Forms :: Running Console App From WinForm?
Feb 8, 2011I'm trying to run an app (GacUtil) which is normally run through a console window, directly in my winforms app, but I keep getting the error:
"The system cannot find the file specified"
Here is the
Dim AppName = "gacutil"
Dim BaseOptions = " /i"
Dim oStartInfo As New ProcessStartInfo
Dim sFull As String
Dim sStartPath As String = Path.GetDirectoryName(TextBox1.Text)
[Code] .....
In this case, the DLL is in C:, and 'GacUtil' has been added to the Environment path variable.
I can put a break point on the next to the last last line, copy and past the output of the 'sfull' variable into a command prompt and it will run perfectly. (I've tried adding oStartInfo.UseShellExecute=False, removing the whole workingDirectory property line and just changing sFull so that it has the Startpath also, but I still get the error)
However, when I try it in the Winforms app I'm creating, I get the error.
Process.Start(oStartInfo)

View 1 RepliesC# - In A .NET Console App, Have A Line Of Text Stay Visible In The Console All The Time?
Jun 1, 2011I was thinking of adding a simple bandwidth monitor to a console application and I was wondering if it would be possible to keep a line in the console window visible at all times. I could set something up manually to pass new console output into a method that would get the contents of the console, clear the console, add the bandwidth data on the first row, then rewrite each line of previous information back to the console, etc.. but that seems like a really hacky way to go about it, and I'd be limited to the amount of rows visible at once in the console window (no scrolling).

Console Application Without Showing Console
Aug 8, 2010I am currently working on an application, where I am using a console application, that will set up the application prior to the main form is run. This is no problem I've got that all working perfectly, the only problem I have is that the console is showing while the application is running, I was wondering whether anyone knows any way in which I would be able to hide the console before it gets shown to the user.

Feb 23, 2011I am trying to send/print/write all possible ASCII codes (0-255) to another console-window application. From my application I would enter the name of the "receiving" application and the comma seperated hex values that should be sent/print/written to it. I have used AppActivate to select the "receiving" application and then have used sendInput and send.sendkeys to attempt to send the desired ASCII value. However, these appear to have limitations on values greater than 127. I need to be able to send all 255 values.

Dec 15, 2011How do I get the console from closing immediatley upon opening in a Console Application program? I have all of the code written but when I run the program it pops up the console window and then immediatley exits so I am unable to read what is in the window to see if my program is operating correctly. This is the first time I've ever used a console window so I don't know where in the code I would need to put "whatever it is" I might need to put to keep the window open until closed by the user.
View 7 RepliesVS 2010 Console Application Without A Console?
Aug 23, 2009It sounds confusing but it's not really. What I need is basically a way to emulate the console style text, without using a console. What I'm really doing is trying to do a matrix effect on my form background, by drawing symbols and moving them, alternating their colors (see this video for what I mean).
Is there a way to do this effectively with a timer and a draw event, with the timer calling the draw event and changing the intervals?

View 4 RepliesC# - Get The GUI Thread Of Winform?
Feb 1, 2011I have a winforms app with multiple GUI threads. I want them to be able to access each other's thread objects without having to keep track of that information separately.Is there a function in .NET that I can feed a winforms control or window object, and get back the thread? Or a function in the API I can pinvoke for the threadID?
Edit For those of you who for some reason believed my italicized text, congratualations, you're hired!! Here is the problem: "App is crashing in the wild by locking up totally, that is, it stop responding. Very intermittent, and trying to debug it, it seems to never happen."
So what do do? Install an option in the program that the user can activate under our direction, whereby from another GUI thread in the same app, do a thread.abort on the main GUI thread, then we can look at the call stack in the error log. Viola, found an impossible to debug error in less than a day. (Stop now, it had nothing to do with abusing multithreading:-)
I'll admit I almost didn't ask this, the reason I did was I could see an object reference to the main form, but there wasn't any for its thread. I'm giving Chris Shain the answer a/c it is a quick way, unfortunately when the thread is hanging, I wouldn't be able to do an invoke (it would hang too). A little more digging revealed the GetWindowThreadProcessId API call. But it's an unmanaged thread ID, apparently there are complications turning that into a managed thread ID.
So I bit the bullet and put in a global reference to the main UI thread. Would have posted it to begin with, but hadn't written it yet.In main public module/static class:

View 2 RepliesLaunch A .wsf From Winform?
Sep 4, 2011ok so i dynamically create a wsf for running an automated telnet session that works great!!(finally!!) but auto executing the script from my code is proving difficult for whatever reason.
I have tried:
Shell("C:shutoffscript.wsf") this produces this result.
also tried setting a bat file that launches the script and launching it as well using shell every time I launch it I get an error in the script that works just fine executed outside my code.
using outfile As New StreamWriter("c:" & "shutoffscript.wsf")
outfile.Write(sb.ToString())
End Using
MsgBox("Script built press ok to execute")
Shell("C:shutoffscript.wsf")
I think this has to be some sort of permissions error right? Since both errors tend to not be able to find the file. Just not sure how to fix it.

View 1 Replies.NET WinForm Memory Consumption?
Apr 19, 2011I've been profiling a WinForm's application using ".NET Memory Profiler".I can't quite seem to understand how my application is growing to 1GB, then 2GB, then 3GB of usage - according to windows task manager.
The private bytes using that tool, and "Total Bytes in All Heaps" shows only as 70MB or so. At the top of my list of instances hanging around, they are mostly String, or WeakReferences to lots of little objects.
All the application is doing is showing a form that loads data from a database. I repeat the show/dispose cycle of the form about 100 times and the growth is continuous.I've tried about 3 memory profiling tools now and none of them are showing me where this enormous amount of memory consumption is coming from.

In the DataGridView I can define values for the TrueValue and FalseValue and the Database is updated correctly.I can not find anything like this for the CheckBox control on the detail form.Am I missing something? It seems like if it is one it would be in the other for the same control.handle a CheckBox on a Detail form? CheckedChanged?, NewClass for the CheckBox (which I have not done before)? Other?
