View 6 RepliesI need to send string messages between applications (many clients and one server). When I tried using PostMessage/WndProc, then my message got split up in strange portions [URL].

Application B (Managing Interface) - A web page to allow a user (or could potentially be multiple users) to monitor/control the actions from Bidding Interface.
So when a user from Application A place a bid on a piece, I'll need a way to alert Application B that a bid has been placed. Then from Application B, should the user choose to accept the bid, I need to send an alert back to Application A (to update current price, increase bid etc...)
i have published my project and exe file has been created....
now i want to make a installer with some other applications...i have
myproject.exe
.netframework 3.5
adobeflashplayer.exe
now i want to make a single installer that should install these application at once...how should i do that
I have a solution that currently has about 20 class libraries, and a dozen different web apps. Each web app shares a site-wide master page, as well as share js and css files.
I need to be able to build & deploy one app at a time, or occasionally update the entire suite. How is this possible with TFS and MSDeploy?
I have been working with Visual Studio 2005 for about a year and a half but the deployment task was never left to me. So now I'm being asked at my company to build a setup which will prompt to install up to 4 applications, which can be chosen by the user using checkboxes.
All of the 4 share the same dependencies, so I created a merge modules package for that purpose. But I still don't know how can I build a single setup to install these 4 applications.
I have an application which takes input on a local machine and sends it to a database stored on a server. I'd like to be able to deploy my application over a number of computers (all on the same network), all of them updating the same database (on the network server).First of all, will this be possible without putting together a completely new application to handle all connections to the database and sorting the entries?
View 7 RepliesI am currently writing an application in VB.NET that draws to a Microstation(MS) CAD application. Like Excel, MS has a robust COM object library that can be programed remotely. Hence, I am posting this in the VB Office Automation forum.In the case where the user invokes my program and there are multiple instances of Microstation(MS) open, I need to let the user determine which MS application instance they would like the program to draw to. It could be potentially catastrophic if the program draws to an unintended application/file.So my problem is this, I need to know how to convert an instance of the application that was found by enumerating through the GetProcessByName method in the Process Class, to an "Micros tationDGN. Application" object.I have read the responses to Post 1317219 by jprg. In a response to that Post, (Post 1317389) Mike_R replied;But if you want to actually manipulate the Excel instance via automation in order to create and save a new file, etc., then it's pretty close to impossible to convert an instance that you grab within via the Process class to an Excel.Application instance.
View 3 RepliesI am a vb6 enthusiast willing to try NET. I am confused by all the versions and the fact that limitations of the 'free' version are not spelt out. My requirement is to be able to convert vb6 applications (possibly, but don't mind a manual rewrite), to write applications (not for tablets or phones yet) that I can use myself and possibly publish to others. I would like to allow printed reports for my financial applications. I will have a small home network up soon but ability to operate on a network is not critical. I do NOT want to download a 'free' version and find that it is crippled one way or another, like allowing development but not publication.
Whether the 'free download' is OK, and which one (Express?), or point to a site where the versions are clearly laid out.

How to send keystrokes in v.net automatically ..
View 1 RepliesI am using visual basic code, specifically the sendkeys.send method, to send keystrokes to a different application, in my case Acrobat Reader. Here is my problem. I am sending instructions and text to define a path to a file I want to open in Acrobat Reader. Every keystroke is being sent and interpreted in Reader correctly except the Colon. This is the line of code I am using:Sendkeys.send("C:")
I have tried every variation of this simple line of code I can think of, but the result is the same. Reader for some reason wants to interpret the Colon as Uppercase Q, so what I get is CQ. This of course totally messes up my path to the file I want to open.Sendkeys. sendwait("C:") Behaves the same
I understand there are timing issus with this method so I have added code to my app.config file suggested in this forum for taking care of the timing issue. I have also inserted delays into the execution of the program steps. Nothing I have done solves this problem.I wonder if anyone else has experienced this or a similar problem and if so what was done to correct it.
How do I make the form send keystrokes such as Tab, Enter, Left Arrow etc to itself without interfering with other programs? If I use the SendKeys.Send method, it would send it to whatever window is opened. Is there a way to only work with the form? Very quick random example: Let's say I have 5 textBoxs and I click the 'Tab' button 5 times. What would happen ?
It would change the focus from one textbox to another right? Can I make this happen automatically ... like make it happen in the background and only to the form itself. So If I'm typing something on Notepad, I don't want to receive those 5 tabs. By the way I know I can use this code to change the fofucs, but remember its only an example.

I'm trying to send the keys "ABC" and "Enter" to Notepad when I press a button. I've been reading forever on Hooks, "SendKeys" functions, but I can't figure it out. I don't think I need to use a hook, because I'm not making a hotkey or anything, I'm just pressing a button and sending the keystrokes to a window when it's not focused.

View 1 Replieshello,
i'm trying to build a application for my buddy who plays online games and has asked for a simple program to click the mouse button within his game that he plays for a certain amount of time with a certain duration between. my questions comes ( and i searched but didnt find much useful information for .net framework anyway) about how to detect a combination of keystrokes to start an action and further more to send a click event to the game that should be main focus. i'd also appreciate any tutorials on sending information to other forms controls etc.
thank you for any help
I wrote program that will send keystrokes to a computer if a button is pressed. The button is wired to a db9 connector and plugged into the pc. The program works, except I can not figure out how to detect if the cable gets unplugged. I am monitoring the CD pin change event to send keystrokes, but if the cable is not plugged in then I need it to send a messagebox.
View 8 RepliesI know how to send mouse clicks and keystrokes into an application when it is open and active, but this particular application the task is very repetitive and can be done with a script of sorts. What i want is how do i make a program to be able to send inputs (key clicks) into the application when it is minimized (the application minimized that is). doing this minimized would then allow me to do other more important things whilst the vb program is sending instructions into the other app.[code]...
