How To Check If App Is Running Or Not

Feb 21, 2011

I am working on a tool that will better manage the server applications I run on my server. I have a working version of what I need written in VB6, I've tried converting the code from vb6 to .net with no luck. Basically I have a few server applications I would like to display the status of, if they're running or not. Then with a few buttons to start/stop the application accordingly. I've found a few different code snippets across the web which I've tried to implement in to my project with no luck.

.NET Check If Another Application Is Running?

May 11, 2009

I have an application that provides core services for a series of other applications.When another of these applications is started, I want to check that the service application is running and if not shutdown.What is the best method to check for the existence of the other app? I'm thinking that I should be using a global mutex in the services app and checking for it's existence in the other apps. Is this the correct way to proceed?

Check If A .exe Program Is Running?

May 28, 2010

Although I signed up a year ago I didnt have enough free time to carry on programming, but have now made some time.

I have spent the past 2 hours trying to look for a code for visual basic 2008 that will check if a program is running.

It would be really helpful if someone wrote the whole code out and made it clear exactly where I put them name of the .exe file

Check If A Program Is Running?

Sep 13, 2008

I'm making a program in VB to check if a certain program is running, and if not, to start it up, because I'm hardly ever at my computer and sometimes the program that is being checked for existence tends to close down often, so I need something that will check for the existence of the program in question, and start it if it's not running

Check If Someone Is Running Program?

Mar 5, 2012

I have a program that 10-20 people use throughout the day. Because things are rapidly fluctuating I occasionally have to take the database offline, or restart the server for other reasons. I'd like to have a better way to make sure no one is currently in the program than walking to each person and asking them.

I don't want to re-invent the wheel if something like this already exists.

The thoughts I had were:

Create a database "history" entry each time users open or close the program to see who is currently using the system. Use WCF to have the clients "tell" the server that they are connected every X seconds.

Check If SQL Server Is Running Yet?

Jan 10, 2011

I'm running into an issue with my application. If the laptop is just turned on and a user opens the application, the application attempts to hit a SQL server to do some work. The issue is that sometimes the SQL Server process hasn't started yet (slow laptop).

What is the preferred method for checking if this is running.

Do I check for it like a normal process?

Do I attempt to make a connection via ADO.NET and catch the error?

Check For Instance Of A Specific Exe(s) Already Running?

May 10, 2011

I'm wanting to add a some extra code within my application. My app is a single form that sets some environment variables before calling a one of two possible 3rd party executables to run. I have set via regedit the file association for files to open via my app but what I want to do is have my app check to see if either 3rd party app is already running. In short I'm trying to ensure either 3rd party app stays as a single instance.

If a user were to try an open another instance: 1) my application should simply terminate (no warnings, no msg boxes etc...) 2)the file that the user was trying to open should open within the existing instance of the 3rd party application. The problem is I don't quite know how to achieve both parts I imagine that this 'instance check' should happen as the first bit of code so that if no instance of either 3rd party app is found, then proceed with rest of my application. I have tested using some lines of code at the top of Sub New(). Here's what I have so far for checking for both 3rd party applications:

Public Sub New()
If IsProcessRunning("ustation") = True Then
Me.Close()

[code]....

This gives me an error when I debug (Cannot access a disposed object)

Check If .NET Framework Is Installed Before Running?

Jul 13, 2010

My application required .NET Framework 2.0.Currently, if it is not installed the user recieves the following error:The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135)'.It becomes extremely tiresome repeating to users that this is because the framework isn't installed. Is there some way to check if .NET framework 2.0 is installed before running, or in some way change this cryptic message so the user knows immediately

Check When Proccess / Window Is Running?

Jan 24, 2010

I'm working on an app at the moment that requires an "if statement". I'd like it to check if a particular process is running (or window name, it doesn't matter) and if it is, I'd like it to do something. If it isn't, I'd like it to do something else.

The only part I don't have at the moment is the "checking if the process (or window name) is running" part.
