I want to run this "rar a -rr10 -s c:ackup.rar c:file.txt" DOS command in vb.net, my main problem is that i want to compress file in Winrar software using vb.net coding. a button is press in window form that compress the file.
This "rar a -rr10 -s c:ackup.rar c:file.txt" DOS command compress the file.txt to backup.rar
I am using a CheckedListBox that is populated with Filenames (full path, i.e. C:TestTest.jpg)When I have the files that I want in the CheckedListBox I wish to click a Start Button which will process the list one at a time using an exe program that runs on the Command Line. There are arguments that need to pass to the command line as well as the file location in order for the program to process.I currently have it working but the issue is the loop finishes quickly and it is left up to the CMD.exe to finish the process. What I would like is for the LOOP to wait until each file completes processing before passing the command for the next file in the CheckedListBox.There some reasons I wish for it to work this way.
1) I would like to have a button that can Pause/Restart the Loop.
2) I would like to have a button that can Stop the Loop so the whole process can end.
3) I would like to have the Loop remove each file one by one from the CheckedListBox after it has been processed.
4) I would like to display a Message once all the files have been processed.
5) And if it were possible I would like to report the status either by text or a progress bar showing where it is at in the process.
6) And the ability to add some error handling if possible.
Since the Loop finishes so quickly as it just passes the command to the command line using the & as a seperator it is the command line that is handling the rest of the process. Because of this there is not control over it in the GUI.The code I am using allows the Command Line text to display in the Form so it won't open up a seperate window to run CMD.exe. This is the desired affect as I would like everything to appear to run from within the Form itself.
[Code]...
If e.CommandLine.Count > 0 Then
Dim IncomingCommand As String = e.CommandLine.Item(0).ToString
If IncomingCommand.Substring(0, 2) = "-1" Then
form1.close()
End If
End If
I am trying to make the program close if the -1 string is sent with the program. See my installer allows for me to run certain programs before it actually installs, but it doesn't shut down copies of the program itself. So I have a next startup instance set to shut the program down if the -1 is received. But if the program is not running it starts up instead. This is not desired. form1.close doesn't work. e.cancel = true doesn't work, etc etc. What can I do to make the program not start during this instance.
This is going to be a lot to ask, but I'd like to convert my old GW-BASIC program to a command line program with arguments. I'd like it to operate as follows:
elapse [drive:][path]filename This is my old code.
5 CLS
10 OPEN "G:Calc.txt" FOR INPUT AS #1
20 WHILE NOT EOF(1): INPUT #1, A$, B$
30 IF MID$(A$,3,1)=":" THEN C$="DOUBLE DIGIT":GOTO 50
40 IF MID$(A$,2,1)=":" THEN C$="SINGLE DIGIT":GOTO 120

I'm a bioinformaticist, I'm trying to teach myself how to develop programs that are easy for everyday users to automate programs used in biological research. I thought VB would be great for helping people be more familiar with bioinformatics. Unfortunately, I'm brand new to VB and am stuck with my first program.
All I want to do is have a window pop up where the user then selects a file from an OpenFileDialog box, and pass the filename to a bioinformatics program names msconvert. What I've been doing keeps giving me a message that seems to says, "Unhandled exception has occurreed in your application. . . . File not found."
However, as you can see in my code (below) I have a MsgBox that shows that the correct file HAS been selected, and I can get the whole thing to run from command line.[code]....
how can i make my own program must run with command line? if the program run without command line, it show some error msgbox..

How do I make a program run only when it is executed with a command line? For example, if you press WINDOWS KEY + R, and then type in
"firefox.exe -profilemanager"
It will open up Firefox's profile manager. How do I make my program do that, except, if it's command line is "program.exe -letmein" it'll open form2. And if it's opened manually, (by doubleclicking or anything else) it'll open form1.

View 4 RepliesI have been trying to fix this and make this work for pretty much three days now. I already solved one problem being, I can't use the shell on one HDD and create another file onto a different drive other then the drive that the directory of the application is running in.
EX:
If I run a program that is on the C: drive and using a working directory that is on the C: drive, I can not create a file onto the F: drive.
I got this problem when I was just using Shell(Environ$("Comspec") & " /c then the command")
So I decided to use Process()
Dim p = New Process()
p.StartInfo.FileName = "F:Visual Basic ProjectsCode TestingCode TestinginDebugToolsMediaInfoMediaInfo.exe"

View 3 RepliesI have created a VB.NET program using windows forms. The program runs on a remote PC and displays information on a screen. The computer does not even have a mouse or keyboard connected to it. The program shows the information based on the file that is loaded.I want to be able to change this file remotely to another file that is already on the remote PC. I can't use a graphical remote desktop client as we have very limited bandwidth.So, my idea is to change the file using the command prompt.I'm not sure how to do this. Should I use something like this and load DosModule first:[code]How would I then read commands that is send to the program? I also only want one instance of the program running.
