Remote Automation Control For Two Devices?
Jan 22, 2010
I have 2 devices
An old IPAQ Pocket PC that runs Windows Mobile 4.2
A Mini-ITX PC Running XP
My IPAQ connects to my network via wireless. My Mini-ITX PC is going to have an IR-Blaster setup which is going to control all my devices. What I would like to do is create a small controller program that runs on my IPAQ and a back end program on my Mini-ITX PC, so that when a particular control is selected on my IPAQ it sends the signal to my program on the Mini-ITX PC which inturns sends the correct IR signal to the device in question.

I am creating an application for my own use in Vb.net to auto fill forms and submit the form (log in) to various websites....(bank sites, credit cards etc..the require a login)
I am using the webbrowser control on my windows form and I can sucessfully populate the controls on the form (userid, password etc), by setting the value property of the HTML Form Element using... HtmlDocument.GetElementsByTagName("Input").
My problem is that I cannot click the login button via code, sometimes it's an image and sometimes it's an actual button depending on the site that I'm auto logging in to, in both cqases the end result should me submitting the form.

I'd like Visual Basic .net (2008) to control another program using OLE automation but I read somewhere in the net (link below) that it's not available in VB .net. How to use VB .net to control that program? The company that own the program stated that it can only be controlled using OLE automation and they made available some functions to do that.

I try to develop a automation-add-in for Excel which can get some data from our SQL DB. So i call my add from an Excel-cell.. like "=getThisFromDb()"... This works totally fine! But what if i want to write to another cell then just give a return value? I managed to get the running instance of excel. I can read from it. I can open a new document in it and write to it. ->> But can't write to the Worksheet that called me!!

I need to have a PC talk to a Mac (apple) over a network (or alternately the internet, SSH, whatever works) in such a way as to open a shell window on the Mac to execute a number of commands to have it talk to a UNIX box and transfer files from a device attached to the Mac to the UNIX box where it can then be accessed later on in an shared area (SAMBA) by the PC.
The Mac has a fixed IP and I can have it configured to open the appropriate ports, but I would like to minimize any potential security issues.
Part of the reason why is the copy time is significantly lower. Copying from the PC to the shared area takes over 90 minutes vs about 10 for the Mac. No doubt this has to do in part to translation and network overhead.
So I need to
1) Connect
2) Open Shell window
3) Execute commands
4) exit Shell window
5) Disconnect.

The plan that i have come up with, is that i am currently in the process of building a Tesla coil, and would like it to be 100% USB controlled, however, in case i mess up ( =p ) i don't want to be anywhere near the controlling computer, so here is the setup:
I Have An Old Dell Computer 800mhz processor - 256mb Ram running tinyxp, which will soon be wireless networked. . . that is going to have a "USBThingie" USB DI/O control board which will switch my relays, and then at my main control station will be my laptop with a wireless router on an ad-hoc network with the other computer. . .
What i want to be able to do is have some host software that i make be running on the Dell, which will be the main code to control my USBThingie, and then on my laptop have a remote control code to control the code on the Dell, however, i am not sure how i would go about doing this.

I have written an automation addin in Excel with C# (addin.dll). To use the addin, I need to 1. register it using "regasm /codebase c:...addin.dll"2. select in ExcelOptionsAddInsExcel AddinsAutomation the respective addin from the list
I would like to automatize 1) and 2), so that the user just needs to run an exe-file in order to use the addin. 1) should be no problem, but how can one automatize 2)?

