- how can i run powershell scripts with arguments from VB

I would like to be able to read a column of numbers from an Access database into a VB.NET program and then manipulate that data.For example I have a column of numbers and want to add them up and then take the averageThe maths is not a problem but how do I read the column of data into the program. I know how to do this if I first export the Access data into a CSV file, but

I hope someone can help with a very frustrating problem I'm trying to solve in one of our Windows Forms apps written in Visual Basic 2005 and running on Windows XP SP3.
The app is essentially quite simple in concept but there is lots of code and data, however, the problem does show itself consistently. The app does the following:
1) Startup
2) Choose Access database to load data from
3) Load the data into memory as a series of collections of objects
4) Do lots of number crunching
5) Fails when entering a particular sub for the first time with an Access Violation Exception
The most difficult aspect of this problem is it only shows itself when compiled in Release mode. It doesn't show itself when running in Debug mode either within Visual Studio or running outside Visual Studio. I assume this is due to the extra 'padding' in a debug exe which is masking the effect of bad code causing the error. The problem is made worse in that the 'standard' build target machine where the problem shows itself only has a copy of Visual Basic 2005 Express so as a result I have been debugging the app at runtime using WinDbg which is tricky but sort of fun (for a nerd!).
I have read / researched extensively on the internet for solutions and as a result have tried the following but all without success:
a) checked for any badly declared DLLs (p/invoke) but the app doesn't use a single one.
b) checked for any COM references / interop. There were two references which were rarely used so I removed them and commented out the code that referenced them but the exception was still raised.
c) I've tried adding my own trace code in the problem area and the line prior to calling the Sub runs but the first line of the Sub never executes due to the Access Violation exception being raised.
d) I have used WinDbg to set breakpoints around the problem area at runtime which has confirmed 'c' above that the sub never executes.
e) I have used WinDbg to double check the addresses of the parameters passed into the Sub are correct as they seem to correctly point to the same address as the local / module level variable that was passed in.
f) I have checked all of the extensive data loading is not eg leaving DataReader objects open etc.
g) I have tried compiling the code in VS 2008 on a different machine targeting the 2.0 framework but the bug still showed itself.
I am in process of writing a setup program that will reside in a USB stick.After inserting the Stick the VB2008E program starts (dont know how) and guides the technician to do certain tasks. As a part of this She/He needs to run a Setup.exe that resides in the same USB stick.
1- How do I define the drive letter of this USB stick.
2- How do I run the x:Setup.exe program without exiting the VB2008? The install process should begin after click of a button.
3- Would Autorun work on USB drives to run the program automaticaly?
4- How do I compile to make a single EXE file at the end?
I need a small app that randomly shuffles a set of preloaded numbers. The shuffling will be visible on the screen and goes on continuously (looping) until a key is pressed and as soon as that happens it will show the winning number.Am using visual basics 2008 to develop the application but my problem is when i start the app and hit a key it will loop through my numbers on the text file and it will also display the event but if i hit a key to stop it will not stop..I was workin on the app but my problem is how to stop the loop and resume on the with a keypress. below is the app codes.
Dim Running As Boolean = False Sub ReadAccounts() Dim arr As New ArrayList arr.Add("1366-665885-666-22650")[code]....
I am trying to run powershell script from VB and I want to see the output of the script as it is running inside a console application. With my script (shown below) when I run from powershell it shows "Command Sleep Starting" and then waits for 5 seconds and then displays the other text.
However, when I run from VB.NET program, the execution waits for 5 seconds and dumps all the text output at once. It doesn't execute first Write-Output command and then wait and then output as it should.[code]...
I am writing a program and want to run the program from the cd drive rather than installing it. What I want to know is how can I work out someones cd drive path, and code it to the rest of the file location so that I wont get errors. Also where would I put this code. So my hard drive path is C:Moonshine Obviously users drive letters change, hence my problem.
