Executing An Exe With Cmd Line Argument %username%?
Apr 3, 2012
Using VB 2010 Express. I'm having trouble executing an .exe from my application with command line arguments. It works in the desktop shortcut but passing it from my application it's just writing %username% in and not pulling the username as if it was doing it in cmd line. Here is the path/arguments as we use them currently in a desktop shortcut:
"C:program.exe" /z app /s 1.1.1.1 /p 29091 /a U=%username% It all works fine other than %username%
I have a normal windows forms application. A button launches a command line application.I need to insert an argument automatically without the keyboard. Then hide the command line application. I've been trying to figure out how to do this but with little success.I need to build a function that does this but I've never built a function before.Here is what I have but it tells me it may result in a null exception.(Because I'm not doing something quite right.)[code]
I have beginner skills using VB (am using the Express edition to learn). I would like to know how to set up a conditional statement in a Windows Form (WF) app that would check if a specific command line has been passed by another separate app that launchesthe Windows Form app using command lines, and if not passed, then the Windows Form app would shut down (exit, close).So far, I can use:
For Each s As String In My.Application.CommandLineArgs If s <> "xyz" Then Me.Close()
I know how to pass arguments between two dotnet applications! However I have hard time with this: I want to pass a command line argument. for example; test.exe is a console application (none dotnet) self terminating app. From cmd.exe if I type "test.exe -v" the cmd output text will display the test.exe version info. If I place the test.exe in the same path as my VB.net app.What I want to do is:
I am a beginner using Visual Studio Express 2010 to create a small console app to use as a utility accompanying another primary app that can pass a command line to the utility. I would like to set it up so that the utility will not run independently but only run and load its only form (Form1) if it is launched by the primary app using a "/run" command line parameter. (I can set up the primary app to launch and pass a command line parameter. I need help with the utility's code.)
The utility already has some VB code, so I need to figure out what code to add to receive and act on the " /run" command line and even more challenging for me, where to place this new code so it works.
pseudo-code:
initial event to read the command line, then if it is " /run" load Form1, else do not open and run utility app.
I want to receive command line argument in my application like this.I have two different projects A and b when i execute A it should give an error message ( No Arguments ) but if i executes the project B ( it should pass a command line argument and the project A should start normally. the problem it that i can start application with arguments but i do not know how to receive arguments and execute different processes.
Recently, I just helping my friend for developing game private server, in Game Client there are 3 application is needed, its is a patcher, launcher, and main exe, my friend use open source (C++ language) application for the patcher, the patcher is work nicely, and the launcher is program that launch main exe, its using launcher because main exe is need some argument to run, the launcher is created by me.The problem is the user can be run game directly without opening the patcher, so I want to change default command line (usually "0" / "1") in launcher to 3, and I have the trap if user open directly the launcher
If My.Application.CommandLineArgs.Item(0) = "3" Then MsgBox("Please Run Patcher to proceed the game!") End
Can VisualStudio VisualBasic be opened with a command line argument specifying a custom constant for conditional coding? Instead of specifying it at "properties > Compile > Adv Compile Opts > Custom constants", I would like to just run a .BAT file that opens VisualStudio/VisualBasic and my source code with the "Custom constant" already set for the conditional coding.

I have a file called Test.txt with a one line of String equal to 'This is String', and I've created a command line argument to compare the MD5 results, why am I not getting a match?
I'm trying to create a program that does the following:Executes the following command line string (wmic /node:computername bios get serialnumber)Prompts user for the "node" entry Displays the resulting serial number in a dialog box I'm a bit of a noob at this (I haven't coded anything in VB since early 2000s) so I'm at a bit of a loss where to start. I plan on including some functions to submit the node entry and the resulting serial number to a database in the future for archiving as well.
How would that work? I can't find any documentation in the MSDN.you know how when you open a txt file it opens up notepad and loads the file? how does the whole 'loading the file' thing work in VB?
I have some difficulties concerning threading [code]
Code: 1- Dim str As String 2- Dim x As New myClass 3- str = x.doSomething() 4- x.closeSomething()
I've included line numbers so I can just refer the lines by their numbers. My problem is, when the program executes, line 4 seems to be executed earlier than I want it to. It gets executed while ThreadX is still running in line 3. How can I force the program to wait until ThreadX has finished executing, before it executes line 4?
I'm writing a command-line application in .Net. The app itself is fairly simple, but it has to connect synchronously to a web-service, which in turn has to connect to a Oracle database, and those pieces are fond of taking their time.
Is there a straightforward way (without dividing my app exe in two) to continue executing but nonetheless yield execution to the command prompt?
It's Windows, so no "&". Also, I cannot use cmd.exe's "start" cmdlet.
The program is for users to submit their username by typing in their username and pressing the submit button. The username may be able to display on the Usernamelabel in form1.(I made the button on form2) I have problems coding to make the text to come out in form2.My code comes out as error.
Here is the code in form2. Public Class Form2
Private Sub Form2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
what i need to do is open a txt file, read line by line, decode each line into an array and display. Now all works ok apart from one line.
sTextLine = objReader.ReadLine() <-- Value of string cannot be converted.
full code here ------------- Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(sOpenFile.Text) Dim sTextLine As New ArrayList() Dim sText As String = "" Dim i As Integer = 0
How would i go about reading a file Line by Line that within that line The values are delimited by " Example of the data:
"bob" "cat" "1243" "steve" dog" "6789"
I've started this with this code but not sure how to go about the next stage:
Using MyReader As New _ Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.TextFieldParser(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "Records28112011.jd") MyReader.TextFieldType = FileIO.FieldType.Delimited
I am trying to read in a TextBox line by line and take the first 7 characters of each line and output everything in another TextBox.This is what I have so far.
Dim line, lines() As String lines = TextBox1.Text.Split(Environment.NewLine) Dim i As Integer = 0
i need the app to preview the line in textbox in timeintervalof 1 s (can be change)nd when it will reach to the end it close the text file and andreread it after let say 1 m ..
Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click Dim myStream As Stream = Nothing
y question is I have a program that is used to add inputs to an array when the OK button is clicked. My problem is that the after the first click of the OK button the Do while loop does not execute again for a 2nd click.lling out my hair. Here is the code.
Public Class InputValue Public Shared InputArray(0 To 9) As Integer
