I have a few questions regarding the GUI applications.I am aware that Console applications are non-event based programs which do not have the pretty GUI interface.Having done C/C++ on *nix with a main() as the entry point and in Windows 3.1 with WinMain as the entry point into the application, I am trying to figure out the entry point into the VB application.
View 4 RepliesWe 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.
Regarding a console application and VB forum program - In searching XML parsing examples I find several using Console.Write and Console.Write - To show my inexperience I (out of habit going through a couple preliminary examples) I created a new VB project with a blank form - I then copied and pasted the XML example using the console commands Errors - I just found the "create console application"What is the difference between a console application and the project using a blank form? Can the console commands like Console.Write work with a VB form project?If so (#2)What is the advantage in creating a console application - why not just start with a blank form and go?
View 1 Replieshow can I control and use already compiled console applications with VB.Net? I would like to be able to pass parameters to the console app, as well as be able to hide and close command prompt widow (as ordinary users would probably get scared/confused from seeing it). Perhaps it is possible to integrate the command application into my VB.Net executable?

View 1 RepliesVB.net newbie question: I am writing a number of console applications, all of which need to use a set of common functions and subroutines that are compiled directly into the applications, not into a separate DLL.
I assume that each separate console application needs to be a separate project, and that the commonly used functions and subroutines need to be in a separate module, but how can such a module be shared between multiple projects so that only one copy of the shared module and its code is required, without creating a separate DLL?
I am developing an application which launch an external windows app, ei called APL.exe Also, this APL.exe launch two console utils, ie. named CON1.exe and CON2.exe I would like to know if is there any way, after APL.exe has died, of killing CON1.exe and CON2.exe, because there is a small possibility that they will not died completly after APL.exe has exited.Also there is another requirement. My final app version could be executed twice in the same machine, so there could be two instances of CON1.exe and CON2.exe, and because this I need a way to kill them not by process name, but knowing which of them has been launched by my current application instance.

View 5 RepliesI 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.
View 12 RepliesHow 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.
View 7 RepliesIt 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?
Can anyone tell me what the technical difference is between Application.Exit() and End?Why would you choose to use one over the other, for example?

My company is in the process of analyzing how to convert and upgrade an application that was written in Microsoft Office Access 2003. Recently we purchased Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.
The first step we'll probably take will be to convert the Access data to Microsoft SQL. Is there a recommended way of doing that? What should be done with the VBA code?
The second step we're not sure about. We're wondering in we should develop all new software in VB or that we should still use VBA, if possible, after the data has been converted to SQL.
what are the benefits of publishing an application versus just grabbing and using the .exe file from the build?
View 1 RepliesI have a situation with an application of mine where I noticed I get a different result when the application is installed in comparison to it running in Visual Studio. If the application is installed a certain aberration pops up in this computer graphics application at a certain point in one of the screens but if I run the same group of settings or you could say the same "screen" running the application from Visual Studio I don't see the aberration ever happen. I tried deleting the bin and obj folders and then rebuilding before creating an installation and it doesn't change anything and whether I use InstallShield or create an installation using ClickOnce I still see the same issue. I have Enable application framework unchecked but found it makes no difference checked or unchecked

View 2 Repliesdetect 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.
View 1 RepliesI have created an application that will run several other Engineering applications from within it.
I have my main form which will have a button on it for each application that has to be run. All the other projects are complete and have their respective '.EXE' files, which I have added to the main project.
I have coded one of the buttons to start an application, this is as follows;
Private Sub btnCoordsCalc_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCoordsCalc.Click
Process.Start(My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory & "Hole_Coordinates_Calculator.exe")
End Sub
This method works OK and does start the application. So my question is; Is this the correct way to do it, or should I import the whole project into my main project?
I have several different applicaitons that were originally created with Visual Studio 2005 / .net framework 2.0 / Windows XP that got common settings from an App.Config file on a network share. Each of these applications has an app.config file with the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<appSettings file="\fileServerconfigcommon.app.config" >
</appSettings>
</configuration>
I am now trying to make these applications work in a Windows 7 / .net framework 3.5 / Visual Studio 2008 environment and can't seem to access the settings in \fileServerconfigcommon.app.config in the same way the old environment allowed. I'm wondering if there is some new way to do this. I need to have the applications read their settings from a common file on the network share (having the applications take their own copy is not accpetable).
Is it possible to make an application, but that isn't visible in the taskmanager -> applications
