View 2 RepliesI have a procedure at the end of my console application that ask the user to either hit enter to end the program, or type s to perform another search. The issue I'm having is no matter what the user types in the program end. What I would like to happen is if the user types s, then the program starts over and lets the user perform another search. The program is procedural and I need to find a way to start back off at the top of the program which ask the user to type a name to search.

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 have a console application and I have figured out how to type in the command window with Console.WriteLine() but i need to run a command (ex. net user) then wait for a response and type another command, for some reason I cant figure out how to type the command and automatically press enter without closing the window. I tried Console.WriteLine("net user") but all it does is write "net user" in the command window so I used My.Computer.Keyboard.SendKeys("{ENTER}", True) after Console.Writeline and it just wrote "net user" then exited the window. Is there any way to run a command through a console application? if so how would i do this?

Just wondering if there is anyway to read each line of text that is output from a console application?
Basically I want to use PSEXEC through a vb.net GUI application and I would like to be able to read any error codes that may occur from the command line.
I was thinking I could make a console application that would have a FileSystemWatcher - watching for a .BAT file being created in a folder - and when it sees that file it does a PROCESS.START on it.
View 3 RepliesI have a console application that is ready to be used as a windows service, I have been looking around for a couple of hours and tried many of the tutorials out there but none of them worked with me.
The closest one was: [URL] but it didn't go into the process of doing it. I converted that code to VB.NET but then I don't know where to go from there. I have the Module1.vb which runs my console application all ready to be used.
show me a way to use my console application as a service, I tried using the InstallUtil feature but my app never showed under "services".
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?
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?

View 1 RepliesI want to exit my GUI application (vb.net 4) using a commandline parameter.I should send thive! from the commandline:
myapplication.exe quit and an already running instance of the application should exit.
Now, I have a mutex detection in place so that I can only have one instance of the application running at a time. It seems that if I send a commandline, it won't work on an already running application; it will only work on one that is launching.
I'd like to, let say "declare" my custom command, and what do I mean by command is something you type in the code, when for example you click a button. Just like Textbox (for example), my custom command sould have "underthings" in it, so just like I can type in Textbox1.Text. And that underthing (in this example, textbox is my custom command and .text is a sub/underthing) I can set if it is a boolean or string etc. I need this for my login program, where that custom command is an username (named username, what you can dim), and then it has sub things, like username1.email (string for e-mail text) and username1.password, username1.ismoderator (boolean, true or false). So an example, in my program I can do like this:
'Username is my custom command, just I don't know how to'define or declare it.'Username has here, to keep it simple, 2 sub things, it is'username.password and username.name Private Sub btn_registrate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btn_registrate.Click'When the button called registrate (make new username) is clicked Dim username1 As Username'(I don't know if it must be dim blabla as NEW or without new with'my custom command)username1.name = Textbox1.Text 'Textbox for username username1.password = Textbox2.Text 'Textbox for password
