Repeat Process In VB Application?
Jan 5, 2011
I have access to the source code of a previously created app that work's as designed, but i am looking to update it for further enhance its ability. The change required may be simple in thought and also in design.Basically the app allows you to read in a data file a confirm the data file is in the correct format.Details fo the data file. All lines of the file are 120 characters long. If they are not then there will be an error returned. The fields within the lines have different properties and vaules and the validation on these fileds and lines work perfectly.
1. The first line of the file is always known as a descriptive ( header record ).
2. The next line will outline a detail record. The could be hundreds of these lines.
3. Finally there is a file total record.
A file could be four lines in total or 40000 lines in total. As mentioned the app works when there is one header and total record.I am looking to see if it can be modified.My intention is to merge multiple data files into a single file. There in lies the problem. There is a line in the code as per below.
Do While Not EOF(1)
As far as i can tell this means to go to the end of the file. When there are more than on set of data , there are errors messages generated because the code is looking only for one set of header and trailer records. As mentioned when there is one set of header total records , the apps will validate the file and return any error messages.What i think i need to do is insert another loop/s that say's read data between the header record and the trailer record , if there are any errors display it , then go to the next header / trailer records and display and errors , and continue to do so until you reach then EOF.

I'm trying to make a mastermind game program with visual basic. I started of creating the combination maker for the start of the game. Hoever, in my version i don't want any colors to repeat. I used the random function independently to get numbers from 1 to 6. Each number has a corresponding color. The problem, the values still repeat sometimes.
Here's my code for that part:
Randomize
a = Fix(Rnd * 6) + 1
txtA = a
If a = 1 Then

How do I (programmatically) find out the key repeat delay and key repeat rate for a system?
A solution that works on any/all .Net capable platforms would be ideal, but the key target OSes would be XP, Vista, and 7.

I am looking for a VB.net book that strings me through the entire development process of an application (Prefered: WPF ,LINQ ,ADO). I have read a few books on OOP and VB.net with small code samples demonstrating the specific idea of the chapter.I think it would be really helpful if there was a book that programmed an entire application that uses a sql database (Northwind , Adventureworks).

I'm using Process.Start method to launch another application from my application. Until today, there was no problem. But I have tested my application in a different OS, Windows XP (SP3), and my application didn't work right on that. I'm also using arguments to run that application. I guess for some reason my application couldn't send arguments to other application correctly under Windows XP. Maybe it is related to my code. But you should know, it works great on Windows 7.

I have written a windows service that is meant to launch a notepad when a specific action happens. The problem i have is that even though the service launches notepad, the actual notepad it self is NOT visible. I know that it has been launced because i can see the process in the task manager. By the way the process is listed as a SYSTEM process rather than a process under my user name (i believe that is because my process is a "LocalSystem" one).

I want to add a process to my application, the process should be started to listen some events when the application run. I searched in Internet, and I didn't find answers... Some people said that could use "Application.Run", but I didn't find this function in VB.NET project.

When a button is clicked,my program gets the list of all Drives on a current computer.Then I use String.Concat to merge the drive letter and the rest of the path.So I get something like: "C:" + "somefoldersomefile.some_extension"That creates a full path to a file I am looking for.Then I check if that file exists.If it doesn't exist,I use Process.Start to run the setup file(to install the program I need).It works well and installs the program I need.I want my application,after the installation is finished,to check again if the program is installed and ofcourse confirm that it is.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim DriveList As String() = Directory.GetLogicalDrives()
Dim Drive, FullPath, Path1 As String
Dim EmptyDrives As Integer

I'm having troubles with terminating an application. When I close the main form everything disappears but the process remains active. I think I know the cause, a certain activeX component will not release properly. As soon as I create one, I can't close normally...
dim someActiveXcomponent = new X()
...
<formClosing>
someActiveXcomponent = nothing
GC.Collect()
GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers ' here it hangs
Probably a bug in that component, but the problem is that I don't have much of a choice, I'll have to use that component for now.
Calling
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComO bject( myObject )
will kill the reference and now the application closes properly.

I have a vb application(1) which is made to launch another software(2) with specified parameters, but i wanna keep my application opened as long as the 2nd one is opened too, and I also want to close the second one automatically if mine has been force closed by the user in windows taskmanager, on the desktop, or in any way.
So I need something which detects if windows is closing the program and kill the second application auto.
I would like to avoid the task manager block, because that isn't necessary for this i guess.

I have a (in my eyes) complicated issue. I need to process a Word document and print it with an ASP.NET application. There will be certain variables in the document. We would like to indicate these between brackets, i.e. {name}.
Is it possible to fill up these variables before printing? In what direction should I look?

How can I set focus on other application based on process name in VB2010?
What I can do now is set focus on other application based on windows name using FindWindow then use SetForegroundWindow. Below is what I currently have[code]...
The problem is that FindWindow need exact windows name to works and I don't always know the exact name. (Because my program open up different website that the user enter, so I have no control over they site they open). So is there anyway that I can set focus using the process name instead? (in this case firefox.exe)

I am creating an application for learning purposes. I am using this: process.start("iexplore.exe"); That is working fine. However I would like to be able to tell when the page has been loaded all the way. I would like to know how to tell if the application is done processing or not, that is my main goal. If using the webbrowser control you can use the webbrowser documentcompleted event.

I have an application that starts one of two external CAD applications depending upon the extension of a file in a ListView. I have been able to start up the application to view the file selected without a problem. I also have a seperate print click event for printing the file that opens the viewer application in the background and prints the file. This works perfectly for one of the CAD viewers but when I select a file that requires the other viewer application to print I get a Win32 exception and an error message stating that the file is not associated with any application and it cannot be opened. This of course is rediculous as it opens fine in the "View File" click event that opens the viewer to check the drawing.
One rather strange observation is that the CAD viewer that does print the associated file will launch the other CAD viewer application (that is associated with the other file extensions) when the "View" click event is handled even though I had not incuded the code to execute the process to start the viewer for that type of file. I realize this rather convoluted and may lie in the ProcessStartInfo arguments that I pass to the application.
Here's a code snippet:
Private Sub PrintFinGoods_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles PrintFinGoods.Click
Dim message As String = "No application is associated with file"
Dim source_exception As New Exception

Using OpenFiledialog I can access a file. Is there a way that I can include a specific file in the code? This would allow me to access the file directly without the selection process and the application would always use that same file.

Can somebody form an idea on how to architect a web application which will kick start an independent process in the server which can perform data uploading function from flat file to Oracle table. This independent process should keep running until it finishes its job regardless of the web application's sign out or timeout issues. The client is a .aspx page which uploads the data file to server and then triggers the independent process in the server.I want to implement this in ASP.NET, VB.NET, VS 2003.

I am looking for a bit of inspiration here, a client has requested me to build a simple remote process monitoring application with capability for smtp notification, when monitored processes go down or come back on-line. Can anyone point me in the direction of some sample code to get me started. I have briefly looked at .net remoting as a potential development path, from my understanding of how this works, the remoting architecture would require both a client and remote server component, (though I am not a 100% sure on this one), however if this is the case, then it will not fit the bill, as one of the fundamental requirements is that no additional software can be deployed on the servers which are to be monitored

I'm writing an application that runs with the RequiereAdministrator flag enabled, but this application needs to launch some processes with the regular user privileges. Processes are "inheriting" the privileges from its creator, but they should have the regular user permission. I mean, they should revert back to the "asInvoker" flag, without it being overriden by the 'parent' process.
