I am running an exe program from VB (Visual Studio 2005). This exe program accepts 3 parameters.I am passing the first parameter as a string and the next 2 as parameters from the Sub. However, the exe program treats all of them as string. I tried to use "&" and "+" between arguments and got the same results.[code]...
View 4 Repliesive been trying to use VB.Net to open a program with parameters, it works fine when i use a shortcut but i just cant get it to work with VB.Net i think it has something to do with a parameter like this "--user=test".Heres the arguments and ive already tried using String.Format()
Dim CMD As New Process
CMD.StartInfo.FileName = "C: est.exe"
CMD.StartInfo.Arguments = "--user=test --pass=test -o test -p 1025 -d0 --verbose -f 60"
[code]....
I need to pass a file's name as an argument and a switch to the executable I'm using.I'm doing it like this:
vb.net
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = "-z ""C: est.txt"""
I'll know where the files are that I need to grab, but I won't always know the exact names. So, I thought I could grab a collection of the files, store them in a variable, and then pass them as an argument.I tested it with one file like this:
vb.net
Dim File As New System.IO.FileInfo("C:...Desktop est.txt") Dim proc As New Process proc.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = "..." proc.StartInfo.FileName = "....exe" proc.StartInfo.Arguments = "-z" & File & "additional arugments" proc.Start() proc.WaitForExit()
But, as you all may already know, I can't use the & operator with a string and FileInfo.Would I have to then convert the FileInfo to a string first and then pass it through?
I'm trying to use a string variable in StartInfo.Arguments of a process, but can't figure out the correct syntax.

I'm trying to write a VB.net utility that launches microsoft word and prints a document then closes the word window. My code works fine:
Dim MyProcess As New Process
MyProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
MyProcess.StartInfo.Verb = "print"
[code]....
The problem is I cannot for the life of me figure out a way to tell Microsoft Word which printer to send the document to. It always goes to the default printer which wont work as I need to be able to programmatically determine the printer to use.
I'm using VB.Net to launch multiple command line window (same exe file) through Process.StartInfo. I would like to have those windows running at background without hanging main UI thread that launch them and at the same time able to get the output of those external window to show progress at progress bar.Here is a summary of what I'm trying to achieve but need further advise which way is feasible
- launch multiple exe command through Process.StartInfo
- don't want the external exe to hang my main UI thread
- need to get feedback from external exe to update progress bar which is placed at main UI thread
I don't know where the extra character 'N' is coming from, there should only be one parameter coming from my SP which is the ID:

[code]....
When I ran the SQL Profiler, I found this:

Well I am a new to VB.NET, converting a legacy system to .NET world. Recently I have been reviewing the already existing code since I joined the project quite late in the team. I find that there are many shared functions (not shared class) inside many classes. I doubt this may create some problem if two requests ( i.e two different HTTP request to the same method as it's a WCF application, of course exposed methods are not shared but internally called methods are shared) comes to the same shared method and both the calls to the method may have different method parameters/arguments, overwriting each other's arguments. In short, if shared method has a list of arguments which is going to be processed, is there any chance of inconsistencies in the light of multiple access to the shared method via two http requests.
View 2 Replieshow to send a procedure call to a Command Button.
What I would like to do is have one button be able to call any number of other sub routines when needed. In other words...the app is running and I need it to stop so the user can either read information presented...or make choices...then click the CONTINUE button to pick up where the app left off. However, I need this to happen many times across several forms and modules.

im trying to make a little app that you can run from a web address bar... some games we play has that function in the game but some dont... so i found some source code online on how to insert data into registry and i can launch the game from a web browser address bar... BUT i need to pass another argument path to game\game.exe -mod:"modname here" -server:"server ip here":"server port here" -noautoplay now i can get it to load with path to game\game.exe -server:%Host%:%Port% -noautoplay some code from the app....
Dim u As New Uri(args(0))
Dim arguments As String = reg.GetValue("HeatLinkArguments").ToString()
arguments = arguments.Replace("%Authority%", u.Authority)

I have an application which sits on general users machines. What I want to be able to do is for the users to create a new directory through the application that will create a directory on a server that they do not have access to for secutiry reasons. Then the users can create a file within the new folder through the application, again which they do not have access to. The whole idea is to have an application that manages files that are able to be accessed by many users through the application / backend database, and therefore we do not want the user to be able to manipluate the folder / files by mapping to the location. Then if the user wants to work on the file he requests it through the application which then copies it locally to their machine.
The way that I can see this working is by having a service running on the server that has access to create folders and files in this location. The user can then request the creation of a folder / file through the application which then instructs the service to create the folder / file.
Is there anyway that I can pass arguments directly into the service on the server, or would I have to create an entry in a database on the server that the service is monitoring and then performs the request?2a. If I do have to have the service monitoring the database if I make the service check this every second will this slow the server down and will the server guys at a company be OK with this running this quick?I also need to be able to let the user know through my application that the folder / file has been created successfully, therefore what is the best way to do this? Again get the service to write to the database that the request has been completed? If this is the case then my app will have to poll the database continually to check the database that the request has been completed, this could slow the application down?

how to use Visual Basic to pass arguments to an application after said application was started. Example, "myapp.exe -d" enables debug mode, I want to be able to start myapp.exe then have a checkbox labeled "Debug mode" in Visual Basic. Upon "Debug Mode" being checked, it passes the argument -d to myapp.exe. Upon it being unchecked, it withdraws that argument from myapp.exe.
