Interrupt A Process While Its Running

Aug 4, 2010

I have written a application that searches the users computer for all files within a specified folder.Sometimes the number of files can be quite large. I would like the user to able to interrupt (end) this process.My code is handled by a button click in a VB win form.[code]I have tried various MsgBoxes that warn the user but I think a Esc Key or a Cancel button would be better.

Using WSF (Windows Scripting File) To Retrieve Component Services Running Process ID's Using Running Process Name

May 7, 2009

I am trying to write a Windows Script that will allow me to monitor the following: That 2 x seperate but specific processes within Component Services "Running Processes" list are currently running and have not reset within the past hour. If I already know the PID, then I can retrieve the CreationDate (I assume which I can use to check for restarts? or is this the actual process creation/installation date) for each specific process, however if a restart occurs the PID will change and my script needs to know what the new PID is without me telling it!

Thread.Interrupt() Doesn't Interrupt A Thread That Is In A Sleeping State?

Aug 18, 2009

Microsoft's System.io.file.exists and System.io.directory.exists can take FOREVER, especially if you're in a situation, where you've unplugged from the network and you're looking in a share.

So, to get around this, I've created a thread that times out after 3 seconds. Returning false, if the calls above haven't yet returned. To do this, my main thread passes its instance to the new thread and immediately calls:

Thread.Sleep(TimeOutInSeconds * 1000) ' Where TimeOUtInSeconds = 3
The new thread then goes and checks for the file / folder using the System.io.file.exists / System.io.directory.exists functions.
Regardless of the result, then it uses the main thread's reference to call Thread.Interrupt().

My main thread doesn't get interrupted. It stays there for the full 3 seconds. If I were to change that to 3 minutes ( and I have ), it'll sleep for 3 minutes.

Force A .NET Dll Running In A 32 Bit Process To 'act' Like A 64 Bit Process?

Mar 2, 2011

I am almost sure this isn't possible but it's worth an ask... We have a .NET DLL that is being called from our VB6 application. The VB6 app runs in a 32 bit process so the DLL runs in the same process (it's compiled as any cpu) Therefore when I do my ODBC Database access in the DLL is will only use a 32 bit driver, as this is what it thinks it needs (for the record the DB is Pervasive PSQL)

My problem arises when the application runs on a 64 bit machine (when only the 64 bit ODBC driver is installed) as it can't find a suitable driver to use. So is there a way to force the .NET DLL to run in a 64 bit process (compiling as x64 doesn't work because register for COM Interop is not allowed) This isn't necessarily an issue at this point in time because I can install the 32 bit driver, but at some point in the future I can imagine that 32 bit driver may not be available so I will be up the proverbial creek.

Given Process Is Running, Then End A Different Process?

Sep 18, 2009

I hope the title gives a good description, i have read the forum posting tips at the top. Ive just joined the community and nice to meet you all. Anyways, I am trying to create a vb.net application for which it will check if a process is running in task manager, and if this process or processes are running to end a different process. Let me give you an example,

If processA, ProcessB is running then END ProcessC. If however ProcessA, and ProcessB are not running then ProcessC can stay active. I have started the project and am able to kill the processes etc. This is shown below.

Checking If Certain Process Is Running

Jun 27, 2010

I need to create a program that checks to see if a certain process is running, but I need to check it at a predetermined interval, such as every 10 seconds. I also need it to relaunch the program if it disappears/crashes. I have no idea where to start, I'm assuming I'd have to use a timer and write a method that checks for this process and then another method to simply launch it.

Process With An Id Of 3120 Is Not Running?

Jan 8, 2010

I am waiting for another process to finish:

Process.GetProcessById(processID).WaitForExit()

But sometimes it already ended before I even get to this line of code, so it throws an exception that the process is not running. I don't want to catch this using a try catch, but using a if statement. How can I do this?

If Process.GetProcessByID(processID).IsRunning = true then

something like that...

.net - Excel Process Continues Running?

Apr 15, 2011

I'm calling the following method from a button click event to export a datatable to excel. After the export is completed, the excel application object is quit, released and assigned to nothing. But in reality it's not getting released and stays active unless the entire application is closed. So every time the button is clicked for export, a new excel application object keeps on running. How can I solve this?

The problem doesn't occur if two of the lines from the method below are not used. But I can't omit them as they are really needed. Check the * marked lines.

Form Update While Process Is Running

I have created a porcess that manipulates large volumes of text. I have created a form that has a button that manually starts the process. I have tried to give some feedback that the process is actually progressing through the data by changing the value of text fields on the form. However the text fields do not update on the form until after the process is complete. I had this working in another program but cannot figure out what I am doing different.I use the following code to change the text.[code]

Get List Of Process Names Running?

Jun 15, 2012

I am trying to find out if an instance of an application (not vb.net) is already running - because I will want to start it but I don't want to start it if it is already running. I have found a solution to check if a process is running:

Dim proc As Integer = Process.GetProcessesByName(ProcessName).GetUpperBound(0) + 1

and return True if >=1 (or just the process number). My problem is, this is a third-party application, and its process name is not just a name but it contains a version number (which I may not know at run time), and it also seems to add a *32 (so probably a *64 if it is installed in x64 ?).

I need to get a list of running processes, by name, and test if "processname" is a substring of the name.
But I haven't been successful in getting a list of names, only process id's.

Get Object Information In A Running Process?

Jul 9, 2010

I have a vb.net application which runs as a service. I also have another Windows application that serves as the service interface.In brief the service watches some folders for new files and imports them into various databases. In the service I have an class called 'importFile' containing basic properties such as 'FileName' and 'ImportStatus'. With each new incoming file I create a new instance of 'importFile' and add it to a list object called myFiles which is of the type: List (of importFile).Currently in my service im writing a few object details (such as ImportStatus) to an XML config file which is in turn read by the service interface application. I want to expose more information from the service to the interface, and communicating via xml doesn't feel like its the most efficient method.My question is how do I expose live objects, such as 'myFiles' in my service to my interface application? I think this can be done via the Process class but all my efforts have so far failed.I'm thinking that the solution may look something like the following, but im not too sure what im doing and could be way off:
