you reset for UK15617 20) User cannot access voicemails, need mac address to edit on TOIP software
For example number 1) would be classified as a printer problem. I want the algorithm to be able to read each number, not the whole lot and classify the whole block of text, I want it to classify each incident individually, so there are 20 incidents to be classified.
I have written a simple folder backup program which, if started with a /s switch (argument), will run "silently" and perform an unattended backup. The obvious way to start the program with the /s switch is from a batch file, which then runs as a Windows Scheduled Task. I would like to create the batch file from the program itself, when it first runs, as it can then write the value of "Application.ExecutablePath" into the batch file follwed by the /s switch.
So, the question is, where best to save the batch file without running into Vista/Windows 7 permission problems? Is the local application data folder suitable?
Bear in mind there are three parts to this: my vb.net app needs first to create a batch file somewhere without permission issues, that batch file needs to be accessible to Windows Task Scheduler and then, when the batch file is run, it needs to start an .exe which is most likely in the "program files" folder.
I am a total bginner to vb.net programming. I am trying to make a simple program that allows the user to
1.change desktop background
2.Allows the user to select a boot image listed in the form
3.alows the user to enable disable the task manager,registry editor and control pannel.Replace Windows Boot image (Picture source is a picture box in form)
4.Change XP Start Button Text
5.Disable/Enable Windows Keys
so this is how far I got;
Imports Microsoft.Win32 Public Class Form1 Implements IDisposable
i am creating an app that when a button is pressed a batch file is executed and hidden from view.I have managed to get the output of the batch file to be displayed in a text box.
Im running VB.Net 2005.Inside of the program I use the line ystem.Diagnostics.Process.Start("program_) to open multiple programs. For all but one of them this works perfectly. This erros when I try to run a batch file using. System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:xx.bat") the batch file opens but then throughs a number of unreconizable java errors follow.
I want to replace ALL <firstName) tags to John and all <lastName> tags to Smith to protect sensitive date. In addition, there will be other tags such as address, ss number and phoneNumber.
NOTE: There may be multiple instances of <firstName> within the file. 1000 xml files with all replacing names, address etc. with the same fixed name such as John Smith These will be used for testing and to prevent sensitive data from being leaked
There is no doubt that I can do this the long and dirty way. (I am working on).
My code is calling a COM component to retrieve data from a contact management product. That code works fine when called directly from my VB code. However, if I add a Progress dialog and run the SAME code via the BackgroundWorker, the COM component does not run. It generates an error: Object does not match target type. when attempting to access items from the COM component.
Also, if I run my application via a batch file that simply calls the application, the COM component does not run. In this case, it generates an exception as soon as the COM component is accessed in the code. I have posted questions to the COM component vendor but after several days have not gotten any responses. Someone told me I could not access COM objects on a thead, but the same BackgroundWorker code works when communicating with Outlook or Lotus Notes (which I believe are both COM).
