What is the difference between SendKeys.SendWait and SendKeys.Send?Send obviously will just send they key immediately, but does SendWait actually wait for the message to be processed or does it also send it immediately?The function's name itself is just confusing. Which one should I use if I want to send keystrokes to a 3rd party app immediately, or is there no difference? To me, a few milliseconds is a big difference.

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
CheckBox1.Checked = True
While CheckBox1.Checked = True
SendKeys("{END}")
End While
End Sub
That is the code, the error is "SendKeys is a type and cannot be used as an expression."

I'm looking for the underlying Win32 API call that the DotNET Framework invokes on a SendKeys.Send or .SendWait call, or a Win32 API Equivalent to SendKeys. I've already experimented with SetKeyboardState which seems like the way to go, except that it does not raise any kind of keyboard event that causes the set keystates to register with an active application or the OS (at least not until another key is pressed; for example I can meddle with the keyboardstate before events process on a natural keystroke, but I can't invoke a keystroke programmatically).

I'm wondering if there is any code that I could use in VB.net so it can determine the computer's startup mode (such as safe mode or safe mode with networking).

I work for a shop that maintains a fairly new app. The app still has its fair share of bugs, with numerous tickets coming in daily. The error information we're given with those tickets is not as useful as it might be because the application was compiled in Release mode, which I read is smaller and faster (makes sense).
Are there any ramifications to deploying a .NET application to production that was compiled in Debug mode? I would expect it would be a bit slower, but I've read the difference is nominal. This would assure us that when we get errors on tickets we have line number associated with those errors and this, of course, makes debugging much easier. major red flags that would prevent you from doing this? I'm tasked with researching the possibility.

I have a VB.Net 2.0 application, on my form I am using a Component ONE PDF reader control.I am trying to send to this control a F4 keystoke to close the navigation panel when it opens the PDF file. It is not working or not accepting the sendkey.I put focus on the control first. Code below:
Me.PDF1.Focus()
Me.PDF1.Select()
My.Computer.Keyboard.SendKeys("{F4}", True)
I have tried different variations of the Sendkeys with no success.

This is applicable to C# and VB.Net. I am writing a console application, but one aspect of it I want to make representable in a GUI (that being downloads running, with progress bars). is it possible to write a console mode application that can also have a form in it that can be called from code inside the console component?

Some of u already know I'm making a 'virtual desktop'- thing.Only one problem. When switching to a new desktop it starts a new instance of my app in that desktop (works) and on the form load event it says process.start("explorer.exe") <- here is the problem. It only shows a window not the actually bar.Also this may be important it shows the window, but when I navigate to explorer.exe 'C:Windowsexplorer.exe' and open it there. The explorer bar does show up.

I'm working on one of my applications and I'm trying to find a way to use the "Go To Desktop" function that goes directly to the desktop without minimizing any window (This can be achieved by clicking on the Win + D buttons or on the desktop icon in the quick launch toolbar), but how can I activate it using vb? I thought about sending keys but I guess there is more offical ways to do it.

I have written an application that monitors a log file. The Log file is locked by the writing application so I read it asynchronously:
Dim LicenseLog As New System.IO.FileStream("\serverLOGlicense.log", IO.FileMode.Open, IO.FileAccess.Read, IO.FileShare.ReadWrite)

I have been using VB2005 for many years on 2 PCs. Over the last month I have been getting an error when I try to run the project from the IDE:
Error 1 Unable to copy file "objx86DebugBackup.exe" to "binx86DebugBackup.exe". The process cannot access the file 'binx86DebugBackup.exe' because it is being used by another process.
C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727Microsoft.Common.targets 2324 9 Backup
My questions:
1. What has changed?
2. One thread I found suggested that it is a bug, but if true is this something that has been introduced recently (I'm not aware up updating VB2005 unless it happened as part of the general updates).
3. How do I get it back to where it was?
The file is actually locked by my own process, no other application can be using it. I've even tried it with a few line noddy program. I always have to come right out of the IDE, wait a couple of minutes and then go back in - a total productivity killer.

I have a filesystemwatcher waiting for .jpg files to arrive from the camera.he file system watcher invokes a delegate (it works but is that the proper way to handle it?) sub that does a couple of things:1. Adds the just arrived file name to a table2. Attempts to display the image in a picturebox on the form. When it displays the image it imprints some information on the image that the user has entered on the screen. I use a file stream to retrieve the image.The problem is, I'm getting a file in use orror on the "Img = ystem.Drawing.Image.FromStream(fs)"statement. Not all the time. Sometimes I can add three or four files to the folder in rapid succession with no issue. But then out of the blue the error will occur. Sometimes it's there to stay but other times it will go away and allow me to add morefiles.

I have VB 2005 windows application that is reading and writing records into Access 2003 database. After I deployed application to multiple servers - the database stays locked all the time - even if nobody has it open. When I check open files through Computer Manage - it doesn't show that anybody has it open. Yet - I can't delete .ldb file, I can't repair and compact the database to replace existing database, I can't rename database to replace it with other version.
