Start App From Commandline And Return Version Info?
Jan 23, 2012
I am developing an application that will run with a GUI when no commandline args are passed, but can also run invisibly if started from the commandline and passed necessary arguments. I have been asked to include a /version argument that will return a version number. For simplicity this version number can be stored in a variable. Without doing something like writing the version number out to a file, what is the best way for me to return this info to the caller? My app will almost always be started from a script, so the script will have to read the version number and make decisons based on the version.

I would like to build a text string that is the build version of my program. In VB6 I would use the values retrieved from App.Version.Major/Minor. I have looked for something similar in VS2010 VB but unable to find it. I did find information on the .NET framework, but I am looking for a build version of my program.

We're using team build with AssemblyInfoTask to increment the build number in a nightly build. The build number is displayed in the application using My.Application.Info.Version.Build.This has been working fine for years. But since we branched the sources and started using file references instead of project references (have no idea if that's what causes the problem), the last build number is displayed instead of the current one.
The compiled files (dll's and exe's) have the correct build number, if checked by right clicking the file in Explorer and viewing detailed properties. However when the same exe-file is executed, the UI displays the previous build number.If I edit the AssemblyInfo.vb file manually (just set another number, save the file, and set it back again), both file properties in Explorer and the UI at runtime displays the correct build number. How can this happen? What can be done to avoid this strange behavior?

I'm working on an update to one of my programs, and for some reason this new version isn't working on Windows XP. It crashes immediately upon launching (before the GUI is even visible on screen). This shows up in the Event Viewer[code]...

I'm sure but can't see the answer. Currently going through a string "DO While Not ts_IN.AtEndOfStream" looking for information. This includes then checking another string (while inside the first) for matching reference point for further data.
So within the first loop, I have a second loop "Do While Not ts_IN2.AtEndOfStream". And looping through that string searching for the reference point.
This works initially, but after awhile don't find anything because it is not going back to the start of ts_IN2 string each time loops on the first section.

I want to add a scheduled task like this: Dim myProc As Process myProc = Process.Start("at", "02:00 /every:T,W,Th,F,Sa c:ackup.bat") When I type that command at a command prompt it returns "Added a new job with ID = x". How do I get this ID in my code, as it's needed if I want to delete the scheduled job? I've tried looking at some of the properties of myProc but haven't found the right one yet. Maybe I need to wait until the process has completed? (If so, how will I know?).

How they relate and differ from each? What are the best practices for version control? Is there a primer about publish online? Or a good book?
And is it possible to make ClickOnce and a msi in one solution of VS 2008? If so, is there any conflict or pitfall?
BTW I am using VB if that makes any difference.

I want to open up an existing instance if my program is already running only if its running the same version.I noticed that this question was asked for only if the name exists, but what if the version is older, I just want to notify the user that an older version is still running, "please remove older version before starting this version."The other link is this one:Return to an already open application when a user tries to open a new instance but they don't talk about closing an instance if an older or newer version is detected.

When debugging my app it works fine i.e. It gets the two commandline args, through a loop, and execute as expected. However, once I publish it, the app only picks up the first argument, which is the .exe file string. Code below:
Public Sub Main()
Dim args() As String = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()
Dim n As integer = args.Length

This is the command line I want to use inside my VB.NET program. Look for the running process "mpc-hc.exe" and get the commandline of the running processwmic process where name='mpc-hc.exe' get CommandLineI want to retrieve the output from that command into a string. I know that it could be done natively in a VB.NET program and I have looked at how it was done. However, I cannot get the code to perform what it did in the commandline I have above.

I have made my application to start automaticly when windows start (registry ../currentversion/run/appname + path). In this mode the application start minimized and an little icon appear in the notification icon area. With this icon you can maximize the app or exit it.If you exit the app and start it again using the Menu (Start/programs etc) than the application start in minimized mode (and in this case I would like to have it in normal mode) because the setting autostart is still true.Is there a way you can detect when the application start when windows startup using the above registry or when people click on an icon in the programs menu (or desktop)?

I'm using VB.net to have a GUI on top of a commandline program.
[code]...
Which works and prints out all output from the commandline program. However at some point the commandline program ask for user interaction, eg: Type a number (1/2/3/4):But the commandline program stops after this. I suspect this is because it doesn't receive a valid option.Is there a way to capture when the commandline program wants user interaction and hold the reading of the stream to be able to enable the user to input something?

I want to exit my GUI application (vb.net 4) using a commandline parameter.I should send thive! from the commandline:
myapplication.exe quit and an already running instance of the application should exit.
Now, I have a mutex detection in place so that I can only have one instance of the application running at a time. It seems that if I send a commandline, it won't work on an already running application; it will only work on one that is launching.

I've been working on a project that converts several file formats to a PDF in VB.NET/C#. The specific files are DOC, TXT, JPG, TIFF, HTML.
Actually I already have a solution for DOC/TXT to PDF using Bullzip PDF Printer by sending the files to the PDF Printer using VB.NET. However, each time it converts a file, MS Word opens and then closes once the file is sent to the printer. It really slows down the process.
As for TIFF to PDF, I haven't found a solution for it at this time.
I require SDKs or Commandline tools and not PDF convertion applications, since I need to integrate this function in my program. I prefer free or open source SDKs but commercial ones are accepted as well.

I have an application that has file extensions associated with it. The application has been deployed using ClickOnce. I have checked the associations table to confirm the entry is there and the association is to the 'ClickOnce Application Deployment Support Library'. When the application is triggered using a file with my extension, it does not pass the filename / directory in the CommandLine Arguments, instead you get the executable path of the application.
Which is under ..LocalSettingsApp"Random Strings"MyApp.exe
I have checked the Registry entry to confirm what the extension is set to open with and the application is dfshim.dll. Is there a way to overcome this, or is this just another limitation of ClickOnce deployment?
