Console Versus Blank Form Project?
Jan 21, 2011
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?

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.

I have an application with a String variable that repeated gets a Date from a database, does something with that field, then goes onto the next row. Is there a way I can send send out some debugging information to the stdout console so I can debug better/view the progress of the program?

If I put this piece of code in a new fresh vb.net form, add a button and two labels and start debug I get execution time of about 11.5s.If I put the same piece of code in a new form in an old project upgraded from an earlier version of vb.net, start debug I get an execution time of 7.5s.So I do exactly the same in the two projects but get different execution times.
What do I have to do with the fresh new project to get the same execution time ?I am not interested in improving the code to be able to calculate primes faster. I just want to know what is the significant difference between an old upgraded project and a new fresh one. I am using windows 7 64bit on a 2,4 Ghz Intel quadcore.

Not really sure if the title is fitting but couldnt figure out a better one.

I am trying to create a console app which is a TCPlistener however whenever it receives any data and I write to the console window it gives alot of 'enters' (blank lines) which is not what I sent at all.
Example:
'sending
Dim toSend() As Byte = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("1")
_writer.Write(toSend, 0, toSend.Length)

This is applicable to C# and VB.Net. I am writing a console application, but one aspect of it I want to make representable in a GUI (that being downloads running, with progress bars). is it possible to write a console mode application that can also have a form in it that can be called from code inside the console component?

We 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.

I decided to explore deeper into how blank forms and controls are created.I don't know where to start. I'm not expert by any means I believe I just now the basics.I tried and start new project but instead of windows form template I used Blank Project. Added a module and creating sub main.I created a new class and copied few lines from a previous project and it gave me several errors.Brushes, Color, Font, Graphics are not defined. I am not sure if it's correct but when I added System.Drawing Reference and System.Drawing Namespace the errors was removed.Moreover, 'My' is not declared.
I would like to know what basic references and namespaces I need to add.(Note: I tried to add all the referenced and namespaces found when I create a windows form project but the errors was not removed)Moreover, how to create my own form and controls.

I have an VS2008 solution with 2 projects, WebUI and Domain; WebUI references domain. The Root Namespace in the WebUI project is:MyCompany. MyProjectName.WebUI. The Root Namespace in the Domain project is blank. (Namespaces are manually declared for all classes). So everything has been working fine, until I tried to reference a class in Domain via a fully qualified path: [Code]
Does this make any sense? So, then I cleared my WebUI Root Namespace, and voila, the fully qualified declaration then does work. However, doing this then seemed to invalidate the registration of all my user controls on my pages. The only thing that seemed to solve this was in the codebehind of each user control, manually add a namespace of MyCompany.MyProjectName.WebUI. which might make sense as perhaps the namespaces of the pages somehow had still retained the root namespace value. But, if I was to create a brand new aspx page and drop a user control on (this is before manually adding the namespace), even that page couldn't properly register it. Yet, the user control properly rendered in design view. so the VS UI seemed to be able to properly resolve it, but the compiler seemingly can't.
So from what I can tell, I can at least get things to work by manually wrapping user controls in the proper namespace. Why this is necessary for aspx pages, that have no namespace specified, to see the user controls, seems to make no sense. Is there some fundamental principle I am misunderstanding??

So basically my VB project creates a text file that is readable by another console application (not made in VB). Basically what I want to do is in my program, I want it so that when you press a button, it will run all of the text files (that you made in my program) through that console app (the console app takes XML files and converts it into another format). How can I do this? In the console app, you type in the file name (ex. File.xml) and press enter and it will give you the output file. How do I "call" a console app and have it run in the background? (background as in the prompt window doesn't pop up.)

For reasons that are beyond my control, I have three Projects. Projects A and B reference project C. Project A references project B so that it can open a large form in project B. I now need to open that large form from project C, but VB won't allow me to add a reference from C to B because that would create a circular dependency. I found a way around it, though. I created a Timer in A, and when I opened C from A, I passed in that timer. When the user performs a certain action, I enable the Timer from A, and this causes C to open B for me.

I need to detect shift + arrow key in blank form. But it's not working. I also tried overriding IsInputKey method but it only detects single key press (like arrow key) but when multiple key are pressed it simply doesn't work.

I've created a VB Console Application Project and am trying to instantiate a Report Viewer object. To my understanding I need to import Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms however Visual Studio does not recognize this name space. Is there some reference I need to add?

I did a project (College Management) in vb.net 2008 which contains 13 forms in it. I designed the different functions in a different normal form, i.e. frmAdmission, frmSearch etc. When the project run's the main form is loaded. When user chooses a particular function say 'frmSearch' then the main form is unloaded and the form frmSearch is loaded. Now my lecturer told me to use MDI forms instead of normal forms because, normal forms takes larger memory than the MDI forms.

I've got a small VB.net 2010 project I made at home and then brought to work on a flash drive.However, when I opened the project at work, I found that my first form (Form 1) doesn't work correctly.It shows up in the solution explorer with the module icon instead of the form icon and if I open it it's just a blank empty document.When I run the project, it works correctly and Form 1 opens and appears as it should. I can also open the Form 1 design file and all the information is there, I just can't access it when I open the entire project.

I followed the last post about dgvs and have been trying to get my dgvs to have alternate colored lines on form load. In both apps I am working on I am using dgvs to display certain things. I do not like the look of a blank dgv on a form. When I tried to add blank colored lines to my dgv, it did work, but when I loaded the dgv with a dataset, it pushed my columns to the right and I had to add scroll bars to see my data.

I want to know what is "Console Application" and what is used for? I'm a Self-Learner of Visual Basic using "MS Visual Basic 2005 Step by Step" and also have the book "MS Visual C# 2005 Step by Step". I found that in the Book, "MS Visual C#...", all samples / lessons are mentioning creating "Console Applications" while the book, "MS Visual Basic 2005..." gives lessons for "Windows Applications". Why is this difference in the lesson?
What is the main difference between Console Application and Windows Applications?

I have a simple console app that has various command line args. I'm running the app as a different user so I cannot use the CreateNoWindow property. How can I add a winform progress bar? My thought would be that when you use a specific command line arg it would launch the winform progress bar and not the console window, but with other command line args they would operate as normal in the console window.
