Starting A Process In The Current Command Window In .NET
Sep 22, 2010
I 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?

I 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?

I am trying to parse data from netsh dhcp commands from my application which will run from remote client systems running windows xp/7. In order to do this, credentials must be passedSo I can currently get the correct data using the RunAs command. However when trying to do it programatically from vb.net it returns data as tho there were no credentials passed.
p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True
p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = True
p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = True

I'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?

I'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.

I 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.

VB.net 2010 Read all around the net, but cannot seem to do this: Tried the performance counter Categoryname=process Instancename=("program"). _Total helps in part- but it would be more efficient to acquire the main applications cpu usage for this project.
Code:for each p as process in process.getprocesses if p.id=process.getcurrentprocess.id then end if next 'Values, Obviously multiple processor cores have to be taken into account'kernelmodetime, usermodetime, Cputime, total cpu time, 100% <-- Does this involve adding and or dividing all these times? I need the current process CPU usage.

I am using the following code to run defrag and to analyze if the C: drive requires defragmentation:
Dim analyze As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:WindowsSystem32defrag.exe", "C: /a /h /u /v")
This process runs through analyzing, runs it in normal mode & prints the progress to the command window.
My problem is that as soon as the process is complete the command window closes. I need it to stay open so that I can read the results.

I 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

I have a winforms application that calls an command line program. My application is MyApp.exe for example, and the application I call is OtherApp. exe - if my user exits my application properly, I can "kill" the instance of OtherApp.exe - however if the user uses task manager to kill MyApp.exe, I cannot kill OtherApp.exe... when I load the OtherApp.exe, is there a way to associate it with MyApp.exe so MyApp.exe can kill both automatically? I only allow MyApp.exe to load one OtherApp.exe at a time, and it is stored in a global variable.Basically even if OtherApp.exe is currently running (inside procJob), I want the procJob (and associated OtherApp.exe) to be killed if MyApp.exe exits by force in task manager.[code]

I am working in VB2008. I don't know what process is started when a user double clicks on a folder to display its contents. I am working on an application where I store paths to various folders in a database that is displayed in a treeview. I would like to be able to select a node in my tree and then pass the path to the associated folder to the application which can display the contents of the folder. I need to know the name of the application or process that I am trying to startup to display my folder contents.
