How To Execute Console Application Within VB Project
Nov 12, 2010
So basically my VB project creates a text file that is readable by another console application (not made in VB). Basically what I want to do is in my program, I want it so that when you press a button, it will run all of the text files (that you made in my program) through that console app (the console app takes XML files and converts it into another format). How can I do this? In the console app, you type in the file name (ex. File.xml) and press enter and it will give you the output file. How do I "call" a console app and have it run in the background? (background as in the prompt window doesn't pop up.)

I've created a VB Console Application Project and am trying to instantiate a Report Viewer object. To my understanding I need to import Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms however Visual Studio does not recognize this name space. Is there some reference I need to add?

I want to know what is "Console Application" and what is used for? I'm a Self-Learner of Visual Basic using "MS Visual Basic 2005 Step by Step" and also have the book "MS Visual C# 2005 Step by Step". I found that in the Book, "MS Visual C#...", all samples / lessons are mentioning creating "Console Applications" while the book, "MS Visual Basic 2005..." gives lessons for "Windows Applications". Why is this difference in the lesson?
What is the main difference between Console Application and Windows Applications?

I have a console application I'm using to run scheduled jobs through windows scheduler. All the communication to/from the application is in email, event logging, database logs. Is there any way I can suppress the console window from coming up?

I am currently working on an application, where I am using a console application, that will set up the application prior to the main form is run. This is no problem I've got that all working perfectly, the only problem I have is that the console is showing while the application is running, I was wondering whether anyone knows any way in which I would be able to hide the console before it gets shown to the user.

How do I get the console from closing immediatley upon opening in a Console Application program? I have all of the code written but when I run the program it pops up the console window and then immediatley exits so I am unable to read what is in the window to see if my program is operating correctly. This is the first time I've ever used a console window so I don't know where in the code I would need to put "whatever it is" I might need to put to keep the window open until closed by the user.

It sounds confusing but it's not really. What I need is basically a way to emulate the console style text, without using a console. What I'm really doing is trying to do a matrix effect on my form background, by drawing symbols and moving them, alternating their colors (see this video for what I mean).
Is there a way to do this effectively with a timer and a draw event, with the timer calling the draw event and changing the intervals?

I have vs 2008. I have a VB project with lots of stuff. I want to do a little program to test out some ideas. I also, separately, want to execute a little .cmd script.
What I would like, is a way to execute my little test program, or the little .cmd script directly from within VS, bypassing the debug information set up for the project.

This may be a strange question and have no answer but I thought I would post it to see how you would go about doing it. I have a line of code:
Grade = Math.Round((Math.Abs(CorrectAnswers) / TotalQuestions) * 100)
Basically that line just figures out the grade no major code work there, what I want to do is execute that specific line with different variables without running the whole application and navigating to the point in the application which for this segment would be completing a 150 question exam, or coding some #temp page and running it from there.

Regarding a console application and VB forum program - In searching XML parsing examples I find several using Console.Write and Console.Write - To show my inexperience I (out of habit going through a couple preliminary examples) I created a new VB project with a blank form - I then copied and pasted the XML example using the console commands Errors - I just found the "create console application"What is the difference between a console application and the project using a blank form? Can the console commands like Console.Write work with a VB form project?If so (#2)What is the advantage in creating a console application - why not just start with a blank form and go?

detect whether the current application is a console or a winforms application.The reason that I want to do this is that I am developing a library with a global error handler in it and I need to know what type of application it is in order to be able to subscribe to the appropriate exception event.Obviously I could get the user to pass in a parameter specifying what type of application it is, but I would rather deal with that automatically so its all encapsulated from the user of the class.

We currently have +- 20 different console application developed in VS2008 and running at different scheduled intervals, all controlled by Windows schedular. The problem we have come accross is that it is becoming increasingly difficult to manage and maintain these console apps. In some instances a console app will just fail or never run to start with and this creates a lot of problems. In many cases one console app is dependant on another and if 1st one fails well...you see where this is going.
I am looking for a new solution that will help us to trace, debug and manage these console apps better. We are preferably looking for a gui front end, maybe windows app where we can set the intervals for them to sun and view some error reports if they did not run.We are port all the code for the console apps to which ever new appliocation we develop.

The DBA has created a DTS package to update a SQL Server 2000 table. We have a VB .NET 2008 application that needs to execute this package. We thought that having the application execute a stored procedure to do this would suffice; however, we are exploring a way to execute the DTS package programatically.

Not in the Debug directory or any directory, I actually mean within my program Is there a way to add the exe to the My.Resources or something similar and execute the application that is stored within my application. I have tried to do a Process.Start(Myexe'sName), but I have a feeling that looks for an exe outside the actual program, directory

Today i find the compiled bin files missing an now all my pages are sqwaking they cannot find the numerous Public Class - Public Shared Function's ... I have verified their build action to Compile but am unable to rebuild an have them regenerate on account of project errors.Advice on how to rebuild the bin or how to properly reference a Public Shared Function? My VB code includes an Imports statement taht used to find the class in app_code.
