Scheduled Task And EXE Not Working Properly As Desired
May 18, 2012
I created an exe app in vb.net and I want it to run every 3AM so I used the scheduled task feature of Windows 7. The app has an initial form that will countdown from ten before proceed to the main process. My problem is that the form doesn't poped up. But when I look at the task manager, my app is running. I don't know what's wrong with it because when I tested the app to run at times when I am viewing it, the initial form pops up. I already set everything like to Run whether user is logged on or not. So I really don't know what wrong with my app.
TaskScheduler on Windows xp, does anyone know a API used to select a certain task to Run? or do I have to go through that darn COM ITASK interface, I think that might have a method?
I have to sync information between a users table in SQL and a user group in active directory. For example, if a user is entered into SQL table A then they need to be entered into group A and if a user is removed from SQL table A, then remove them from group A.The application is written in ASP.NET (VB)
I see two solutions:
1) A scheduled task that runs every night syncing the two (written in VB.NET).
2) Use inpersonation so that Active Directory can be updated by the ASP.NET application. The Web.Config file will have to be encrypted in this solution.
I have read articles online that say it is bad practice to update AD in ASP.NET. This would suggest that option 1 is the better solution. Which is the better solution?
My application needs to set up a scheduled task on installation. The task is to run my program on several triggers (related to logon events). I am wondering what is the easiest way to do this? Should I use a batch file?
I've read a few posts here on StackOverflow about task scheduling, but I'm not sure that I get it right. I'm coding (in VB.Net) a backup application, that I'd like to add as a scheduled task (in fact, I'd just like to let the user decide to run it every day at, for example, 3 AM)I've read posts suggesting to use a windows service for this, but it sounds a bit to much for something as simple as periodically running a task, isn't it?
Im am currently coding an application for auto updating ccleaner. Everything worked well until I enabled UAC.. I am using this project: [URL] to schedule the updating process, but when uac is enabled I get every time a message if I would let ccleaner installer make changes to my computer. The auto updating process must be done silently without bugging the user with prompts of uac.
When i manually check the "run with highest priviliges" box in task scheduler it does run without a prompt. But I can't seem to do this programmatically. Or I havent found it yet.
To create a scheduled class, I call the schtasks command from my code, passing it the necessary arguments.Yet, I can't really figure out how to create a task without the user having to input his password.
Is it possible for the installer or the first running of an application to create a scheduled task entry? Barring that, what is the least resource wasteful way to have a program run in the background watching the system time to run at a preset time?
how to do this off hand? I saw a few things for Microsoft.Win32 having some classes but I can't find the reference for it in 2010, which makes me think it is depreciated.
Edit: Can't find Microsoft.Win32.TaskScheduler or Microsoft.Win32.Win32_ScheduledJob which are the 2 I see suggested to use.
i got vb.net application when i debug in task menager the EXCEL.EXE is closing correctly after all operations. When i scheduled it the excel.exe is running. What can be a reason of that?Sample of code :
Imports Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel Module Main Public objApp = New Excel.Application
I am currently attempting to support a ClickOnce application that i did not write. This application is running from a scheduled task. The scheduled task points to a .application file. This had been running happily untill today when it stopped. The only thing that has changed is that the application has been executed manually by a developer by double clicking on the .application file. Since then each time the scheduled task is scheduled to run the application doesn't appear to execute. The task reports no error and the error code (0x0) given indicates it ran and completed ok.
I am not familiar with ClickOnce and am not sure when implication clicking the .application file would have had or why it has stopped running as a scheduled task. It appears to me that everything else has remained the same (i have checked it is running under the correct account etc).
I have created a console application to run through the db (about 22K )records and update some values nightly. I've added an email to myself on any errors. When running the task I get about 500 emails saying: "Overflow" (which is what's returned by : exception.Message) What does it mean? Is it running through the db too fast?
Here is my code: For Each dataRow As DataRow In dt.Rows curries = 0 baseDate = Nothing sourceID = 0 [Code] ......
I have a simple vb.net application. When I go to bindebugprogram.exe and double click the program runs perfect. The same program will not execute using task scheduler. When I create a scheduled task and click 'run' it just pops up a console window for a second, closes. Additionally, this same program used to run with task scheduler. One day, it just stopped working.
ps: I have this program code managed in svn so I can safely say that the code has not changed.
how to add the creation of a scheduled task to the setup project of a solution so that it will install the main executable and also schedule it to run in windowsscheduled tasks. The project is in vb.net 2005?
I've been having huge problems having a VB.NET Windows Forms program run as a scheduled task under XP SP3. The program runs when I set the task up to use my non-admin network username and password, I can see the interface fine (albeit without the desired results - the program requires access to remote shares). When I set the task up with the network administrator account credentials, the task is "Running" but I do not see any interface. It doesn't error - it just kind of sits there happily in the background.
I'am trying to write a program in order to obtain a screen picture for a post review of the running window that should be periodically executed with the tasks manager.
I am trying to make a application that will bind User Desired Keys to User Desired Text. This is what I have done so far, it is not very much but it keeps crashing and visual basic is not telling me anything is wrong with it. I basically just want the user to be able to select a hotkey from a combobox. [code]
In my word processor I have an 'Open' option on a menu strip. Here is the code for it:
Private Sub OpenToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles OpenToolStripMenuItem.Click With ofdFile .Title = "Select a file to open"[code]....
For some reason when I press the 'Open' item and open the ofdFile dialog box .txt files do not appear even when I have the 'Text Files' filter selected However, when I use the 'All Files' filter they appear. And the 'HTML Files filter is also working properly.Why are the .txt files not appearing when I use the Text Files filter?
I don't even know where to begin describing this. I have a project, that uses settings, for some paths, settings that I retrieve with the My.Settings. function.In my laptop, when I change the .exe.config file, the settings are updated accordingly, but when I try that on the production server, it just shows the default value used while compiling.
I tried changing the solution configurations to debug and other custom configs with no effect.Tried to use the same folder copied and pasted without version control, still the same result.Tried a co-workers laptop, by using the last svn revision, it works there too. But on neither of the servers works.
I cannot figure out why my calculation is not working. I am doing for 1 to 12 and it gives me 12 inputs but counts my entries as 13? What am I missing. If I change it to 0 to 11 same thing. I am not sure what the issue is, but I cannot see it, and am not sure where to look.I need to end up with 12 cycles through and intEntries to be 12.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click 'initialize accumulator Dim decEntries As Decimal[code].......
So I opened 2 forms, Form2.vb and Form3.vbNow I put this:
Private Sub Form1_PreviewKeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PreviewKeyDownEventArgs) Handles Me.PreviewKeyDown If e.KeyCode = Keys.F8 Then
i am making a simultaneous equations program and cant figure how to get passedtext properly working, as i declare the amount questions the user wants to answer in the settings form, it then passes this over to the simultaneous equations form and i cant get it to keep spawning questions until the number is reached.
Public Class simultaneousequations Dim Random As New Random Dim typeofquestion As String = Random.Next(1, 3)
I have some System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection 's in my.settings and the won't do anything: I have tried adding things to them and I get a null reference, now I have used these before and they worked fine I have tried reading from them, like I have in the past, and it dosen't read anything; the strings come out emtey as in one emtey string when there is three full strings
