Read/Write To Other Applications Using WPF-VB
Dec 9, 2009
Trying to emulate a typing application that when typing data in a WPF form, the info gets transferred to another application, such as notepad, word, etc. My first attempt involved using the .Sendkeys method but it doesn't seem to be repeatable 100% of the time. I initially had a button that when pressed would transfer data from a WPF app field to an open notepad app. Again, if I pressed it several times in a row, it would be hit or miss. It's like it hangs up and then after enough time, I try again and it works. I really need it to be 100%. Is there a fix for this method or should I take on a different approach? It would be ideal if I could go from notepad, word, etc. back to the WPF form as well, but I thought I would get one way working first.

I'm having difficulty figuring out how to run different programs with my VB program. Using Excel and other MS office programs is easy enough since I just add in the relevant COMs, but I can't for the life of me find out how to run other programs. I promise I spent many hours searching before bothering you kind folks here! I'd think this is a common issue so maybe I haven't been searching for the right thing.how to write code that will control and read data from applications.I know you can do "Process.Start" to open any application, and it looks like there are ways to determine the controls available on an open application, but I can't figure out how to do it. Is this possible? Or do I have to import a .dll file for every program I want to control? Or are both possible?

I would like to know how to write a "Console application" in dll form for a patch installer so that I could call it from the installers and find out the installation of a program.I have created a VB.NET class project and checked the COM Interoperation or sort of on project's property, build section.Now the main thing is on receiving parameters and returning the value. (I try to do this DLL as "all-in-one" DLL because this application is part of a bigger suite family, which means there are few others applications that requires the similar approach, and I want to avoid to re-write a dll for each application, and their respective versions.)

I am looking into writing a web-based vehicle tracking system. The framework I have in mind looks something like this:
Client application --- Database --- Database updater.
Client application: This would query the database for information and then display this information on a map.
Database: holds vehicle information such as speed, location, payload etc.
Database update: This application would need to continually check for information received from vehicles and then add that to the database.
I am confident that with my current skill set and some research and learning, I could write the client application and interface it to a database. However, I am at a loss as to how to write the database updater. Presumably, this would be an application running continually on the server, waiting for information to be received from vehicles and updating the database. Is this something I can do with ASP.NET and Visual Basic? Or would this require a different way of thinking than writing web pages?

I am trying to extend some features of a external programm that is not able to use plugins or something. So I have to write my own app that reads the text from a textbox from this external application and trigger some own actions.
By using the FindWindow API in user32.dll I allready catched up the handle for the external application. But now I am kind of stuck. By using Spy++ from the Visual Studio Tools I got the information that the class name from the control I would like to read from is "WindowsForms10.EDIT.app.0.218f99c", but there are several of them. Additionally every time the external app starts it creates a new control id for the textbox I want to read.

I am trying to extend an application to to write the details from textboxes on a invoice form to an xml file.I have created 3 methods for my invoice class which will open the invoice xml document, write to it, and close it.The open Invoice method creates and invoice.xml file and writes a start tag named invoices.
The WriteInvoice method writes an invoice element for the invoice with attribute named customerName and three child elements named ordertotal, discounTotal and Invoice total. These values are taken from the textboxes form the form.
The CloseInvoice writes the end tag for the root element(invoices) and closes the file.
I have wriiten code for these methods but can only get the open invoice method to work.
My code for the 3 methods is shown below:
Public Sub OpenInvoices()
Dim sInvPath As String = "C:MurachBeginning VB.NETExercise startsVB.NETChapter 14InvoiceInvoices.xml"
Dim InvoiceWriter As New XmlTextWriter(sInvPath, Nothing)
InvoiceWriter.Formatting = Formatting.Indented 'Set formatting of XML file

reading and writing files. Let's say I have a text file with multiple lines that I want to be read into my visual basic program. The first line is displayed in textboxA while the rest of the lines are displayed in textboxB. How do I accomplish this? Am I able to use the peek method for textboxB but somehow tell it to skip the first line? Now textboxB is obviously a multiline textbox and I want the user to be able to type something into another textbox (textboxC), press a button, and it will be displayed in textboxA. How do I make the text in textboxC get displayed on the first line of textboxA and move all the other lines down the list?

My first question has to do with the opening lines needed in a VB program in order to connect to Excel 2007 and read/write some data from/to it. I know the process only slightly and reading and writing to the cells is not my real concern for the moment. What I need to become familliar with are the lines like this:
CODE:
This is just one of the examples I have read through and to be honest I only follow this slightly. The trouble was that with each new article I read, people did this differently, not the variables on the left mind you, just that some left out lines, which I can see could be done based on circumstances. Still others said the Imports line was not needed....etc...and other loaded up at least 3 or four more Imports lines insisting all were needed.
I'm looking for some straight-forward advice on what is the minimum needed to access an existing Excel spreadhseet and to just read some of it's cells to variables in the code and then writed some data back to certain cells within the spreadsheet and then save and close it.
Also, please note that I am using VB 2010 Express. Why, because I'm a broke developer who spent most of last year out of work. I have a new contract assignment which is so far going well but will go even better if I can master this technique with VB.NET, not VBA. And all the docs I've read said that even though VB 2010 Express is a watered down version of VS, I should be able to do medium level tasks such as this with it.

Suppose I have a byte array, Private Data as Byte(). This array is private within a class. The class provides public functions for reading and writing to Data. This class can be accessed by multiple threads, so I want to avoid a situation where reading from it and writing from it don't happen at the same time.
For now, I am using SyncLock to avoid issues. Can I put SyncLock Data in just the write functions, or does it need to be in the read functions? Or, both? I don't have a specific code example in mind. I am just curious if there is any benefit to locking for both read and write functions if the writing functions' SyncLock will make writing have exclusive access to it in the first place.

my question is, is that code used properly for writing/reading those 2 files?
for some odd reason, i feel like i am over using the writers/readers.is there a way to only use one writer/reader, not 2, as my code in that thread does, to write/read 2 or more files?
