Execute Shell-commands With Parameters?
Mar 2, 2010
I cant understand why this works (Start a service "test" on a remote computer):
Dim rCommand As String
rCommand = "c:pstoolspsservice \computer -u admin -p blabla start test"
Shell("cmd.exe /c" & rCommand)
[Code]....
The above code that doesnt work starts a virtual machine on VmWare Server. I have the exact same line in a .bat file and if i call the batfile from VB it starts the batfile and execute the commmand. I cant understand why this doesnt work without the batfil when i have no problem executing the PsTools command from VB-code.

catch statements - it works well just checking my disk drive for a file, if an error is thrown then I open the disk tray and ask them to put the disk in, click OK on the message box and it performs another check for the file, if this fails the button that starts all this is disabled on my main form (the code is shown below).
Okay, so my problem is I'd like to have the message box pop up and the have the drive open up (using an API which I have) either at the same time or in the order of: message box then drive open. I can see two ways to do this: Have the commands happen at the same time (Can you even do this?) OR Have the message box appear and then open the disk drive (but how I could achieve this I don't know as the message box waits for the user to click OK... I originally though of starting a timer just before and getting it to open the disk drive tray in the tick event,
Code:
Public Class Form1
'open cd-rom tray API

I am trying to execute a shell command with vb.net that includes variable from the vb.net code.I have experience with batch, and Unix scripting. I had to modify the contents of the code as it is confidential to me at the moment.Example of my problem:
Dim Variable1 As String = "Location_to_.exe"
Dim Location As String = "UNC_Path_Goes_Here"
Dim Options As String = "/Options go here"
Shell("cmd.exe", /C Variable1, Location, Options) This is something that must be run from CMD.exe and I am trying to do it this way to make it as dynamic as possible.

I'm using the following code to execute a command-line script, which uses imagemagick (a third-party, free, image tool) to create a watermark. (And then I run a similar command to attach the watermark to my image.)What I need, though, is to be able to receive the RESPONSE/RETURN CODE from the execution...it seems to sometimes fail.

I am trying to setup a variable in VB, which will execute a shell command (autostatus.exe) with a parameter (-j JobName), and later display the output of the said variable. The code thus far is...
Dim JobName
Dim JobStatus
JobName = "asysr11_set_global_var_2day"
JobStatus = ShellExecute("autostatus.exe", -j, JobName)
What is the easiest way to achieve this? Currently, the above code returns error message "line:4, Type mismatch: 'ShellExecute', code: 800A000D"

I'm evaluating the best approach to implement the following periodic task:
Get some users from SQL Server (2008) and then for each user enable licences in the Cloud (Office 365) using PowerShell.
My first thought was a console-based app in C# or VB.net but now that I realize that running a PS Script remotely using C# can be quite a challenge I'm starting to think in alternatives like perform all the stuff using PowerShell, I guess this is a better approach but I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.

I am working on a "de-bugging" back-end sorta thingy for my program, and I have a "dll" that executes most of the work for the program. For the ease of tech-support, I plan on trying to impliment a hidden back-door into the engine that is password protected and activated by a key-press. What I want to do is:when the enter key is pressed, have the dll run the sub that is listed in the enter key, for example:
In the dll:

I'm implementing an application using vb.net 2005 with oracle 10g and I came across a functionality that should Select/Insert/Update/Delete data from three different tables in oracle.So I`m wondering if there is a way to prepare all the 3 commands (SQL Statements) separately and then execute them in one shot to the oracle, so in this way I can guarantee that all of them are successfully executed or all are failed to execute, and also I could gain more performance which is critical in my case.Thus I`m looking for a syntax in vb.net that helps me execute more than one OracleCommand in one shot to the oracle.

I have a very large table, and I have a sql data adapter to fill a data table. The user is able to change some values, then saves the changes, at this point i just call the adapter update method (I use the sql command builder to get all the commands of the adapter). What I need it's to make some changes to 4 parameters in the update command, before calling the update command, but I don't see how to do this? Before the update itself, I don't have any values, if I set the parameters (I saw the number of the parameters in the debug mode), before the update, that doesn't do anything, I think they get override in the update method...

I have a database in MS SQL Server 2008, I have Stored Procedures. One of them does an INSERT with parameters. It works in Server Management Studio.Now I'd like to make a button in Visual Basic 2008 that executes this SP. I have made a DataSet, it contains my 3 SP's, I can easily use 2 of them, because they return data, but the one I'm having trouble with doesn't. Could anyone please tell me how to make VB to execute it? (The command should look like this: "EXECUTE SP2 a, b, c, d".)

I was recently assigned to do some research on how to approach a project. Right now we have an old program written in tcl. From this tcl program ( running on VMS client computer), we are able to run unix commands to execute processes on a unix server. This is done via tcpip. Now, we are thinking of making upgrades to this system . We are wondering if this kind of thing was possible with Visual Basic. Are we able to run a VB program on windows computer to run UNIX commands on a server? If so, what issues might be brought up. If anyone has even the briefest guideline or tip on this,

I have a very simple Business Rules Engine that has only three methods. One gets all the rules for the current operation, one will retrieve a list of parameters for the rules, the last applies the rules. The rules are stored in the database as user defined functions using parameters. The client will call the BRE pass in the operation and a Lot Number and the BRE checks for any rules that apply to this operation for this Lot. The client gets a list of rules that apply (the names of the corresponding UDF's in the database) and at which step in the operation the rule applies. When the material gets to a step that has a rule, it calls BRE to get parameters for the UDF for that operation, fills in the parameters with data contained in the GUI and calls the BRE to apply the rule with this lot's specific data. Multiple lots can share the same rule that is why there are parameters for the UDF. This all works well. However, this is assuming we have a set number of rules for each lot at each operation. If the lot needs a new rule applied at this operation we have to add a new rule and corresponding UDF into the BRE database. This is not a problem, the client will now see two rules, however, it only knows how to apply the parameters for the first rule, and there is no code for applying the parameters for the second rule.
For example: Rule 1 states that only the same Lot number items can be put into a carton. So the UDF expects one parameter called LotID and one parameter called Carton ID. It runs the rule (UDF) with these parameters and checks to ensure the lots match. Now the Lot requires a second rule: Only 25 items can be packed in the carton. We create a new rule and corresponding UDF, but this rule has the CartonID and a quantity associated with it.
The GUI can handle Rule 1 because it knows how to apply the correct data from the GUI to the parameters for the Rule and execute the rule, so LotID from the GUI = LotID in the parameter name in the UDF and CartonID from the GUI = CartonID parameter name in the UDF. Now there is a new rule, the GUI sees this new rule, gets the parameters, but has no way to applying the quantity to the new parameter to execute the rule without having to change the GUI. We don't expect there to be many rule changes, however, when they do occur we don't want to have to recompile the GUI every time. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to create a class that could determine the how to apply set the correct parameters? We have thought about a table in a database that maps the parameter names in the UDF with parameter names in the GUI so when we add a new UDF we update the table with the corresponding data from the GUI. That could work but may get cumbersome and would require us to make sure that, that table is kept current. Another suggestion was to name the parameters in the UDF the same as the parameters in the GUI, but this too, would require us to maintain the names in two locations.