Ok basically what I need to do is the following:Read FirstExcelDoc (attached)For every row in that: Retrieve data from sql server db based on info in the Orange columns of FirstExcelDoc Let's say I retrieved data elements A, B, C, D, and E from sql server. Then I need to enter those same data elements A, B, and C in another excel spreadsheet (which has formulas etc) After inputing A, B, and C in that spreadsheet, read a couple of calculated fields and compare those results to data elements D and E retrieved originally from SQL Server DB. Finally, output the results in the Blue columns of the FirstExcelDoc spreadsheet for that row.Loop through and do the same thing for row 2 of the FirstExcelDoc and keep on until you see "END TEST" in the FirstExcelDoc.
I'm looking for a method of doing this efficiently. I have read several articles over the past few days as well as those from Mike R. but just need some direction to get started on this.To start of I'm looking for whether to read the entire FirstExcelDoc spreadsheet or just read the info for first policy number(2nd row) and process it and write out the blue column info for that row and then loop through and come back and read the second policy number (3rd row) etc... Please attach a code snippet for either way of reading the data.

I'm using excel via interop in application.Sometimes users kill application that created excel instance and that results in excel instance sitting in memory without any chance of disposing it.First I tried to tackle this using ROT(running object table) looks like not all instances of excel are registered there.Than I tried to somehow mark excel process after it is started via interop.[code]This works as long as excel is visible but in my case excel window is invisible.All I need is to somehow mark process that started via automation with the parent PID, so that later I can kill it if parent does not exist.

I have successfully automated a PowerPoint Metrics presentation with VB.Net. However, since there were many complicated calculations, it took quite some time to make the 120+ slide presentation - so I recently tried to revamp the application to be multi-threaded.

I've got VS2008 and Office2010, but I don't have Office2007. Therefore, I have the Word14 Object Library but not the Word12 Object Library. Will the code that I create for Office2010 automation also work where clients only have Office2007 or will they have to upgrade their office suites?

I need some pointers on which .NET technology to use for a project I'm working on. I'm building a "dashboard" digital signage WPF program that will display various things on a large monitor mounted high up in the ceiling of my office.What I need to be able to do is control certain aspects of this program from my desktop. For example, there will be a TV window in the application with signal being provided by a TV tuner on the mini-computer connected to the monitor in the ceiling. What I want to be able to do is make a remote control to be able to change the channel etc. I'm confused at what technology to use. I've read about remoting, WCF, and simple TCPclient classes but I'm confused at which one would be better. I'm thinking it may be better to use WCF because what I think I need to do is make a function that will change the channel and accept channel numbers, etc from the remote control program. Am I on the right path?

We have a vb program which is run on our server by scheduled task every day. The program opens about 30 excel files, refreshes the data connections, pivot tables and then saves the document in another location.
This may run fine for a couple days but sooner or later the process starts crashing, usually with this error: RPC_E_SERVERFAULT.
My question is, Is it expected that continually opening/closing/refreshing workbooks will inevitably cause the Excel object to crash at some point.

I'm having an issue where my excel.exe process doesn't close until I close my .net application. I'd like to avoid using Process.Kill() if at all possible.
Code:
Private Sub WriteRowsToXls(ByVal rows As DataRowCollection, ByVal xlsPath As String, ByVal showStatus As Boolean, Optional ByVal AddTotals As Boolean = True)
Dim xlsApp As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application
[CODE]............
This method references a couple of other methods I use for repeated formatting tasks, I'll include those methods below. (I added the FinalReleaseComObject into the other methods after reading Mike's thread but the issue persists)
Code:
Private Sub SetRangeValidation(ByVal rng As Range)
With rng.Validation
.Delete()
[CODE]..............
Method SetRangeAllBorders does about the same as these other methods but my post is too long to add it. The only other things not shown in these code snippets are a few string variable that are defined in the class, studentWS, studentsWSPW, paymentsWS and paymentsWSPW My App creates an instance of the class, loads some data, runs the method above, and then sets the class to nothing.

This might seem a ridiculous question but I just want to make 100% sure before I start committing any funds to software purchases. Can I use VB2008to develop automation routines to control Office2010 applications or must I absolutely use VB2010 to do so?I ask this because I installed an Office 2010 pro on my station which already has VB2008 and I do not have any Word14 reference in the COM section of the list of references...
