I have vs 2008. I have a VB project with lots of stuff. I want to do a little program to test out some ideas. I also, separately, want to execute a little .cmd script.
What I would like, is a way to execute my little test program, or the little .cmd script directly from within VS, bypassing the debug information set up for the project.
i have created a batch file and have added it to the project using add items. Basically what i am aiming at is to execute this file on a button click action. I am using System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("hello.bat") command to run this file i have changed the build action to resource for this batch file. But when i run this program, it is not able to locate the batch file. I am required to give a relative path as the path my vary from machine to machine. how can i make this file accessable using a relative path?
View 1 RepliesSo 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.)
View 3 RepliesThis may be a strange question and have no answer but I thought I would post it to see how you would go about doing it. I have a line of code:
Grade = Math.Round((Math.Abs(CorrectAnswers) / TotalQuestions) * 100)
Basically that line just figures out the grade no major code work there, what I want to do is execute that specific line with different variables without running the whole application and navigating to the point in the application which for this segment would be completing a 150 question exam, or coding some #temp page and running it from there.

View 1 RepliesVisual Basic 2008 Express Edition. I completed a few projects earlier this year and have just returned to build a new project and find that I am getting an error on the build. I get the following message: Unable to output file '<Projects location><Project_name>objDebug<Project_name>.exe'. Could not execute CVTRES.EXE.
I also get this message on projects I have completed previously. I have reinstalled (repair) and then un-installed and reinstalled Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition to no avail. I also notice that Help topics such as Technical Support and Check for Updates give the following response: The operation could not be completed. I am unaware of any changes to the environment that could have caused these errors.
