Program Closes But Still Runs In Processes?
Apr 8, 2011
I have made a program that has an intro screen, moving onto an activity select screen which acts as the main interface to get around the program. After creating the program and installing it on my computer, when I close the program from the activity select screen, using the "X" at the top right corner, the program continues to run under "processes" in the task manager.If I close the program from the intro screen though, it will close everything, including the processes. Is there anyway I can get the same to happen with the game select screen? I can make it work by putting my own "End" button on the form, but id prefer to be able to do it with forms own close button.

Ok, so the PDF problem was traced back to when I would close the test build. When I would close my app via Me.Close the Adobe.exe was still an active process.
I have several forms that include multiple PDFs. I need to ensure that the Adobe.exe process is terminated during the exiting of my applications.
How is this accomplished or is there another way?

I'm looking for a more elegant way to work around a problem I have
Code:
Private Sub MnuCheckForUpdates_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MnuCheckForUpdates.Click
Dim startInfo As New ProcessStartInfo(mStartUpPath & "" & "Updater.exe")
Process.Start(startInfo)
End Sub
As you can see I�m calling my updater program, but I want some code to run only after the Updater has closed.My work around was to:
A - Initially load the updater.
B � Start a time
C � Check if the updater is still running.
D � If its not call the routine in the timer event.
But this is not elegant is there another way around this, I can call events in the updater but I don�t think I can join them in someway to ProcessStartInfo Class .

I'm working on program that has two forms. The main form is called 'frmMain'. Second form is called 'FrmHistory'. In the History form, you can check a number of combo boxes to set settings for a grid.
This works.Now, when I close the FrmHistory form and then open it again, I have it so those combo boxes (Settings) are how I left them. This works. I do so via this.

Ok, So I am making a front-end for a program, and it runs the exe with command line arguments. One of those arguments is creating a log file that tells me who the winner is. Currently I have code that runs the app, tell VB when it exits and then does another event. When testing with message box as the other event, works fine.
When running the System.IO.Streamreader the app just closes down on its own and there are no errors shown.

Does anybody know if it's possible to make your program 'self-destruct' (delete itself) when it closes? I know this sounds like malware, but it's not. What happens is the user clicks 'install', the application copies itself to another directory, then the application starts the new copied file, with an argument that begins the installation, kills itself, and then the copied application restarts and then it's done. But I can't get rid of the original executable.

how you would go about saving information(username, password, security questions) in a notepad, so it can be retrieved after a program closes. i'm making a log in program in my class, but we haven't done this, so when the program closes, everything is gone. rather annoying, to have to make a accounts each time i'm testing it.

I have a VB program that displays a PDF file. When the program is closed it takes 30 seconds or so before AcroRd32 process releases the PDF file. In certain circumstances if the program is restarted with in this period, the PDF file does not display. The specific circumstances is that I have a second program (re)starting the program that displays the PDF file.
a) Make the PDF file be immediately released when my program closes
b) When the PDF file is loaded test that it properly loaded so that it can be reloaded if necessary.

I created a program in MS Visual Web Developer 2010. It has a form that simply launches a script that manipulates a database. The project lives in several files and they are all inherited so they see each other and it accesses a MSSQL Express DB on one of our servers.
When I F5-Run the project locally on my PC it works fabulously. When I copy it to a web-enabled (application) folder on the server it executes but almost my very first line of code fails with this error[code]...
