My program performs a bunch of task in a loop. After each task completed it saves log/status of task in a text file. The program runs fast but if there is more than 10,000 tasks it becomes slower and it takes a lot of CPU because of frequent I/O operation.
Is there a better way to save the log/status of task without making the program slower? At first i used a textbox control to store the log but the problem is textbox control can not hold a lot of text.
Ineed a VBS script that removes all scheduled tasks which start with a specific string.
For example, delete all scheduled tasks which start with "My Application Tasks..."
I wanna use this VBS script in my application uninstaller so all tasks created by my application are removed at the uninstall time, however am not familiar with VBS.
how the threading within vb actually works. am i of the understanding that every time you create an event, through a button control for instance, that this infact creates a seperate process which will run independantly to another. say for instance you had two buttons on a form and each contained code which took 5 seconds to execute. if i were to click one button into action and then the other with a second, would the two processes run alongside one another or would i have to wait for the first code to execute before the second button could be executed?
View 13 RepliesI am trying to create a vb application that will create sscheduled tasks .Created a windows service and set it to start manually for now.Just as a test, when the timer expires I have set it to start 'Notepad' as a process which I can see listed under processes in the Task Manager, but cannot see it as a scheduled task.What I am unsure whether this is the right way to create a scheduled task and if it why can't I see Notepad in scheduled tasks.

At the end of this routine, eventhough the data was correctly saved to my Data.xlsx file, this routine also opened 15 EXCEL.EXE tasks in task manager.I thought that I had cleaned up before quitting. By the way, whether I write to 1 or 5 or 10 cells in Data.xlsx, 15 EXCEL.EXE tasks would be opened regardless.Is there a way to (easily and) completely close all EXCEL.EXE in task manager before leaving my application?

View 5 RepliesI am writing a VB.NET application that creates a new task item for another user. Is there a way of having this task go straight to their task list without having to open the acceptance email ? ( Would help if such an email is not sent in the first place to avoid cluttering)I found a similar post on experts-exchange forum, though no one was able to answer that till date.I assume that can be achieved using shared Task folder but could not get good examples on msdn to work with.

View 2 Repliestrying to automate some manual tasks. The task to access a web page (asp) login and then get some details from the site. The challenge is that the home page after login is build of 3 frames. when i see the page view source from the edit menu all i see are frame names. Once i right click on each frame and view source i am able to see the complete source - variables javascript function etc. The following code helps me to navigate :
vb.net
Set ie = CreateObject("internetexplorer.Application")
Dim s As String[code]....
After this the page has been logged in. Now to proceed further i have to click a "image" object.
1) I tried qualifying the image like ie.Document..........item("img1").click this doesn't work
2) I tried calling the javascript function directly
ie.Document.all.Item("frame1").Document.parentwindow.execScript "JS_WGorUsers (funcname)", "javascript"
The 1st option gives a run time error and 2nd option says access denied. (if i login manually i am able to click the image.

I have a program that has the option to create a restore point. My problem is that when you click on it to do so, the program just locks up until it's finished creating the restore point. I have put a separate form on the program and it has a Marquee Progress Bar Control which I downloaded, so the idea is.
User clicks "Create Restore Point"
frmRestore.show
Marquee Progress Bar goes on and on while the restore point is created
Restore point is done
frmRestore.hide
The thing is, when you click create restore point, the form shows and the program just locks up, onces the restore point is created the form hides again. Could this problem be solved with a Background worker? To be honest I'm not completely sure what it does, I mucked around with the controls but can't seem to find anything useful.

View 3 RepliesI received some good advice previously on parallel.foreach vs Task.Factory.StartNew. I have implemented both and have been surprised with the efficiency of both. I used the following link o try and understand exceptions and incorporate it to be notified if a task stops for any reason the program will detect it. Is there any definitive way to do this without wait() or waitall which will tie off the interface and other tasks running at the same time.
Try
pcounter += 1
Dim factory As Task = Task.Factory.StartNew(AddressOf FileParser.Module1.Main)

View 3 RepliesI have two forms. On form one, I have a serious of check boxes and in form two I have functions relating to those checkboxes. When the second form loads, I check the Checked State of the Check Boxes, and run the appropriate functions. This is working just fine. The problem I have, is that the second form doesn't show until the functions that have been selected have completed. It would be ideal if the form would load and then run the functions.
I don't think that I could have everything run on startup, but hopefully there is another method. I know I could load the second form and then just run the code in the previous form, but this is less than ideal, because I can't show the second form as .ShowDialog and I want to be able to split up the code into the other form so that it's not so crowded and easier to read on the first one.
I have an application that I need to automate where at a certain time each day, say 6pm, it will run a certain method(which is to check a database for key terms and then access the api to search for these terms). But there is also another process which is running all the time accessing the stream api so when the search is complete, it interrupts the stream and hands over the new terms.
Now I thought of adding the .exe file to windows task scheduler but not sure if that would work. The stream method run indefinitely and at 6pm each day another process needs to run. I thought of using the system.threading.task TaskFactory but when I include it, it shows taskfactory as undefined. ( I do have .net framework 4.0)If it launches using the task scheduler as 6pm with my code logic as follows:
