Using Code To Open Another .exe File?
Mar 9, 2009
I would like to find out how would it be possible to make a executable be lunched at the click of a button from a vb.net form.what I have so far is a form with a few button on.for example:
button 1 is called 'RegEdit'
button 2 is called 'system information'
[code].....
this complied will lunch regedit as instructed but what I would like to do is to put the console app .exe file into a root file of the application.I would like to be able to have, once this project is completed, a main folder with the name of the app and then a sub dir called 'resources'. the 'resources' folder would have the various command line .exe with instructions to open various system programs.

I've gone through about 16 hours and two packs of cigarettes trying to figure this out. First a little background. I was using 6.0 up until 2004 when I went to prison. I'm out now, and trying to relearn the trade, using VS 2005. I'm currently porting some 6.0 code from another project, SpyCast Webcam Studio, into VB 8.0. It's disheartening, to say the least. None of the old built-in subs/functions work anymore, so I have to scour the forums to relearn each and every function.The section I'm doing now takes a snapshot from the webcam (Video API --> PictureBox --> Save as Jpeg), then upens the file to upload it to the server via HTTP POST. I've been using this code in SpyCast for years with no trouble, but I spent many hours trying to piece together the right code to open the binary file to read its contents. I pieced together two methods I found around the forums, one using FileStream() though the code I found wasn't for binary files, even though it said it was, so that code doesn't really work. Method two uses Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileOpen() and works better.
Here's the kicker. By the time I run through the rest of the rigamarole of uploading the file, by the time I read it on the webserver, it's *slightly* corrupted. It's a valid Jpeg, no errors, but the picture looks like when I use to watch the Playboy Channel when I was a kid scrambled with weird colors and whatnot. [code] Each "chunk" is basically one "line" of the file. It looks like a single LineInput() return is the text between two carriage returns. Am I correct? I tested this with a flat text file, and it looks true. However, That one input line returns the text or data with the carriage returns *stripped*! ***?!? =( Fine, I have no problem adding my own vbCrLf to each LineInput(), if I were opening text. but this's binary. A character could be Chr(10) or Chr(13), both of which are removed from the original file contents.So I could very well need to use something other than LineInput(), but I haven't found any other examples on the web using this method.

I'm making a tiny program that calculates a total for a user for some type of styling service. A user clicks the radio button for either hairstyle, perm makeup, makeover, or manicure. then clicks a discount radio button, either none, 10% or 20%. then it calculates the total (price of service - discount %). then it displays the total in the current service text box & keeps a running total and displays that in a second total box.
My problem is i try to run the program i made and it basically crashes. In the code, when in VB, there's an error message when you go over PriceDecimal, DiscountDecimal, and GrandTotalDecimal saying the variable is used before it is assigned a value.also is there any way to open a .exe file and see the code for it?
Public Class ImageForm
' Declare module-level constants
Const MAKEOVER_PRICE_Decimal As Decimal = 125D
Const HAIRSTYLING_PRICE_Decimal As Decimal = 60D

I have created an Excel AddIn that has a custom ribbon with some custom buttons...I'm using Excel 2010. One of the buttons is to save the the workbook by utilizing the users input as the file name. This workbook is to be saved as a template in a specified folder. The code also checks to see if the file already exists, and prompts the user to overwrite if it does already exist.The code I have seems to be working just fine. The problem is...when I try to open the newly saved workbook, it won't open.Here is the entire code for the button click event:
Dim Warning As DialogResult
m userFileName As String
Warning = MsgBox("Warning Message", vbOKCancel + vbCritical, "Warning Title")

This is the code I use to open a file:
Quote:
Public filecode As String
Public Sub getfile(ByVal filename As String)
Dim objReader As StreamReader
But I keep getting the filenotfound exception.
I replaced the file source with the actual location of the file and got the same error. I also checked the permissions of the application to allow sharing and remove read only properties.

I'm letting my users write their own HTML from my webpage. When they click the preview button, my code behind needs access to controls on the page (and so I understand I can't use a web method here). It builds the HTML and saves it as a file on the server. My question is: Once the file has been made, I want to automatically open the file in a new window for the user to see their handy work. I'm using vb.net, but happy to receive c# answers.

Why would a .sln solution file open and appear empty in Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express - i.e. no windows showing projects and code files etc.When I inspect the file in a text editor, it contains references to vbproj files (which are present) which indicate that it should not appear as empty.No error messages are reported when the file is opened.

I've noticed that when you click on a web page in Windows Explorer, or open a file in general, and the default application to open it is internet explorer, ie opens and opens the file. However, when I tried this on my Web Browser it opened, but ignored the file and went on its usual routine. How can I get my Web Browser to open and open the file that was clicked on in explorer?

I saved a file with the extension .doc. I use the RichText to write and save the text. I did not set any encoding type when I saved it. When I tried to open the file in the Richtextbox again, I got all the formatting characters in the RTF file. How do I correct this? How do I open and re-open a .doc file in the Rich Text box control without the formatting showing up in the box with the document contents?
