Make A Simple Program Shell?
May 4, 2009
I'm trying to make a per-user shell for a Vista box to simplify use of a particular system for my users. I have no problem making a program that I want to use and I am familiar with the process of editin the registry to make my program the users shell but I've run into a snag.
Whenever a user with the custom shell logs on, there is a delay just after they enter their password where the system will sit at "Preparing Desktop" for about 30 seconds. I know for a fact that the user desktop is already made and this shouldn't be taking that long.
I've poked around on the web and see various places saying that winlogon is waiting for the shell to flag a "shell ready" flag of some sort but I am unfamiliar with any such flag.
Anyone know of such a fix for the long login time or anything about a shell ready flag?

I'm going to attempt to make a shell replacement for the Windows default shell: explorer.exe. I'm not sure if its possible using Vb.Net, but I can't seem why not. My end goal is to use a custom made shell for a Windows Preinstallation Environment instead of the default command prompt. I plan to use a 3rd party program to compile the program with the .NET Framework. Otherwise, it wouldn't work because Windows PE does not support the .NET Framework.

I haven't touched VB or Visual Studio in an incredibly long time, so I appologize if this sounds ignorant.
Right now, my application (pictured below) is a simple button that executes a shell command. I was thrilled that I even managed that, but it got me to wondering if my application could execute that command, rather than sending the process to cmd.exe.

I just have a simple vb.net website that need to call a Sub that performs a very long task that works with syncing up some directories in the filesystem (details not important).
When I call the method, it eventually times out on the website waiting for the sub routine to complete. However, even though the website times out, the routine eventually completes it's task and all the directories end up as they should.
I want to just prevent the timeout so I'd like to just call the Sub asynchronously. I do not need (or even want) and callback/confirmation that it ran successfully.[code]...

I am trying to make a very simple program that connects to a MySQL database using VB.NET. My program only has one form and one label. I setup my MySQL database to have a table and one field (a VARCHAR)called "Tab1". I manually inserted the value "CLOSED" into the Tab1 field using PHPMyAdmin. I want my program to change the value of the field to OPEN/CLOSED and I also want the label text on my form to change too when it's clicked.

I was wanting to make a simple client-server program.I saw some code for it and it was easy to understand but it was with winsock.
The program is:
Client: Clicks button.
Server: Recieves Text written in clients textbox.
Is there a reasonably easy way to do this?Maybe Net.Sockets or something similar?

I am trying to make a simple program to convert ascii in its code format
Example: Chr(53) & Chr(53) & Chr(54) & Chr(100) & Chr(52)
to a readable format. I understand that this can be easily accomplished by writing in the ascii code into the code will do it but I am trying to create a more interactive method of doing it so I can copy and paste a long length of code into a textbox and have it update a label with the conversion.

Im learning Visual Basic 2010 on my programming class and we reached the part of file handling. Here i tried to make a simple program that can create a text file with the content of what i type on the textbox, basically i create the file if it doesn't exist, and if it already exists i append the content to it. Once the file is saved i can read it using the "Open" button. Unfortunataly, whenever i try to create the file, the compiler gives me an error saying that it cannot modify a closed file, although i've followed up the execution instruction by instruction and i can't find the error.
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1
Dim body As String

I'm launching an Access ADE, using Tony Toews auto FE program. The AutoFE programs will, if newer version available, copy the latest version of the ADE from the server, then launch it. My code looks like:
Dim stAutoFE As String = "V:Appsautofestartmdb.exe /cmd /inifile: " & """" & "V:AppsAutoFESSP.ini" & """"
Shell(stAutoFE, AppWinStyle.Hide, True)
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000) ' Time delay
[code]....
I had to put the Sleep delay in, otherwise the GetObject would open the ADE a second time.But I don't know how long the copy from the server will take, so I need to remove that Sleep line and check that the ADE has opened.

So, let's say that I have a VBA application inside of whatever Office Application. I have created a command-line VB.net program to do all of the fun web-services stuff.Okay, the VBA application calls Shell() to run the command line program. Now, what is the best way to get information (a tracking number for a package) from the VB.net program back into the VBA program?

I have the following problem. I have a worker in VB .net (2010) which runs a shell-program. The shell program is a service and output stuff like:
Server initializing...
Server opening port...
more info...
I am able to 'catch' the output of the shell and add it to a textbox (using set text function). And I am able to Cancel the worker by clicking on a stopbutton, however when there is no more output by the shell I cannot stop the worker anymore. At least I suspect that's the case. I've tried checking for endofstream (commented section) but that doesn't work. I've also tried to same code with some test text in stead of 'clsProcess.StandardOutput.ReadLine' and that also works. So I came to the conclusion it must have something to do with clsProcess.StandardOutput.ReadLine being at the end?
Try
clsProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False
clsProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True
clsProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = True
clsProcess.StartInfo.FileName = serverpath + config_executable
[Code] .....

I am using this statement
CODE:
The command procedure calls a Java program that opens a dialog box, the cmd and java exe shows up in task manager, so I know it is being called, but no dialog box. I know normally having anything show up on a server that requires user interaction is a bad idea, but in the case, the users remote into the server to do their work. (They have to because of the environment) So, there is no problem with them being able to respond to a dialog box. I just need it to show up.
(I cannot rewrite the Java program as the latest source is not the right version) Running, Framework 2.0, 3.5.

I am trying to make a simple web browser in Visual Basic 2008 (with Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition) that uses the Gecko engine via a tool called GeckoFX and the XULrunner's dll's and resources.About GeckoFX - geckofx - Project Hosting on Google Code The book I am learning VB with hasn't covered this aspect yet but I almost have it all set up - this is just a side project I decided to play with because it looked really easy.
The Problem:
[code]...
I have downloaded both the GeckoFX package and the XULrunner package and unzipped them and placed the GeckoFX folder and the XULrunner folder in C drive.I have right clicked Choose Item in the toolbar and chosen the GeckoWebBrowser control to use in my form app.I know the path to the XULrunner runtime is C:xulrunner My browser only has the windows form with a text box, a button and the GeckoWebBrowser control.Now I need to set the call for the uxlrunner startup path where it needs to be. I have read that if I right click the project in Solution Explorer, I should see this option under properties.. but I do not see anyplace to do this
