.net - Process.Start Not Starting?
May 24, 2011I'm trying to execute a 3rd party application, called from a .cmd batch file, called from a self-hosted WCF service. Like this:
WCF --> .cmd --> 3rd party app
For whatever reason, using the Shell command doesn't work fully. It will call the .cmd file, but the 3rd party app won't kick off (I know the .cmd is firing because I have before/after ECHO statements populating a log file). If I double-click the .cmd file from explorer, the 3rd party app will start just fine. So, I figured, maybe try something besides the Shell command from my WCF service.
So I tried the following code, but it won't kick off the .cmd file at all (echo statements not firing). What am I missing here?
Dim psi As New ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe", "/C " & System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("ExStream_CMD_File_Path"))
Dim proc As New Process()
proc.StartInfo = psi
proc.Start()
proc.WaitForExit()
The path in the app.config file is valid (just double-checked). Is there anything wrong with the above code?

Starting A Control Panel Process?
May 21, 2009I'm using an electronic signature pad for one of my applications. The pad has a Control Panel file which handles it's configuration (image display, etc). I would like to know if it is possible to open the pad's control panel from within VB.NET. I've tried using Process.Start() but can't get it to wok, and I'm not sure if it is a problem with what I'm typing in, or if Process.Start is not what I need to use here.

Apr 2, 2009I am writing an application which needs to allow the user to select and open document files as a new process, edit them, then when they've finished backup the changed files automatically. For example, start a .doc file within Word or a .xls file with Excel What I wanted to do was use process.start to run the application and store the ProcessID returned in an array so that when the process finished, I could check all the files that were using that application for changes.

VS 2010 Starting A Process With A Command?
Dec 15, 2011I want to launch System Restore through my program. I figured out the destination of this feature in Win7 is: WindowsSystem32control.exe sysdm.cpl @0,4
So I wrote this
Dim p As New System.Diagnostics.Process
Private Sub CreateASystemRestorePointToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles
[Code]....
Problem is that it will not work if I have anything behind .exe And "sysdm.cpl @0,4" is vital for this to work, otherwise I just launch Control Panel, which is pretty useless for what I want to achieve.
So how do I include commands like those in Visual Basic?

View 7 RepliesStarting A Process In The Current Command Window In .NET
Sep 22, 2010I have this in a VB.NET console application:
Dim p As ProcessStartInfo
p = New ProcessStartInfo(Environment.CurrentDirectory & "injavac.exe",ClassName & ".java")
Dim ps As Process = Process.Start(p)
This does run the java compiler on the file, but it does so in a new window. I want the output from javac to appear in the same console that is running my application. How can I do this? Perhaps there is another method for running commands in the current console? Or maybe I can supress the second console window from opening and redirect its output to the current console?

Win32 Exception When Starting A Process From An Application?
Dec 9, 2009I have an application that starts one of two external CAD applications depending upon the extension of a file in a ListView. I have been able to start up the application to view the file selected without a problem. I also have a seperate print click event for printing the file that opens the viewer application in the background and prints the file. This works perfectly for one of the CAD viewers but when I select a file that requires the other viewer application to print I get a Win32 exception and an error message stating that the file is not associated with any application and it cannot be opened. This of course is rediculous as it opens fine in the "View File" click event that opens the viewer to check the drawing.
One rather strange observation is that the CAD viewer that does print the associated file will launch the other CAD viewer application (that is associated with the other file extensions) when the "View" click event is handled even though I had not incuded the code to execute the process to start the viewer for that type of file. I realize this rather convoluted and may lie in the ProcessStartInfo arguments that I pass to the application.
Here's a code snippet:
Private Sub PrintFinGoods_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles PrintFinGoods.Click
Dim message As String = "No application is associated with file"
Dim source_exception As New Exception

View 1 RepliesSystem Process... Converting From VB6?
Feb 5, 2010I noticed when you kill winlongon.exe, you get a BSOD and your computer crashes. I have also noticed that a number of antiviruses including Norton and Kaspersky make their processes access denied, even to administrators! Even if you use a tool like PSKill or Process Explorer, you still can't kill them. For anyone who wants to see this for themselves, get Kaspersky antivirus and then try killing AVP.EXE from any task killing utility. It doesn't work!
I'm making an application which will limit certain processes from running on my computer until a master password has been entered, where upon the access to these processes will be unlocked. I don't want the user to be able to kill the process, but I want them to be able to use other programs (including task manger, etc). I have thought of many solutions to this, including having another process which will restart my main process whenever it is not present, but this brings forth the problem of a user simultaneously killing and then deleting both of the processes, possibly with a tool like Unlocker. I have also thought about disabling task manager, CMD and taskkill, but then I fear my program will become more like a virus than a legitimate piece of software, and also other utilities can be used which will kill processes.
My problem is that I don't want to be too constraining to the user of my application so that they are not able to use every day applications, but I don't want my application to be easy to circumvent, and thus become pointless.
Process Of Converting 6 Pages Of Java To .net?
Sep 26, 2011I'm in the process of converting 6 pages of java to vb.net and today I encountered a line of code that uses "HashSet". I'm currently working in visual studio 2005 and so after googling it, I realized that HashSet is not available for this framework and I would need to use Dictionary.
I'm trying to decide if I should upgrade or not. Performace is going to be a key issue in working with this new application. I suppose it may depend on what use they make of this HashSet in the pages I'm converting. Here's the function I'm currently working on converting:

VS 2005 Windows Services - Process Is Listed As A SYSTEM Process Rather Than A Process Under User Name

The problem i have is that even though the service launches notepad, the actual notepad it self is NOT visible. I know that it has been launced because i can see the process in the task manager. By the way the process is listed as a SYSTEM process rather than a process under my user name (i believe that is because my process is a "LocalSystem" one).

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.
