I have amended the application manifest of my program to launch it when a file with a certain extension is clicked. This works OK but I can't get the filename. Apparently CommandLineArgs are not available in a click once deployment and I have tried using the StartUpEvent command line as well but it seems to be empty.
View 2 RepliesI have a program that everytime it is started download a file, read to a list, and add an entry to that list.That entry will be the useres ip address. I have gotten that far so far, but the ip address is sometimes the ip address of the lan like 192.168.1.100. That will nto work properly. I want the true ip address like 69.47.192.12

View 2 RepliesHow can I make a program so you click a button and select a File using a OpenFileDialog and click send on your computer and it will send the file to a different computer and then a SaveFileDialog will show asking where to save the file on the other computer. Oh ya I cant use WinSock or whatever becuase im using Windows Vista 64 Bit. I need it because I for some reason cant use printer sharing. It might be because im on A 64bit Vista Machine and I want to print a file off of a 32bit XP Home Machine.
View 6 RepliesI have a small problem with my application. When the system starts up, the program starts with it, but runs hidden (registry key with paremeter). The program also has a GUI.I want it so that when the user clicks the desktop icon, it does not start a second instance of the executable, but instead reveals the currently running background process. Is that possible?i.e. when the application is started with the "-startup" paremeter, it loads a hidden form2, and closes form1. When the desktop icon is clicked, it loads form1, while form2 remains hidden.
View 4 RepliesI'm having troubles finding a way to retrieve informations about which program started my own application. The situation is this: I have a VB .net application which launch another VB .net application (both made with the .net framework 2.0) using process.start(), the second application need to know which software or process started it, if it was started by another software and not directly by the user, and I can't access to the source code of the first application so there's no way I can send a specific command line to the second application.

View 1 RepliesI have a custom button in IE8 which starts up my program. Now what I wanted to do, was pass an arguement such as: 'myprogram.exe /ie'
From the IE8 button, and well my program will do rest from there. Now my program adds the button just fine, shows up fine, all that works. But each time i'd add an argument after my application path, IE8 would say it can't find the program. If you want to test this out, goto run, type in gpedit.msc, then 'User Configuration'->'Windows Settings'->'Internet Explorer Maintenance'->'Browser User Interface', and double click on 'Browser Toolbar Customizations'. And in the small window that pops up, is an option for adding custom buttons to IE. I was using this for testing purposes, since it was faster to edit a button here than in my program. When you add a button you choose the executable to link it to. But if you add any arguments after it, IE will simply not be able to find the program. Even if that same command works when you type it from 'run'.
So, now my question is, since apperntly you can't have any arguments in the button, is it possible to detect what executable starts your program? For instance, detect if iexplore.exe started up my program?
how to PROPERLY make a multi-tabbed or multi-window application that can handle file start requests.
For example, on startup my "Desktop Application" runs and sits there waiting for a task, either through the main menu, or for a file to display in a window. Now the problem is simple, how can I make this already running program load the dropped file (dropped on the executable (!)), instead of starting a new instance.
I understand I will have to check if the process is running, and if so, do some stuff with it. But the problem is passing the message to the active program.
Previously I used text files with paths/arguments in them, but I don't like the idea of the OS/program checking every 500 ms if a file is created in the "load this" folder...
Then I thought of sending a message using "Send Message", for example changing the text in a textbox and handle the "Text Changed" event, but is this reliable? Can any other program interfere with it?
So, basically I need the proper way of doing all of this. For example, Microsoft Visual Studio does this nicely, and no lag whatsoever...
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Hide()
Dim value As String = """" + Application.ExecutablePath + """ -nogui"

I want the program to exit the sub after the timer has been started. But if theres no args, it should just show itself. The problem is that it seems to not care about the exit sub thingy, cause it shows itself anyway.
I've used Visual Basic on and off for years, but for some reason this has never crossed my path, though it's probably relatively simple.
I have a program which runs in the background, in the System Tray. (Which is to say it has a NotifyIcon and is Hiding.) Using the Registy, I've added a new item to the right-click menu for certain files (for example PDF) which reads "Accept".
The goal is to have this open the file in my program and have it run the script. The script itself works flawlessly with an Open Dialog box - all it does is change the "comments" on the file. But I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it without the dialog box.

View 1 RepliesI'm coming to end of a program I've been writing for quite some time now. In this program, I use text files to store/retrieve all the data I need for the program. I've save each file with text characters, with a file extension of .fad.

how can I get my own icon to appear on my .fad files?

I am really confused! My program doesn't work if I don't have Visual Studio here in my PC. To test it I have uninstalled Visual Studio. But my program doesn't work though Flash Player is present there (I have used Flash animation in the first form).
To be more sure about it I have installed Flash. But it's not working! That means the Flash animation file (.swf) is not making a problem! It needs support from Visual Studio to start. Doesn't it mean that some files are not attached with a setup file as a result it needs Visual Studio to run? Let me tell you how I create a setup file of my program.

View 8 RepliesWaaaaay back in 2003 I took a course called "Programming with the Microsoft .NET Framework (Microsoft Visual Basic .NET)" Then I attempted for the next year to get approval to take more courses, failed, and eventually gave up. Now, I'm being asked to write applications using VS 2008. I have, of course, forgotten everything I learned 6+ years ago, plus I'm sure things have changed. Plus we still don't have money for me to take any courses. my question to you is: can you recommend a free website, or a book I might find in my local library, that will give me a kick start into writing VB windows applications (database driven) and/or ASP.NET applications (also very database driven). I'm proficient in VB 3, 5, and 6, along with ASP classic using VBScript.... I just have forgotten pretty much everything I once might have known about .NET.