I have a running program which is installed in the server side and this program is running 24hrs a day. Now I made some enhncements on this program and would like to publish it. I tried to publish first in my local disk but after publishing Im having some errors "Critical error: Required processing file is missing" after clicking the setup.exe file. Now Im thinking of publishing this directly to my server. If I publish it directly to my server would it disrupt the running program? is it safe to do that? or is there something that I need to do it first?
I need to write a paper on the comparison between (Microsoft Visual studio 2005 to develop web applications using asp.net) and (visual basic and Netbeans to develop j2ee applications using java).I need suggestions for good webpages,journals or documents which can help me out here. I have to write at least 1500 words so any suggestions are welcome.
In a while loop, I am writing a progressively increasing integer value (between 0 and 100) to the Value attribute of a ProgressBar control, when it disappears from the window in which it resides. I have verified at the time that it disappears that the Min is 0, Max is 100, and Value is a valid integer in range.
Does anybody know which version of Visual Studio 2010 contains the full set of Visual Basic SharePoint Templates? I am about to embark on a project to create Visual Web Parts to be used in a SharePoint report.
At the moment I am using Visual Studio 2008 and even though the WSPBuilder is installed none of the relevant SharePoint templates are present.Having searched SO and the web, most advise to install the templates via the Visual Studio command prompt: devenv /installvstemplates
Alas the Visual Studio command prompt is also missing from my VS2008 installation.So, the question remains: which version of VS2010 contains what I need for pain-free SharePoint development? There is a rather large price different between VS2010 Professional and VS2010 Premium, so can anyone tell me if the cheaper version (VS2010 Professional) contains all the Sharepoint templates?
How do I disable the background compiler for Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2008?
For my sins, I have to work on a large VB.NET project and it often locks up for 20 seconds at a time whilst doing the very helpful background compilation
I'd rather work blind between compiles and be able to do some work.
I am just wondering how I can add Direct X references to Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2. I cant find them in the .NET reference list, or the reference list, or anywhere. I downloaded the Direct X SDK for August 2009, but I can not add the .dll files to the reference list. Is there anything I can do to add them? I need the references for programming reasons.
I am trying to make a console program in Visual Basic on Visual Studio 2008. I want to ask the user of the program if he wants the premium version or the standard version. If he chooses the premium version, then I want it to say premium in his "receipt" later on and if he chooses standard, then standard in the receipt.
I have Visual Studio 2008 Professional and I'm trying to make it so I can click a button to send the application to the System Tray and then click the icon in the System Tray to make the application come back.
Can anyone provide me a method or sample code to do this?
when the user clicks on the add button another form launches, which enables the user to add student info such as name, address, course, start date and end date, this information is then written to class when the ok button on that form is clicked, and then displays the data on the initial form in data grid. the user can add multiple entries and they are all displayed on the intial form and a the data grid is populatedwhen any of the rows in the displayed grid is selected, and the update button is clicked then the same form launches as the previous one and but this time its in the update mode and pre populates the form with the inital values.
I am very new to Visual Studio Application Development. I'm mostly a DB guy. I used Visual Studio as a Report Designer, not much of an .Net guy though I can understand it. I am now asked to create a .net application and I'm trying to create a "Hello World" starter app. I opened my Visual Studio, click File-New Project and all I see is Business Intelligence Projects and Other Project Types. My step-by-step guide says choose Visual Basic, Windows Forms Application. But I can't see it as an option.
I have visual studio 2008 installed and was using C#. I am now trying to find Visual Basic. I can't find it. Is there a way to download it or should it be somewhere in my visual studio program? I don't want to use vbexpress, just regular VB 2008.
I recently loaded my copy of MS Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition, with Visual Basic, on to my new laptop, one with a Windows 7 operating system.

I have been working on a game development program for a few days now. And have come to a halt on one part, and thats adding a 3D space in the program. I do not know the code for this, would some one please provide something i could use for adding 3D space in my project? for example, i have a panel set up to be the view port in to the 3D space. Now i need to figure out how to program it so you can see a 3D space, click on the mouse and drag and the grid will follow the mouse.Likecreate a grid, i wish to give it a grid of 150 x 150 grid pixles.
