View 8 RepliesForce An Update Of .NET Application?
Sep 21, 2009I have written an application for a customer, and the application is run in various locations around the world. The company carefully controls the release of the software to the various buildings where it is being used, and because of this, I have made use of the "Check for updates" feature. The problem I am faced with, is that the folks using this software more often than not answers "NO" when prompted to download and install the latest version of the application. This is unacceptable and ultimately, we'll need to go in and have them manually install the software.
We don't publish updates to the software w/o meaning for them to be necessary, and I find it hard to believe that Microsoft doesn't recognize this sort of thing as being needed when they designed the update procedures. Alas, this seems to be the case.

Force Multiple Instance Of A Standalone (3rd Party) Application
Jul 14, 2009I need to be able to run multiple instances of a standalone (3rd party) application. This application prevents multiple instances from being ran from within the application. I need to basically override this.
I know it can be accomplished by hexing the original executable, however I would like to stay away from this method as I'd like for other users to be able to use my application from the get go without needing to hex the 3rd party app themselves or me having to send them the hexed app. Is there any way to achieve this or am I just taking crazy pills?
C# - Winform Application, Does Window Minimize Force Garbage Collection?
Feb 8, 2011Here's the scenario, winforms application, monitoring via Task Manager Processes Tab.On initial launch spins up to ~61,000K (initial data grid and data loads)If I minimize the application, not touching or doing anything the Mem usage drops to 1,380K.When I restore the application is spins back up to only 5.8K
So my question is, does the minimize send some internal message to clean up resources since the application in question is not in focus?The first app I noticed this in happens to be VB.NET, but I've observed the same behavior in my main C# winform applications.

Force A User To Log Back Into To An Application If No Activity Is Detected For X Minutes?
Apr 22, 2010I would like to try and implement a feature wherby once you have logged into an application (straightforward winforms application) and had your credetials verified the application would then force you to log on again if no activity had been detected in the application for a certain number of minutes. In essence I want to provide some extra security for those occasions when users get up and wander away from their machines for prolonged periods.
I have all the logic for logging into the application, it's just the checking for no activity over a given period and then forcing the user to log back in again that I'm not having much luck with.

HTML
code:
Now this code is executed when a button is clicked, if the folder does exists, it displays a message and continues the backup. however if it does not it displays displays "does not exist box" then i want the application to close.

Clicking Button In Separate Application Not Working?
Nov 7, 2011I am trying to automate an application and I need to respond to a prompt that is being issued by the application that I've started. The application is issueing a message and I'm using some api controls to respond so that it doesn't stop but they are ignored. here's the code I'm using and I'm hoping someone will look at it and tell me what's wrong.

Organize Application Are Going To Be Able To Separate Every Program / Webpage (over 400) From Each Other
Oct 18, 2010We have an ASP classic ERP (very large application) that we want to rewrite using ASP.NET. I am looking for a way to organize the application so we are going to be able to separate every program / webpage (over 400) from each other. Every program needs to be independent because many developers will work on the project at the same time.Visual Studio seems to make a DLL for every assembly so I was wondering if it's a good idea to make a huge solution with one project per DLL.[code]This way, we would be able to deploy every program separately without altering the others. We would also have over a thousand DLL to manage...

View 2 RepliesString Manipulation - Separate Three Fields Of The Phone Number And Display In Three Separate Text Boxes?
Feb 23, 2012I created a telephone number form where the user enters the telephone number in a text box as (nnn) nnn-nnnn. The first 3 digits in parenthesis are the ISD code, the next three are the area code and the last four are the local number. I need to separate out these three fields of the phone number and display in three separate text boxes labeled appropriately.

Call/run Excel Macro Within A Separate Visual Studio Application?
Dec 14, 2010I'm looking to call an excel macro (excel version 07) within a separate visual studio application (visual studio express 2010). Basically, a user clicks a browse dialog button to select a xls or xlsm file which is then added to a listbox. Next, I would like the macro to run when another button is clicked. The macro looks at the first column in excel and moves the listed .tif images from one folder to another. I referenced the excel libraries, but seem to be getting hung up on a few code statements (''''ERROR see code below). I would like to run the macro within visual studio for any selected excel file or add the macro somehow to the selected excel file and run it.

