I was wondering, how do I target a program with an application, E.G.
A Program is running in the background and I want my program to hit spacebar (I got that much) but I don't want to have the program in the foreground for my program to work.
how can i translate this code:
in window application i write:
me.hide()
form2.show()
how can i make this tin a console application? or how can i make a target?
I have A program which contains a combo box that has a value which is a link to a local file. I want the user to be able to open this file when they click a button.
Previously I have done this in VBA using Application.FollowHyperlink Me.txtAuth. Is there a way to do this in VB.NET?
The target file is a .TIF I've read a bit on using a file browser to complete this but I want it to open the file selected on the form.
I have a .NET application that is shared to around 30 different computers, (mix of 32-bit and 64-bit machines).When compiled, the application is set to target 'Any CPU'.It runs fine on all machines except one that is Windows 7 64 bit.The error message is:

This is probably a simple Q & A but I have a appication that is mainly compriesed of WebBrowsers. Would it be possible to have one of my WebBrowsers on a seperate window change the url of another webbrowser in a diffrent window?
Basiclly is there a way javascript or something else to change the target of a link on my website to target a open window's webbrowser in the application??
I am trying to change the Target CPU for my application and have read on the net to go to Project Properties -> Compile tab then click on the Advanced Compile Options. I am using VB.net 2005 Express Edition. Is this not available in Express Edition or am i looking in the wrong place?
View 4 RepliesHow to make a chat program. Well I just copied code in and the program worked. I can send a message to the server and it sends it back just fine. But I can only send a message once. If I try to send another message I get an error and it says this "A first chance exception of type 'System.Net.Sockets.SocketException' occurred in System.dll" then it "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:500".

I have recently started playing with sockets, so now i have set up an instant messaging app. it works like it's supposed to however, theres a slight problem. short of arranging for both parties to come online via email or something there's no way for the other person to know that someones waiting for them. So i'm basically looking for a way to send a pop-up message to tell the other dude to get his ass online,is there a way to display a message on a target pc's screen without a client application running and actively listening for an incoming command?
View 6 RepliesI'm creating a shortcut with my application, and its working successfully, except that the "Target" line is being cut off. Not all the arguments are listed. When I run the target application of this shortcut using process.start and these arguments, it runs fine. Is this simply a limitation of the "Target" textbox? Is it simply not displaying all the arguments, or is it functionally limited in this way?EDIT: I have determined that it is simply not displaying the full string, but seems to work correctly. I would still like to fix this somehow, but if not, not a big deal.There are 259 characters in the textbox, including spaces. Doesn't seem like a significant number to me.Here is the code, but it doesn't really matter, it is working fine:

I 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.

I'm using the x86 target CPU setting (and .NET 2.0 as target framework if that's important) for all of my projects and components. This worked without any problems with Visual Studio 2008. My developer PC uses a x64 version of Windows 7.But now I have a new project in Visual Studio 2010 where both, the main project as well as the user control component is set to x86 target CPU, but I still get following error when I try to run my main project with the user control placed on the form:
"Could not load file or assembly 'XXX' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format."
This is the normal message e. g. if the main project has a target CPU of "Any CPU" and the component only "x86", but in Visual Studio 2008 it worked fine if I set both to "x86". Why this is not working in Visual Studio 2010 anymore or what I need to change that it works again?
I just installed Visual Basic Express 2010. I am doing a project at the moment for college. The project is running fine on the computers at college. But when I try to run it on my home PC I get this error message.QuoteWarning1: Possible problem detected while building assembly 'StockSYS': Referenced assembly 'Oracle.DataAccess.dll' targets a different processor..I have Googled it but when I go to the advanced compiler settings, there is no option to change the target CPU, just an option to change the target framework. I know that this has something to do with trying to run it on a 64-Bit OS. I just don't know how to change the target CPU.

Currently I develop a web browser. When you drag a file onto the exe in Windows 7 or pass a URL as a parameter to it, it will open that file/website (at least attempt to).

My VB.NET 2010 app currently targets .NET 3. I have to update it to target .NET 4 to get around some Locale / CultureInfo issues. What's the difference between .NET 4 Client Profile and the other .NET 4s I have on my machine: Extended and Multi-Targeting Pack? Which flavour of .NET 4 should I target? I want to target the flavour that the average user running Microsoft Office (Excel/Word/Outlook) out in the wild is most likely to already have. Why (on my machine) is there only a regasm.exe for v2.0.50727 and v4.0.30319? Why not a separate version for the other versions installed on my machine? (3, 3.5)
View 2 RepliesI am currently trying to read the target line of a shortcut file, if you were to right click and view properties of a shortcut, you can see the target line which holds the path of the file for execution. I problem is the target lines have attributes/properties at the end of the target line. The code i have atm reads everything except the most crucial part, the data after the .exe.. For example
Say i have a shortcut file whose target line(if you view properties of the file) is as such:
\adminappsVbNetSQLScriptRunner.exe AccountNumberUsage
My current program reads in this part of the target line..
\adminappsVbNetSQLScriptRunner.exe
But i need the last part, its the whole point of the program...why it stops reading when it hits the .exe or how to make it continue till end of the target line. I eventually store each target line returned into an array which ill export to excel later on.The code used to retrieve the target line is below.
Public Function GetTarget(ByVal dt As System.Data.DataTable)
Dim path(dt.Rows.Count - 1)
Dim wshLink, strPath, wshShell
Dim rc As Integer = 0

I recently wrote a quick VB.NET app that injects a DLL into a running process. To test it I was creating my own vb.net Class Library project which simply spawns a "Hello World" message box in hopes of it showing up in the target process once I injected my HelloWorld.DLL.My problem is that the message box never shows up after I inject the HelloWorld.DLL. I'm pretty sure the reason for this is because once my HelloWorld.DLL is injected (since it's a VB.NET DLL) it does not have a DllMain and hence has no idea what to execute and nothing happens.

View 1 RepliesI have a ListView called "orderReceiptTable" which I am able to properly access from the Code Behind. Within it is a literal called "orgName" which I obviously would like to populate with an organization's name. After much searching it was determined that FindControl was the right course of action. Perhaps I am using FindControl improperly but I am unable to actually have it "find" my Literal control. The code block is being called in the Page Load.
My code looks as such:
Dim orgNameString As String = getOrganizationName.getOrgName(organizationID).ToString()
Dim myOrgName As Literal = FindControl("orgName")
myOrgName = CType(orderReceiptTable.FindControl("orgName"), Literal)

View 3 RepliesI am using VB.Net 2008 Express.I am trying to move a button on a form, the button status is unlocked. The code that I want to use is:
Me.btnEnter.Location.Y = 474
However, I get the error message, "Expression is a value and therefore cannot be the target of an assignment" If I now code as follows, I get the error message, "Property access must assign to the property or use its value"
Me.btnEnter.Location.Y
The errors appear contradictory. Just to check, I wrote the following
X = Me.btnEnter.Location.Y
And when run I received the correct answer of 535.What is happening? What am I missing?
