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.
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 5 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?

View 1 RepliesI was thinking of adding a simple bandwidth monitor to a console application and I was wondering if it would be possible to keep a line in the console window visible at all times. I could set something up manually to pass new console output into a method that would get the contents of the console, clear the console, add the bandwidth data on the first row, then rewrite each line of previous information back to the console, etc.. but that seems like a really hacky way to go about it, and I'd be limited to the amount of rows visible at once in the console window (no scrolling).

View 2 RepliesI am trying to send/print/write all possible ASCII codes (0-255) to another console-window application. From my application I would enter the name of the "receiving" application and the comma seperated hex values that should be sent/print/written to it. I have used AppActivate to select the "receiving" application and then have used sendInput and send.sendkeys to attempt to send the desired ASCII value. However, these appear to have limitations on values greater than 127. I need to be able to send all 255 values.

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.

View 4 RepliesI 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.

View 2 RepliesThis is my first attempt at writing a console App that accesses data on my SQL server. The application is a simple process that would run each night to do some database cleanup.
Up to now all my dataset access has been through windows forms, and its really easy to bind the dataset to the code, by simply binding a dataset column to a field on the form.... BUT there is no form in the console APP!.
I know I can code tedious lines of code to define the dataset, and the SQL etc etc, but there has to a simple method like there is for forms.
