I'm creating a Windows Console application written in VB.NET and I have a few processes that need to be called only once during the lifetime of the application. If it was an ASP.NET application, I put these in the Appliction_Start method of the Global.asax.vb file. Since there isn't a Global. asax. vb for Console applications, is there an event I could handle that allows me to call my functions before Main is called?
View 2 RepliesI'm writing a forms application. I'm adding a piece that allows you to double click on a row of a datagridview control to open a new form with more details. These additional details are pulled from a database, which takes a bit of time to finish.If I run the DB query from the form's load event, the form doesn't show up until everything in the load event has completed, which can take several seconds.I want the form to show up instantly when you double click, and all of the fields to be populated once the data is ready.Is there an event I should be using other than Load?

I have a VB 2008 console application .NET 3.5 who handles large data tables in a SQL 2005/8 database. Sometimes when SQL server do not response as application expect. Then SQL Connection change status from open. I try to get the event of changed connection string before error occurs.
1 - SQL Connection status changes from open to another status
2 - When this event fires a fix sub routine or function starts and fix the sql connection
3 - Return back where SQL Connection was when status was affected by program.
My app is a large list of SQL Commands who runs in a class orginsed as a simple list of sqlcommands.When a SQL Connection fails I will start at the last point in the program after SQL Connection are open again.

I am working on an application that needs to have both a command-line AND windows form interface. I have designed the form, and written a basic console app. The issue comes when I try to display the GUI, as the application is a Console project in VS2008. I do the following:
Dim Apply As Boolean = False
Dim Check As Boolean = False
' Snip.
[Code]....
And the GUI flashes for a second, but then goes away. How do I make the GUI stay up, and wait for input?

View 3 RepliesI have a .Net Console application which displays thousands of lines on the console each minute. I want to convert it to a Windows Service, however I still need a way of viewing these messages. There are far too many messages to write them to the event log or even a standard log file. I was wondering if there were a way to write a systray app that could simply intercept these messages from the service and display them in a console window. I have no need to save older messages, I only need to see current activity.
View 2 RepliesI created a windows console application because it needs to do some things at windows start up. However, in very rare cases I need to ask the user for some information, so I need to show a form. I created a form and went to my application properties. There I selected Windows Forms application as the application type. I call my form with the .Show method but it doesn't show up.
I expected this, but I have no idea how to solve it.
[EDIT]Just found out .Show does show it but only for 0.00001 seconds. I use showdialog now. Is this the right way to do it?

I have a console application where I successfully have added custom menu item in the application's system menu using the Windows API calls. How do I hook into the events to capture the event raised when the user clicks on one of these menus? All my Google results talks about overriding the WndProc method, but this doesn't exist in a console application.
View 3 RepliesI understand that I cannot use the System.Console to output information from a Windows Forms application because the standard input, output, and error streams are not run through the console in winforms apps. But I can't seem to find any documentation on where the standard input, output, and error streams are being directed to! Basically, I have a winforms app that accepts command line arguments and can be run in batch mode, however, I just want to direct some feedback to the user based on whatever method they're accessing the program. The app is used to redirect a client-server application from one server to another. In some instances, the user does it by hand (with a mouse), and other times they're doing it in batch mode (using SAS, command shell, VBScript, etc...). In those instances, I'd prefer NOT to use MessageBoxes because it will kill any processing they're doing.

I'm making program that will copy one file and over-write another to purge data.I have a windows form interface where the files can be selected and want a console application to run this process so it can be put into the PC's startup folder to run on each startup.
The problem is I need to send the file location data to the console app when I choose a save button on the form. Both are part of the same project and referenced but I can't seem to reference any variable from the win form to console app.Also will I see the Console app as a seperate icon in the program files so I can put it on the PC startup?

View 2 RepliesI have created a simple framework for a Windows service in VB.NET Express 2008. It enables a timer which then writes to the event log every 6 seconds until the service is stopped. This works fine. I adapted that framework into something further. It is using Windows sockets. Well, I haven't finished that part yet and I just want it to write to the event log successfully but I can't even get it to do that now. I am trying to write an event in the OnStart event. The service is being started successfully, according to the standard event log, but my custom events are not getting there. I don't understand why as I am using the same code for that as I was before.
