Opening/closing External Programs?
Jun 15, 2009
I want to make a program where I can open a program, and my vb program starts with it. My VB program will then use a timer to count to an hour, and then close out of both programs. So i started experementing with things and this is what i came up with:Dim myprocess As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe")
That opens my program fine, but I dont know how to close it from there. Also I want my vb program to start automaticaly, not hit a button and my other program shows up.

I am making a program that edits my website with the input that I put in. But, it is requiring multiple forms (obviousily), but I don't know how to make it close the one I am in while opening the other. For example: I have a form that opens first that requires a Username and Password, so nobody can obviousily use it without knowing them. When I submit the correct username and password and go on with the editing, I need the login form to close. I do not know the coding for this part. Is it:

well I want it to look like this: [Textbox] [Browse] [Start] So you click browse, find the exe file, click ok(or something like that) and then click start I also want to make it so it saves the location of the last exe file it started, so you dont have to browse for it every time you use the program.

I am writing a program that stores filenames, along with a lot of information about the files in a database. I need to be able to open these files in three different programs from my application. One of these programs, AutoCAD is the default program for the files, but the other two are more difficult. These two need to open the file in a program that is not the default for the file type. Eventually, I'd also like to allow users to point the application to the instance of AutoCAD, MasterWorks, or FeatureCAM that they want to open. I have found articles that explain how to open a file in a default application and articles that tell me how to open any application with a file name, but only 1 suggestion of how to control the program used to open the file. For some reason I cannot get AutoCAD to recognize the file I feed in if I use this method though, so I think it's wrong. This is the method I found that doesn't work:
Start("D:Program Files (x86)AutoCAD 2007acad.exe", file)file is a variable that contains my file name. Since this works fine when I take the program path out, I know the filename is correct, but AutoCAD says it is not.

I am wanting to create a simple program that monitors what programs are opening and if necessary close one or two. I would also like to know if it is possible to get the window title (using a simple function/sub) and check with a stored list of programs,
whether that particular program is allowed to be open and if so before the program can be opened a password dialog will appear asking the user to enter the defined password in order to continue opening the program. Is this possible? Also should the password entered not match up, the program/process will not be allowed to open and will be closed/cancelled.
some code or point to the part of the microsoft site that has information on getting window titles and how to close current programs open etc

When connecting to a Sybase ASE database via ODBC using the code below, I'll occasionally get a '[IM006] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed' error. this be caused by my code? I read here that I should be using the 'With' statement instead, but I don't understand how that would affect this.

I got stuck up with one issue of inventory/stock calculations and put my problem in four threads and grasped some ideas and thoughts for that. But could not find SQL query for this issue in those threads. i am able to construct SQL query for stock/inventory calculations. Since I could not find any SQL query as an example on this issue inspite of spending a lot of time and search, deifinitely there might be so many examples but i was unable to reach them, so after constructing this query i wanted to share my humble effort with all. It may be a second thought for beginners like me having the same problem.The second purpose of placing this query here is to welcome improvement or alternate of this query.

I have created a splash screen and it fades in. When the splash screen closes, the main form (MDI) should open. The main form opens but then immediately closes.
vb
Public Class frmSplash
Private Sub frmSplash_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
'Open the MDI form.
frmMain.Show()

Finally starting some coding in VB.Net, I notice over the years, that we can say (in VB6)
Code: Dim MyForm_Stock as NEW frmStock
in the same session, being able to open, say 3 Stock Forms at the same time and maintain details independently of each of the other forms. Also am I able to maintain separate Database connections and the same table being opened and updated independently of each other by each separate form. What is actually taking place in terms of memory being used by each process? My ultimate goal is to be able to have ONE Module with all the possible data Connection and Recordset Opening and closing options, which I have failed miserably to do in my VB6 experience. Data access is an obvious module based set of subroutines. Others could be Date routines eg, Week Number of the year, Days Diff, Days to, etc. [Code]

It is my goal to write a program to run a retail store. I am an intermediate Access developer, so I have a good grasp of the basics.However, I find that developing in VB 2010 is quite different.I will have forms for:
Company Information
Employee Information
Supplier Information
Customer Information
Invoices & Purchase Orders
All I really need to know at this point is the code to open and close each form.

I am sure this can be done, as Visual Studio is basically built this way. What I want to do is simply make a class that my other workmates can use. But rather than have it in a code form, I want to build it (partially), and then my workmate can add it into their programs (sort of, like the add reference for the .NET stuff).

Form1 is a mdi container. It has a bunch of forms that can load inside of it as mdi children. If I close each open form inside the form1, and then click the red X at the top right, application exits fine.If I click the red X without closing the forms inside I get: An unhandled exception of type 'System.CannotUnloadAppDomainException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
Additional information: Error while unloading appdomain. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131015) However I can break from it. How do I get the application to not show that error? What must I do to fix those inside forms or close when the red x is clicked?

Dim frm As Form
For Each frm In Forms
Set frm = Nothing
Next frm
The above code is what I used in VB6 to close all forms associated with my programs before my program closed. I have been searching for information on how to make sure all forms are closed when closing a VB2008 program.
I have seen info on using the Project Property Shutdown mode When startup form closes and I currently have this set.
Is this all that is really necessary? Will the garbage disposal close everything else to free up RAM?
Also, if I have several forms open and want to close all from the main form without closing each one individually, what is the best approach? Is there a collection like in VB6, go through the collection, compare it to the name of the main form and close it if it is not the main form?

When you've finished a program and you're trying to distribute it to the mass public. How is the best way to go about doing this? What sites would you post your program on and getting the word out that there is a new program on the block and it does xyz. This is directed to freeware so there wouldn't be any advertising.
Sorry for not explaining it very well the first time.

I wanted to know if it is possible to Zip a folder without any external dll nor any external references - just with native features.I've been able to Zip files with System.IO.Packaging, but it does not include folders and I cannot tell it to Zip the parent folder.I know there are external dll and so, but I'd like to know if it's possible to make it from a native way.
