View 5 Repliescatch statements - it works well just checking my disk drive for a file, if an error is thrown then I open the disk tray and ask them to put the disk in, click OK on the message box and it performs another check for the file, if this fails the button that starts all this is disabled on my main form (the code is shown below).
Okay, so my problem is I'd like to have the message box pop up and the have the drive open up (using an API which I have) either at the same time or in the order of: message box then drive open. I can see two ways to do this: Have the commands happen at the same time (Can you even do this?) OR Have the message box appear and then open the disk drive (but how I could achieve this I don't know as the message box waits for the user to click OK... I originally though of starting a timer just before and getting it to open the disk drive tray in the tick event,
Code:

View 12 RepliesI'm evaluating the best approach to implement the following periodic task:
Get some users from SQL Server (2008) and then for each user enable licences in the Cloud (Office 365) using PowerShell.
My first thought was a console-based app in C# or VB.net but now that I realize that running a PS Script remotely using C# can be quite a challenge I'm starting to think in alternatives like perform all the stuff using PowerShell, I guess this is a better approach but I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.
I cant understand why this works (Start a service "test" on a remote computer):

rCommand = "c:pstoolspsservice \computer -u admin -p blabla start test"

I am working on a "de-bugging" back-end sorta thingy for my program, and I have a "dll" that executes most of the work for the program. For the ease of tech-support, I plan on trying to impliment a hidden back-door into the engine that is password protected and activated by a key-press. What I want to do is:when the enter key is pressed, have the dll run the sub that is listed in the enter key, for example:
In the dll:

We create a window service that will launch multiple process of an application with different configuration. And application further communicate with sql server. It works fine when we start service manually from service manager. It launch all the process ( try with launching 3 process ). But when we test it by restart the machine and service launch automatically then it launch only one process third one. I check the event log in event viewer. I see the following message by MSSQL$MSSQLEXPRESS service
Login failed for user 'dduser'. Reason: Failed to open the explicitly specified database. [CLIENT: <local machine>]
one thing we also tried by delaying ( with thread sleep ) the code execution of service. Then by starting machine again , it launch 2 process , first one still not launch.
I'm implementing an application using vb.net 2005 with oracle 10g and I came across a functionality that should Select/Insert/Update/Delete data from three different tables in oracle.So I`m wondering if there is a way to prepare all the 3 commands (SQL Statements) separately and then execute them in one shot to the oracle, so in this way I can guarantee that all of them are successfully executed or all are failed to execute, and also I could gain more performance which is critical in my case.Thus I`m looking for a syntax in vb.net that helps me execute more than one OracleCommand in one shot to the oracle.

From this tcl program ( running on VMS client computer), we are able to run unix commands to execute processes on a unix server. This is done via tcpip. Now, we are thinking of making upgrades to this system . We are wondering if this kind of thing was possible with Visual Basic. Are we able to run a VB program on windows computer to run UNIX commands on a server? If so, what issues might be brought up. If anyone has even the briefest guideline or tip on this,
View 3 RepliesI am looking for a method to dynamically execute blocks of code ('tasks') in a VB.Net program for a mobile robot. The bulk of the program is running in the background retrieving variables from serial ports, APIs, and the like. The user would select a task in the form of a toolbox button which pops up a dialog to enter task parameters. An accept button would add the task with the parameters to a list. The user would add more tasks to the list as necessary, and then click an 'Execute' button to start the sequence of tasks. The program would then perform the first task with the given parameters until finished, and then start the next task in the sequence and so on.
An example task would be:
GPS Navigate:
A Parameter dialog opens and a destination is entered in the form of GPS coordinates. At run-time the task compares its current GPS position with the position entered in the parameter dialog. It calculates the direction to go and drives the motors accordingly. This particular task would loop until current position = destination position. Move on to next task. The code within the tasks themselves is not the problem, just the execution of the tasks.
I need to convert a .tex file to a .dvi file (latex file), which I can do simply using a command in the cmd window: "latex C: est.tex" for example, would create the "test.dvi" file from the "test.tex" file.

I have a UserControl, we'll call it myUC, that is one among several UserControls in the main window(myWindow) of my WPF application. myUC contains a number of standard controls, one of them being a button, we'll call it myButton.
When I click myButton, I would like to execute myMethod, which exists in the code-behind of myWindow.
The problem being that myUC doesn't have any idea that myWindow even exists, much less that myMethod exists.
How can I send the message: 'Hey, myWindow, wake up. myButton on myUc was just clicked; run myMethod'?
I want to know, is it possible to execute any code when I click on the X of window to close it. How?
