How To Do Two Processes At The Same Time
Jul 30, 2009
i have a small issue while developing a windows application using VB.Net . i will explain the scenario here. My application contains one form which has two tab buttons. say tab1 and tab2. In tab1, i have an option to download data from various sites. this takes few minutes. lets say 15 minutes. and in tab2 i have an option to view the logs. my problem is i am unable to click the tab2 unless and untill the downloading finish. my doubt is how to do more than processes at the same time. if i am right we need to use threading concept here.

Is there a way to determine whether processes have been opened or closed during a given time frame? I'm working on code that will take an initial copy of your processes list, and then based on a timer, continue to take copies, which will compared to the initial processes list to determine which processes have been opened or closed until the timer ends. I'm capturing the processes list's in an Array list.
Dim processesList As String //Initial processes list
Dim processActivity As String //Opened or Closed processes
Dim processesAtStart As New ArrayList // Initial processes as ArrayList (To Compare)
Dim processesCheck As New ArrayList // Latest processes as ArrayList (To Compare)
[code]....

I have an ASP.NET application with a SQL Server back end. I am storing all my dates in UTC format and doing the appropriate conversions to the local time zone of the browser viewing it. One of the pages asks for a start date and end date (no times).
I am taking the start date and setting the time to 00:00:00 hours (midnight) and I'm taking the End time and adding a time of 23:59:59, so that the date range covers the whole day. Now what I'm trying to do is do a SQL query to do a search for records in this date range. The problem is, the data in SQL is in UTC time and the user is typing their dates and times in their local date and times. My quickest solution was to convert the date and time to UTC, then search the records. However, by doing this, I am to believe ASP.NET converts the given time and date to UTC based on the server time zone. How can I convert a date and time to UTC time based on the time zone of the user?

I currently have the following up in VS 2010
Dim myProcess() As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("calc")
For Each myKill As Process In myProcess
myKill.Kill()
However I cannot seem to get it to kill more than one process. Example I've tried
("calc",mspaint")
("calc,mspaint")
("calc"),("mspaint")

For some time ago i have notice that my App on every start make a call to csc.exe and starts it. I know for sure that that did not happened before and I can not find out why this is happening now, or better to say: what did I do in code to make this happened? I have google-it and found out that csc.exe is some kind off on-the-fly compiler for C# (If I understand it correctly ) but my App is in VB.net so I am a bit confused. Can someone explain it to me in general what have I did in my VB.NET code to make my App on every start calls csc.exe?

is there a way to only get the processes that are shown in taskmgr?
The reason for this is because taskmgr hides some task on vista because you have to be admin to see all of it.

I have a need to search for a specific process in task manager and attach (dock) my application to the window for that process. I have this working just fine. The problem I'm having is that sometimes this process may be running more than once (for example: running two Internet Explorers would put two iexplore.exe entries in Task Manager).
Is there a way to get the one that was opened first? I'm not sure how they get "sorted" in the Process list, but currently I am retrieving the first occurrence of the process and docking to it, but I'm finding that it isn't always the correct one. How can I make it always dock to the process entry that was opened first?

I have 3 questions:
1) How to detect a starting process -
Solved here
2) How to capture a copy of the process and look in all controls from all forms to see if the Text/Items property has offensive keywords
3) If yes, how to close them immediately. - myProcess.kill

I have done a lot of searching and cannot find a solution to my problem of, my application appearing in the processes even after exit.
Note: It doesnt appear in the processes due to the type of exit i have used after the click function happens.

Trying to dim a certain amount of process (determined by Environment.ProcessorCount) to run several processes which do not support multi-threading. I have already Dim'd proinf(6) as Process.ProcessStartInfo because I have designed a queue for the processes and this encounters no errors.

i'm making a new project something like a task manager. i could manage to get the names of all running processes
Imports System.Diagnostics
Public Class Form1
Dim proc As Process
[Code]...
it works. it gets process names (but without extentions) what i want to do now is to get the image path of each process. i think i will have to use a different control probably data grid view. can somebody tell me how to add items to datagridview instead of listbox? and how to get each process image path( to data grid view)?

I have a program that instantiates Excel, programatically updates it, and then closes it. In some cases, when I look in the task manager/processes, I can still see 1 or more copies of Excel running.
1) Is there a way I can, after creating an object reference to Excel, identify the PID or some other unique identification?
2) Using that, is there a way, after I think I have told Excel to go away, to see if the PID (or whatever) is still active?
3) Given that I have a PID, can I get a new object reference and try to tell it to go away nicely
4) If it still won't go away, can I force an end process of the task?
5) Is there a library or routine available that will return the active processes so I can search to see if there are any copies of Excel still running?
6) using the approach in 5, can I also find out if the item associated with the PID is running just as a process and not as an application?

I want to be able to cycle through the active processes on the system and find when my program starts? It has the name 'Calculate Distance' as the form1.vb text. There fore, I want to be able to close a splash screen when the form1 loads. This requires checking currently running processes. How do I do that in VB.NET 2005?

I made an application that helps facilitate malware removal by running a bunch of different CLI scanners at once; among other things.
The app was made to run in normal and safe mode. The problem, is that since it has been made to run in normal mode, it essentially becomes useless if the malware has installed a rootkit that kills executables as they open or if they've messed with the exe file association in the registry.
So, to get my app to run, I thought to do 2 things.
First, change the file association of my app to either .com, scr, or .pif so that it can still launch but won't be affected by messed up reg keys or identified by the rootkit.
But, I still need to worry about that rootkit for the other apps.
So I thought to just kill all non essential processes.
What would be the best way to accomplish this?
I thought of two different ways:
I could either have a pre-compiled list of system processes that need to stay running or when looping through the processes, I can identify each by a specific property, like company name or something else.

I'm trying to create a small productivity program to keep myself focused when programming; specifically, to close any processes that might distract me from doing my job.What is the easiest way to kill all processes listed in a listBox? I already know how to add the processes to my listBox with this code: [code]This adds the processes to the listBox very neatly and all, exactly how I want it.

We recently have one problem started where we have two processes monitor the same queue, but the diff b/w both is, one does the PEEK only and the other process it as soon as the message arrives (event driven). Do you think that pointing these 2 processes to the same que cause any problems OR are there something special sync things we need to do?
