I wan to be able to output custom sounds mp3's to applications like chatroulette. I can either do that be a 'virtual microphone' and then select it in chatroulette (like an iso is an virtual cd drive). Or by outputting the mp3 to the wave in with NAudio. This doesn't seem to work (as in DOES compile, DOES Excecute, but the recorder doesnt show any sounds).

View 1 RepliesI have created an application that will run several other Engineering applications from within it.
I have my main form which will have a button on it for each application that has to be run. All the other projects are complete and have their respective '.EXE' files, which I have added to the main project.
I have coded one of the buttons to start an application, this is as follows;
Private Sub btnCoordsCalc_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCoordsCalc.Click
Process.Start(My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory & "Hole_Coordinates_Calculator.exe")
End Sub
This method works OK and does start the application. So my question is; Is this the correct way to do it, or should I import the whole project into my main project?
i am a casual user of visual basic express 2008 and use Vista Home Edition Ive been using it for a while now, with no problems at all. Recently i started to take a look a WPF in my apps, again no problems.(visual basic express ran fine, debugging ran fine & finished apps ran fine)
However for some reason (and all of a sudden) i keep getting errors and none of my apps will start up.
The errors are:vshost.exe has stopped working (I get this when visual basic express starts)PresentationFontCache.exe has stopped working (I get this when visual basic express starts a wpf app)
(Application Name) has stopped working (I get this when running finnished apps)I've tried all the usual methods (Reninstalled VBE & .Net3.5)I cant see why it has stopped working all of a sudden?
he lack of VB terminology in the following question - this is all fairly new to me. Anyway, on to my question.I have 2 seperate applications running and they both need to access the same array. Is it possible? If so, how?
View 2 RepliesI have created a main application form that has buttons that start up various other applications.
Following advice on here from a previous post, I have imported all the files of each separate application into the main application.
There will be times when the user wants to run more than one of these applications at the same time. I know you can just import the '.EXE' file of each app, and you can then run several at a time. But because I have all the files without the .EXE, you can only run one at a time, you have to close one app to start another.
My question is simply; Do I have to import the .EXE file of each app, or is there some code I could put in my main form that will allow me to run more than one app at a time? (the reason for having all the files of each app is so you can make any alterations without having to open each app separately).
The code below is a typical code for one of the applications start buttons, all the buttons codes are the same, apart from the app name, the buttons are imported, so not standard buttons.
Private Sub btnCoordsCalc_ClickButtonArea(ByVal Sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles btnCoordsCalc.ClickButtonArea

I have created a simple windows forms application. I would like to be able to connect to that running application and view certain properties from a seperate windows form application. In VB6 I would have run the first application and then called GetObject to connect to the instance. Does anybody know how I could do this in .Net. I'm guessing I'd have to use reflection to get a list of applications running and then somehow connect to them but I'm not sure how to do this?

Using any version of .NET how do you find out which zone a particular share is classified under. I am having a problem identifying if a share where my referenced dlls reside is in the "intranet zone" or "internet" zone relative to some user machine that is running my .NET application. I suspect this is a problem because I am having a problem accessing referenced dlls from a share on some machines but not others. How can I tell which zone .NET is classifying that share in so I can adjust permissions accordingly?
View 1 RepliesI have this problem in VB.NET in c#, I have this project where I need to run a batch file, which is easy enough. But my problem is I need to display everything that shows up on the batch file, in the cmd window, in a textbox, now, this code opens the file no problem:
System.Diagnostics.Process proc = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
proc.EnableRaisingEvents = false
proc.StartInfo.FileName = "C:\Users\jwoow\Desktop\Server\run.bat";
proc.Start().ToString();
but it doesn't move the code over to the textbox, this code transfers the last displayed line, but not the entire thing of the batch file and it also closes the cmd window, i need it to stay open:
Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
[code]....
the batch file is for a server, it displays the amt of users on it (updates ever 2 minutes) and shows different events taken by the users. so it is constantly updating.
