Ok, so the PDF problem was traced back to when I would close the test build. When I would close my app via Me.Close the Adobe.exe was still an active process.
I have several forms that include multiple PDFs. I need to ensure that the Adobe.exe process is terminated during the exiting of my applications.
How is this accomplished or is there another way?
I have made a program that has an intro screen, moving onto an activity select screen which acts as the main interface to get around the program. After creating the program and installing it on my computer, when I close the program from the activity select screen, using the "X" at the top right corner, the program continues to run under "processes" in the task manager.If I close the program from the intro screen though, it will close everything, including the processes. Is there anyway I can get the same to happen with the game select screen? I can make it work by putting my own "End" button on the form, but id prefer to be able to do it with forms own close button.

Is there a way to stop other subs from running while in a separate sub.
for instance say your in the sub
CreateNumber()
and the subs are setup like
CreateNumber()
AddNumber()
DeleteNumber()
Is there a way to be in CreateNumber() and call a function to stop AddNumber from running after creaetNumber() is finished? i just want my program to sit there to wait for an event to happen.
I'm currently programming a music software which plays notes which are listed. as timer ticks, the notes change and so it plays a different *.wav file. The problem now is that the previous sounds stops when a new sound starts. i want them to overlap each other until each one has finished. Code: my.computer.audio.play("file.wav")
View 30 RepliesI've been trying to create a timer that waits for another timer to finish with its coding and, when it's finished, executes a series of code before stopping itself.
This isn't the code for the actual program I wanted to implement this self-stopping timer in, but it's simple and has the exact same problem:
Public Class Form1
Private Synchro As New Timer()
Private Sub MeLoad() Handles Me.Load
[Code].....
The idea here is that it's suppose to (using a timer) show the messagebox ONCE and ONLY once per button click. However, what seems to happen (despite the fact that I have 4 ways of trying to tell it to stop) is that the program creates multiple messageboxes until there are a total of about 49 messageboxes on the screen at the same time. I don't know if I'm using the wrong event (unlikely as Tick seems to be the only timer event) or there's a way of stopping the timer that I don't know.

I'm developing an interface for users that will allow them to enter data into a database without having to know SQL. Problem is, some one out there probably does.
How can I stop them from deleting/screwing with my data when they're typing entries within my text boxes?
For example, I don't want anyone to be able to type in DELETE * or any other kind of SQL statements in a text box to ruin the DBA's day.-Nothing to see. Move along.
I have a vb.net application which does some processing. This processing can take a while. The application doesn't respond until the processing has ended and then it handle all events (such as click on buttons) that the user has done during the processing. I'd like to add a "Stop" button so that the user can stop the processing at some point. How can I do that? Could threading the processing (which is done in a function of the application) be a possible solution?
I tried to add a button which change a boolean value and putting the code of the processing function inside a while statement based on that boolean value. However it doesn't work because the click event on the button is processed only after the end of the processing.
I used a combination of If and doWhile loop codes. Is it possible that the loop will stop at 2nd loop if it will perform a 3 loops?I'm creating an app that if the problem is got the match at 2nd out of 3rd loop, the loop will stop.

I know the title of this thread is a show stopper for a lot of us . But what I want to do is stop two services from running for a period of time then restart them. I know I can do this from the command prompt by using net stop servicename then restart with net start servicename. I need these two services stopped to do some work on the database. I do this manually right now and want to automate the process. I tried process.start with the command net stop but that did not work out. If I try the Process List I get the process running but not the services.

View 3 RepliesI have an application that is on a server running. The way I have it setup is I put it on the Windows Scheduler to run at certain times. We now need to run it constantly on the server. I change the code to put in a loop until I pause or stop it. One issue I have found is that I can kick it off but when I close out of my remote session the application stops.
How do I keep my application to keep running even after I sign out of RDP?
I was wondering how someone could stop a For loop in the middle of it, according to parameters. I have tried but cannot find a solution that works, I suppose an example of this would be if a loop were increasing a label by 1 from 0 to 100 and the user sets it to end at 57 or any number in between and when the loop reached the number to stop.

I have created a form in which it watches a specified path for excel file changes - this part is on load.
[Code]...
This is supposed to delete any temp file that gets through. Then, when it finds an excel file, it will try to open it. I noticed the sub kept launching when I opened the excel file, so just another check to make it safe. the two variables filearray1 and filearraypath2 are public - filearray1 is an array list with full excel paths (another thread loops through the array and does the operations of the excel file) and filearraypath2 makes sure that the same excel file won't be added twice in a row.
Now, this works really well, but for some reason, at some point, the addfile sub won't kick off, even if excel files are changed, created, deleted, anything. I set a breakpoint on the first 'if' line of the addfile sub, opened an excel file and made changes, or created a new one, and let the program run for 10 minutes and the breakpoint never hit.
I have a function to pull data from a XML, and to report a specific number based on a value in one of the elements in the XML. Unfortuntately, I can't get any break points to work, so I've been debugging with a trace.he strange this is that when i take out the function itself it works like it should, otherwise the Service freezes when it gets to the function and never uses it. I'm calling the function in while loop which is also within a Try Statement, here's example of the code.
Public
Shared Function GetXNumber(ByVal