Create Separate Object Instances For New Objects In Separate TabPages?
Sep 17, 2010I have a TabControl object on my form with many tabs created in code (TabPages) and my problem is that the same objects that are in the initial TabPage needs to be in the other TabPages created in code, I have this done in code when the user clicks the 'New Tab' menu option, however the same code is used for any new tabs created. The problem created here is that I have an event against one of the objects that appear in the other TabPages, but because the same code is used to create any new tab pages, the event will only work on the newest tab page, if that makes sense? By the way these objects that appear on the other TabPages are properties at the top so events can be handled against them in the respective subroutine.

Possible To Have Separate Combo Boxes That Will Give Separate ID Values But Using Same Table?
Apr 30, 2010I'll get straight to my problem - I'm currently coding in Visual Studio.I have a table (countries) with the columns ID | Name. The table is filled with around 28 records.I also have a form with 4 combo boxes (set up as 1,2,3 & 4) that I want the user to select. These combo boxes will display the names from the table countries. I then want to use the selected names in the combo boxes to Insert into their corresponding ID into another table. For example England would have the ID 1, USA the ID 2 etc.So, is it possible to have separate combo boxes that will give separate ID values but using the same table? At the moment I can't seem to find a solution.Eventually the form will have more than 4 combo boxes so I don't want to use separate bindingsources for each combo box.

View 11 RepliesBring Window To Foreground?
Oct 15, 2009I am trying to use appactivate to bring a window to the foreground however this is not working. When the program is already open on the desktop and there are other windows on top of it and I use AppActivate then it brings that window into the foreground. However if that window is minimized to the windows bar below, then the only thing appactivate does is have that program selected but it does not bring it into the foreground. I need to have any window forced to the foreground while retaining its original size.
View 2 RepliesAuto-Termination Of Foreground Threads?
Apr 25, 2010I just wanted to know that When our Vb.net application terminates are all our foreground threads automatically terminated.I read that all our background threads (worker threads) are all automatically terminated once the application shutsdown (when we dispose it)H/owever i wanted to know about Foreground threads , I know that wehn we use
dim t as thread
t = new thread (address of blahblah)
t.isbackground = true ; //This makes it a worker thread ... which will terminate when the form is disposed
t.start()
my question is now suppose i dont set the background property and make it run as a foreground parallel thread. Will it close when the application disposes...
C# - Can The Number Of Foreground Threads Be Determined In .NET
Mar 8, 2011I've searched a good deal on the topic and have found little results. It seems adding foreground into the criteria on any engine I've used causes tons of entry level documents on threading in .Net.
In my current project I have a foreground thread within a static class that lies dormant until it is told otherwise. It contains a queue of items that must be processed and the items application cannot close without all items being processed. Right now I have a method that tells the thread that it should stop accepting new items and close when it is finished processing everything, but not everyone on the team remembers to call the method. Having the GUI close while the process still runs in the background is quite a bug in my opinion. If I can add a periodic check to see if the queued thread is the last foreground thread, then I can call the method and not have to worry about others that use the class.
Drawing In Foreground Of A Container Control?
Aug 13, 2009Is there a way to draw in the foreground of a container control. Such as a Panel, or PictureBox.
I need to be able to draw across multiple controls all within the same container.
Lets say, that you have a Panel containing Five Buttons. Is there a way to draw say a line across all five buttons, that will show as a continuous line, using only the Graphics object of the container?
I can only get the line drawn in the background such that the controls are drawn over the line and it appears broken. In the actual usage there are 25 controls and I would rather not have to loop through each contorl and drawn the line if needed, every time the control is invalidated.
Forms :: Foreground Form Interaction?

Process Has The Active Foreground Window?
Jan 6, 2010The user32.dll provides functions to get the process id from a process executable name, and I can also obtain the active or foreground window that the user is working.Can I determine what windows the targeted process has opened? Otherwise, can I find out what details about the process that opened the foreground/active window?
My code needs to run only when another specific process is running and the user is actively using that window, while that window is the top-most window on the desktop.
