I'm wanting to transfer data between two programs. Basically, I have one program which is the "monitor" program. It opens another program and will fill a textbox in said program and then click a button on the program. When everything is done after clicking the button, the program will need to send something back to the monitor to tell it to close the program and open up another one to start the process over again.
View 4 RepliesI have a few questions regarding getting information from other programs.
For instance, once i launch a console application i want my other program to read it's output. If my build.exe reads whats printed in cmd.exe and then outputs it live on a textbox <--- How do i do that?/Is it possible? Im sure it is. And then i want to know how much % of CPU is used by the program and how much memory are used.
Are there any good books out there that will show someone how to set up a form using Visual basic that will take information and send it to the server and then send a recipient an Email?
View 2 RepliesI currently have two programs that need to comunicate one with another. It doesn't have to be something complicated, it's just passing data from one to another, all very simple. I was thinking of using .net remoting, but I've heard there's a new thing WCF. Should I go for the .net remoting or try WCF? Or is there something simpler to use?
edit: Both applications are simple, I don't want to have anything to do with IIS, services and such.
I've finished developing a simple game with visual basic and I'm ready to send it to some friends so they can give it a go. So I log onto my gmail and attach all the necessary files, but when i try to send the email, 3 of my 5 files get blocked, including the .exe file which is crucial to running the program. I tried on my Microsoft outlook as well and no luck. Does anybody know of a way to send a program over email (or know of any emails that accept these types of files). Or maybe somebody knows of different file formats that I can convert my visual basic stuff to and then send it. Or maybe even somewhere i can upload my programs privately and then have my buddy downbload it there.

View 1 RepliesWe are upgrading a suite of data acquisition and analysis routines from VB6 programs to a mixture of VB.NET, VB6, and Matlab programs. We want to keep the system modular (separate EXEs) so we can easily create specialized stand-alone analysis programs without having to constantly upgrade one massive application. We have used MBInterProcess to send messages between EXEs when all the programs were written in VB6 and this worked perfectly for us (e.g., to have the data acquisition EXE send the latest file name to a stand-alone data display program). Unfortunately, this ActiveX cannot be used within Matlab or VB.NET to receive messages. We are wondering what is the simplest string message passing system (pipes, registered messages, etc) that we could adopt. Right now we are just polling to see if new file was written in a specific folder, which can't be the best solution. Our ideal solution would not require a huge investment in time learning nuances of Windows (we are biologists, not full-time programmers) and would work in both WinXP and 64-bit versions of Windows.
In response to the queries, we have wrapped the entire Matlab session within a VB6 program that has the MBInterProcess ActiveX control. That works but is not a great solution for us since it will probably lock us into WinXP forever (and certainly will prevent us from using the 64-bit version of Matlab). The latest version of Matlab (2009a) can access .NET functions directly, so we assume one solution might be to use the .NET library to implement pipes (or something similar) across programs. We would like to recreate the elegantly simple syntax of the MBInterProcess ActiveX and have a piece of code that listens for a message with that program's top-level Windows name, and then call a specific Matlab m-file, or VB.NET function, with the string data (e.g., file name) as an argument.
I Was Wondering Is It Possible To Send Data/Text Across Programs During Runtime. I've Heard Of Something Called API, I Heard It Somewhere and It Sounded Like It Had Something To Do With What I Want. Or Not, I Don't Know. Anyways Heres a simple example Of What I Want To Do

I want to send my Visual Basic Programs to a backup email address that will allow me to save the .exe files.I have spent years developing programs for dictionarys/translators of foreign languages, but my problem is that I keep loosing all my research and the places that I have been living in. So I need an online email address to send all of my work to this way..I will be able to continue development.
View 2 RepliesI have an asp.net webpage that only contains a textbox and a button. The user submits their email address using this webpage.What I am trying to do now is take the information submitted by the user and go to another website. Where my "website/program" gives the different website the entered email address, and clicks the submit button.
If I where to physically go to the different website, there would be a textbox to enter the email. But since I am accessing the website from my page "behind the scenes" I cant manually enter their email address.Is it possible to do this, if so how? Also, my code behind is in VB.

An currently writing a vb.net application to send and receive information from a client via telnet. Am using System.net.Sockets to do this. I can send data great and get data back is ok. So the Problem is in the command window after I telnet in to the server application, when i press the delete key the cursor moves back a character and doesn't delete the character, just over writes it and when I read the bytes in I get the deleted character and the ascii value for the delete key and then the replacement character. I have seen another telnet application that shows the deletion of characters in the Command window.
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to send information to a USB Video game controller in VB.Net? The kind of information I want to send to it is information causing the device to think that a button is pressed on the controller when it really is not. Or even better, is it possible to make a USB wire that connects to your computer and another USB port on something such a computer and send information that a video game controller would send to the other computer or whatever? Basically what I want to do is emulate a guitar hero controller sending the data of the buttons being pressed to an xbox 360 console.

View 4 RepliesI have been developing a calculator for complex math. (Much more complicated than +,-,/,*, and above your usual scientific calculator)Its works quite well .In past programs I have used "private functions". I know that you give them a value and it returns on back. But what if you dont want to recive or send value? My example for this is a function I am attempting to make called "Autopi".The idea of Autopi is that whenever a mathimatical operation is about to be performed textbox(s) are cheked to see if they contain pi. (3.14 or 3.141) If they test positive Autopi will continue pi to however many places have been specifyed in the program. (Currently 300 places just beacuse i can :) Before the Autopi function does this it chekes to see if variable "pi" = 1. If it does it proceeds if it doesent its job is done
How would I create a code that can be called apon to activate but not recive or send any information through the program.And just to clarify what I mean by that is it will read information out of a textbox and write into it.

I started with VB 6.0 back when i was 14, I was mostly into coding programs that interacted with other programs.

It be great if you guys can share some source codes and other stuff in this field. also other day i was in dream spark and i am able to get copy of VS.net 2010 ultimate edition, are there a lot of major changes, cause i got 2 thick book for VB.net 2005..
