I am trying to write a Windows Script that will allow me to monitor the following: That 2 x seperate but specific processes within Component Services "Running Processes" list are currently running and have not reset within the past hour. If I already know the PID, then I can retrieve the CreationDate (I assume which I can use to check for restarts? or is this the actual process creation/installation date) for each specific process, however if a restart occurs the PID will change and my script needs to know what the new PID is without me telling it!

View 9 RepliesI am almost sure this isn't possible but it's worth an ask... We have a .NET DLL that is being called from our VB6 application. The VB6 app runs in a 32 bit process so the DLL runs in the same process (it's compiled as any cpu) Therefore when I do my ODBC Database access in the DLL is will only use a 32 bit driver, as this is what it thinks it needs (for the record the DB is Pervasive PSQL)
My problem arises when the application runs on a 64 bit machine (when only the 64 bit ODBC driver is installed) as it can't find a suitable driver to use. So is there a way to force the .NET DLL to run in a 64 bit process (compiling as x64 doesn't work because register for COM Interop is not allowed) This isn't necessarily an issue at this point in time because I can install the 32 bit driver, but at some point in the future I can imagine that 32 bit driver may not be available so I will be up the proverbial creek.
how to run a process as a child process?
I'm using this code to launch a process:
Dim appdirect As String = Application.ExecutablePath
appdirect = appdirect.Replace("SIS.EXE", "")
appdirect = appdirect.Replace("SIS.exe", "")
[Code]....
It runs the process but I need it to run as a child process of SIS.exe.

View 2 RepliesI am using VB .Net 2.0. I know I can detect the OS using
System.Environment.OSVersion
Can anyone tell me if there's a list somewhere where I can find what that generates for different OS versions.
Specifically I am trying to detect if a user is running Windows 7 64-bit.
Is there a simple way to have a code library automatically detect if it's being called from a console application or a windows application? I'd like my library not to report to the Windows Event log if it's being called from a console window, but instead report to the console window. If however, it's not being run from within a console window, it should report to the Windows Event Log.
I thought about requiring my the logging component to be passed the log target, but it would be neat if it could just automatically handle these two targets natively. I don't yet require something as extensive as log4net, indeed, if it becomes necessary to provide support to log to a database/file and other as yet unknown logging targets, then I may recommend such a solution. For now though, just having my component auto-detect the environment and log to the console or the event log according to the environment would be plenty.
find a way to detect if a process has exited and then restart it. The problem is that I have multiple process' of the same name and exe. finding a way to id each process and detect if that specific process has exited then restart it.

View 3 RepliesI have created an app that will run on many computers, each will connect to one database on the network. When ever an app is running on the local machine, it has a Public Variable called MyUserName, which has the name of the user currently running the app.Is there a way to have an app running on the server side that could reach out to all the currently connected computers and 1: see if the app is running and 2: if it is running, retrieve that Public Variable, MyUserName? if this cant be done in this manner, is there some other way i can detect if a computer is running my app and if so, get the varialbe?

I am working on a .NET console app which needs to clean up resources on exit. The problem I'm running into is that I don't get any notification if the cmd parent is closed via the console window [X], via Task Manager/Process Explorer or programmatically with WM_CLOSE. I can live with not being able to handle Kill Process from Task Mgr. or ProcExp. WM_CLOSE of the parent console is the most likely way that this application will be closed before it's finished processing.
Here are the events I've tried to register for so far:
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.ProcessExit += CurrentDomainProcessExit;
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException += CurrentDomainUnhandledException;
Console.CancelKeyPress += ConsoleCancelKeyPress;
Application.ApplicationExit += ApplicationApplicationExit;
[Code] .....
These events fire properly when I send a CTRL+C from the console or the application finishes uninterrupted. But none of them fire when the parent app (cmd console) is closed. (The parent/grandparent processes aren't CLR so I'm not sure I would ever receive those Disposed/Exited events. Those are just shots in the dark.) I've looked at some pInvoke stuff but I would rather not go down that road if .NET is an option. Is there a way to detect and handle a shutdown in these situations? I am open to any .NET, pInvoke/Win32/C/C++ solution. (Basically any way it can be done on the Windows platform.). I'm still working with .NET 2.0 so I can't use anything introduced in .NET 3.0+
I have developed a Component and I want it to be able to detect when it's running in the IDE.
Or, let me rephrase that - I want my component to be able to detect when its parent form is running in the IDE.
I can use .DesignMode and a few other methods to detect when my component is running in the IDE (For example when my component is placed on a form etc)
But when the parent form is executed from within the IDE then .DesignMode returns false.
Is it possible for a component to detect if its parent (the form) was started via an IDE/Designer ? or via the command line/start menu or what ?
My single-instance application has code to auto-start from the command line and open a requesting file with the appropriate extension when it's double-clicked or 'run' - this works fine. Once it's up and running however, what is the recognised way to detect a command line request to open another similar file so I can offer an option box to stay with the existing file or close it and swap to the new one? Can I do this within the main app, or do I need some sort of 'background listening' app to detect this and act accordingly?
View 3 RepliesI need code to fit for an 'if then' statement based on an operating system. So let's say I am running windows XP, the program detects it, and with a simple if then' statement it opens form2, if i was running vista, it would open form1. So basically i need something like: If (WindowXP current OS) then form2.open, If (windowsvista currrent OS) then form1.openOf course, the above statement won't work because I need code to support the detection of the O.S.Note: I just need code for just these two O.S'es, also I don't care if its Windows XP SP1 2, or 3, just as long as it's an XP.

End If
I just want to write code inside my assembly to detect whether it is running on a "desktop machine", or inside the context of an ASP.NET application. This is crucial guys, (licensing purposes), and I don't want to get fired because I did a mistake.So, please, be direct and if you please give me some code snippet.
EDIT v 2.0: What about using in the assembly:
[assembly: "AspNetHostingPermission (SecurityAction.RequestRefuge, Unrestricted=true)]"
to prevent the execution on the web?

I hope the title gives a good description, i have read the forum posting tips at the top. Ive just joined the community and nice to meet you all. Anyways, I am trying to create a vb.net application for which it will check if a process is running in task manager, and if this process or processes are running to end a different process. Let me give you an example,
If processA, ProcessB is running then END ProcessC. If however ProcessA, and ProcessB are not running then ProcessC can stay active. I have started the project and am able to kill the processes etc. This is shown below.

I also need it to relaunch the program if it disappears/crashes.
