Load The Sub Main At The Start Rather Than Loading A Form On Start Up?
Feb 24, 2012How can I get my application to load the Sub Main at the start rather than loading a form on start up.

Process.start() Freezes Main Program Until Process Finishes?
Feb 21, 2011I have a program that starts another program after setting the regkeys basically the program continually syncs the calandar of outlook and another application.I set the regkeys than launch the c:sync.exe app. I have tried a simple process.start and launching the process as a thread and they both do the same thing: The other process starts and works as it should but my main program goes "White screen" or "not responding" until the process.start has exited.
I want the process.start to run in the background so if users click in my main app it responds and truly that they can access the context menu of my main app from the taskbar while the process.start is running.

Application Start And Main Form?
Oct 2, 2009I am developing a commercial application that needs to do some environment checking upon start up. I need to check things like the following. 1. Is there a registry entry on this machine that has various keys for paths to SQL Server 2. If it does not I need to create them. 3. Prompt user for the path to the SQL Server 4.Check the SQL Server to see if the database I need exists. 5. Create the DB if not. 6. Populate the DB with the tables I need 7. Create stored procs in the DB 8. Write the registry. I could do all this in the form load of the main form. However is there a better way? Like doing all these checks as part of a splash screen for example.

How To Automatically Start My Program At Start-Up As Administrator
Jun 2, 2011I know that to start a program at startup, we should add this subkey
"C:Program Files<myprogram's path><nameoftheprog>.exe"
to
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun
Alright!
But the problem is when my program has to delete a certain file in C:/ at startup, it just can't because it's not ran as administrator!

Either End The Program Or Start The Program Over In A Visual Basic Console Application - Based Upon User Input?
Apr 8, 2012I have a procedure at the end of my console application that ask the user to either hit enter to end the program, or type s to perform another search. The issue I'm having is no matter what the user types in the program end. What I would like to happen is if the user types s, then the program starts over and lets the user perform another search. The program is procedural and I need to find a way to start back off at the top of the program which ask the user to type a name to search.

View 4 RepliesVS 2010 Using A Sub Main To Run Program
May 12, 2011Is it possible to use a sub Main() to start you're application rather than a form, if so how? Also how do you implement the cmd commands such as "[application path here]program.exe colourclicker" The above command would start the program but would only show a certain form.
EDIT Is there another way other than unchecking the 'Enable Application Framework' checkbox? (As this disables XP Styles and uses the ugly classic windows styles)
.net - Feedback From Threads To Main Program?
Jan 27, 2011My software will simulate a few hundred hardware devices, each of which will send several thousand reports to a database server.Trying it without threading did not give very good results, so now it's time to thread.Since I am load testing the d/b server, some of those transactions will succeed and a few may fail. The GUI of the main program needs to reflect this. How should the threads communicate their results back to the main program? Update global variables? Send a message? Or something lese?
Now, if I update only at the end of each thread then the GUI is going to look rather boring (and I can't tell if the program hung). It might be nice to update the GUI periodically. But that might cause contention, with threads waiting for other threads to update (for instance, if I am writing to global variables, I need a mutex, which will block each thread which is waiting to write).
I'm new to threading. How is this normally done? Perhaps the main program could poll the threads, instead of the threads iforming the main program?

View 1 RepliesPlugin Which Is Dependent On Main Program?
Jan 23, 2012I have developed an application with a plugin architecture using interfaces. I realized that when I release the API for 3rd party plugin development, someone would be able to create a loader program to replace my main program quite easily. Is there any way I can make the plugin dependent on my main program? All my main program does is get an icon and a description of the plugin from the DLL plugin (using the interface) and then calls the dll's interface function to create and display the form.

View 1 RepliesCheck Out The Program It Looks Like The Main Form Is Not Being Updated?
Dec 16, 2011I have an application I've written for some of the people at work and there is one bug that I have no idea how to solve. The application is multithreaded so that the main form can be updated with new information as it comes in. Throughout execution, several other forms come up as well (one at a time).Every so often I get reports that the program freezes. When I check out the program it looks like the main form is not being updated(checkboxes are see through, textboxes are blank) and the main form can't be moved around. This only seems to happen sometimes when the program is left for long periods of time (+30 min) and only on the released .exe and never in the debugger(as of yet). I've tried leaving the program running overnight and it had no problems.

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)?
View 2 RepliesShould Threads Update Global Data In The Main Program
Mar 18, 2011I want to launch a bunch of threads, each performing the same task, and know in main() when each finishs and it if it was successful or failed.The solution offered was to use a ConcurrentQueue, but other posts have recommended using a BackgroundWorker Class, or a thread pool.Is there a definitive answer?Again, all threads perform the same code and have a pass/fail result. I want to run more than there are available threads so as soon as one thread finishes I will launch another asap - I want tehm to stress a remote systems as much as possible (reather than stressing my local PC with too many threads, so I will need to experiment to determine the optimal number of threads).
View 4 RepliesVS 2010 Thread To Check Main Program Execution
Apr 27, 2011I feel like the answers I seek are rather obvious so I feel silly for having to ask, but I just can't seem to figure this out (I'm new to threads, and am really only comfortable using them in Java at the moment). I have an Excel Addin application created with VB.NET, and I've noticed that occasionally while it's running some code (it's no one specific block of code) the program execution will just stop. This is especially problematic when I've set ScreenUpdating to False for Excel because the users then have to completely close out of Excel to get ScreenUpdating to true.
