How can i use the address bar to send commands to a external application?
Example:
AOL Instant Messenger -
I havent used this application in a long time. But i remembered if you wanted to add a friend to AIM from their online profile it directed them to a link such as:
aim:addfriend=contactID
and AIM would pick this up and add it the contactID to the application. The link i posted is more than likely not the correct link they use but it shows what im trying to accomplish.
Im looking to achieve something along the lines of:
myApplication:command=commandValue

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to use the DHCP API (using the references on pinvoke.net) to retrieve a computer's MAC address when given the IP address but I can't get the code to work. I've run all the C# code on pinvoke.net through the C#-to-VB converter but I'm stuck now.
Here's what I have so far. The value of res is always 5 (should be 0). Thing is, I can't find any documentation on what the return codes mean
vb
Private Sub GetMACDim client As String = "1.1.1.1" Dim server As String = "0.0.0.0" Dim si As New NativeMethods.DHCP_SEARCH_INFO si.SearchType = NativeMethods.DHCP_SEARCH_INFO_TYPE.DhcpClientIpAddress si.ClientIpAddress = Convert.ToUInt32(StringIPAddressToUint32(client)) Dim res As UInteger Dim oInfo As IntPtr

View 1 RepliesThere are tons of examples of how to access the process environment block (PEB) from C++ code but I'm wanting to do it from VB.NET and am seriously struggling.I call NtQueryInformationProcess and get a Process_Basic_Information structure back from that which has a member named PebBaseAddress and this holds a pointer to the PEB (I have verified that this member does hold a valid pointer at runtime). The problem is that when I try to read data from the address that this pointer references I just get nothing. One important thing to mention is that it works fine if I try to use it on my own process, its just when I try and read the PEB for an external process that it gives me no data. I've enabled the SeDebugPrivilege (and confirmed it is enabled for my process in Process Explorer) but this made no difference. I've also tested it on Windows XP x86 as I'm currently testing on Windows 7 x64 but XP had the exact same issue, only sometimes the XP one would just crash completely with a memory access violation and thats the other thing, I am getting fairly inconsistent results - even on the Windows 7 machine sometimes I end up with no data but other times I get memory access violation errors, and other times I get the data for my process even when I have passed in the handle of a different process..

i am creating a visual basic program, which acts as a very simple GUI for another program. I have built the whole Visual Basic project, but i am unable to do one part, the most important part you could say.I have a button(button1) on a form, when the button is clicked, i want it to run a program, named 'mover.exe' which is located in the SAME FOLDER that my visual basic program will run from. The directory of this folder will change. So, there are two problems..i have:
1 - to make the program run the .exe program when button1 is clicked (it also must be run with administrative privelages).
2 - to make the program always look for 'mover.exe' in the folder in which it is started from.
I have a visual basic file with a number of functions I want to use inside my XSL. I can build it as a dll and reference in my XSL project but I don't know how to reference it in my XSL file. I am using visual studio.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI've been working on a program and the final step in it is to run an external exe. This particular exe is a video game exe. What happens is the code will run fine, the game starts up, and right when the screen blinks to go into the game, the game stops stops. I don't even get to the logos in the beginning.
This game in particular is Star Wars Battlefront II, and I'm trying to run the main game file (BattlefrontII.exe). I've tried TONS of ways to try and get this work.
