The following VBScript code runs smoothly when I use cscript and/or VB console applications:

For some odd reason, the VBScript code only works on cscript but when I call in the code to the service, it doesn't work...
We have made a console application in vb2008/2010. Is there any possibillity to make from this a service?
View 1 RepliesI have a console application that is ready to be used as a windows service, I have been looking around for a couple of hours and tried many of the tutorials out there but none of them worked with me.
The closest one was: [URL] but it didn't go into the process of doing it. I converted that code to VB.NET but then I don't know where to go from there. I have the Module1.vb which runs my console application all ready to be used.
show me a way to use my console application as a service, I tried using the InstallUtil feature but my app never showed under "services".
I have a .dll file (Interop.ACTMULTILib.dll) that I use to connect to a PLC. This .dll contains a sub called ReadDeviceBlock2(byval devicename as string, byval size as integer, byref data as short). When I call this method in my main it works fine, if I call it from another method that was called by main it works as well.However, it doesn't work when I call it from my Timer_Elapsed sub? I guess this has to do something with threads but I can't figure it out.
Module Main
Private Timer As New System.Timers.Timer
Private PLC As New ACTMULTILib.ActEasyIF

I am a starter in scripting. So my scripts are as easy as you see.
The following script is to check currently stopped services, which are "auto start" by default.
You just need to creat "C:hostnames.txt". Then type the servers that you want to be checked, every line one hostname.
Run "Check services.vbs".
Check services.vbs:
Const ForWriting = 2

i was wondering where visual studio install package actually installs a service. I have a vbscript that is suppose to start my service with the code below but it can't seem to find the service or can't start it.

Set colService = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from win32_Service where

My other question is, is there a way to throw two VBscripts into a vb service install package and have the scripts installed onto a local folder and then set two GPO's (User Logon and User Logoff) to run the two scripts?
'the below just creates a text file for my own sanity. Both files get 'created so I know the service is running as it should and not crashing. 'timer ticks every minute so if I delete the files once they have been 'created, they get recreated
Dim TextFile As New StreamWriter("C:LRQuadrant" & "test111" & ".txt")
TextFile.WriteLine("blah blah blah")
TextFile.Close()
I have a file called john.vbs. It only contains the following vbscript
'DIM objShell
'set objShell = wscript.createObject("wscript.shell")
'objShell.Run("CMD /C dir /s > dirlist.txt")

i have a Windows service that is hosting a WCF service through net.tcp and this is working great. I have also created a WCF service application. I am trying to add the net.tcp service reference to the service application. Then I add it to the GAC that goes ok but if I try to RegAsm the WCF service application to allow it to be called from Server.CreateObject I get the error:
Warning: Type library exporter encountered a type that derives from a
generic class and is not marked as
[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)]. Class interfaces cannot be
exposed for such types. Consider marking the type with
[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)] and exposing an explicit
interface as the default interface to COM using the
ComDefaultInterface attribute.
It does not work. I have tried to call it through a class library but this does not work either as the end point is not set correctly.
I have written a window service. and I am able to successfully install/run the service. Now I have added a timer to the service and I want to be able to adjust the interval via the registry. But I can't figure out why GetSetting("MyAppName", "MySection", "IntervalSetting") will NOT return the value in the registry!
Am I missing something? Does GetSetting() not work when called from a windows service?
In a VB.NET application that runs as a service, I am getting a value of "Nothing" returned when I use Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(). The same code executes correctly when the application runs in desktop mode. I am not much on VB.NET and unfortunately, this is not my code.
Code:
Dim regURL As String = "SoftwareMyCompany" + _
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetCallingAssembly.GetName.Name + _

I have a console application I'm using to run scheduled jobs through windows scheduler. All the communication to/from the application is in email, event logging, database logs. Is there any way I can suppress the console window from coming up?
View 5 RepliesI have been struggling to get vbscript working for last three days of relentless effort. I have windows 7 ultimate and upgraded from windows vista. searched the web for solutions and tried out all the options I think I have, but yet no luck.
I tried registering vbscript.dll and I get a succeeded message back. Everything seems to be fine. but, I just cannot run vbscript on my computer. It complains that "can't find script engine vbscript for script ....". I have a hunch that it is something to do with "microsfot security essentials (my virus protection software)" or with UAC.
i'm working on a project that simply changes the wallpaper periodically...it works fine...I created two seperate projects...1) a forms application 2) console application........The forms application gets the data and settings from the user....the console application reads the data and settings from text files created in the forms application and does the job of changing the wall paper...i've got mine set to change every minute...I realy want to get this finished, but am stumped by a few things....
1) how can i get my console application to run as a windows service..have tried the SC Create command..no good.
2)how can i get it so the console program runs as an icon on the system tray near the clock.
3)When i want to publish to create the setup.exe...should i somehow merge the two projects together or publish each one seperatly and use some sort of batch installer.
We have a web app that contains web methods. I want to invoke one of those methods from a console app. I am new at this but I wrote a console app, added a service reference and tried to code invoking it. If my web method is called "Transmit", I expected to see Transmit in the namespace I specified but instead I see "TransmitRequest", "TranmsitRequestBody", "TransmitResponse" and "TransmitResponseBody".What are these things?Have I done something wrong?How do I invoke the web method in the web app from the console app?
View 1 RepliesI am writing a control application for an inteface card. The complicated work of initialising communication with the card is written and working fine. However, my problem is to update the text in a dialog label on the communication interface form from a module that contains all the coding for accessing the inteface card. From the module, the interface dll returns data that describes some typical connection errors and the module then calls on Public Subs in the form to display error messages; for example:This is the Public Sub in the Module that initiates communication with the interface card:
Public Sub OpenDeviceInterface()
DeviceID = 1 - My.Resources.DeviceID
h = OpenDevice(DeviceID)
Select Case h
Case 0, 1, 2, 3
[code]....
What happens when these Public subs are called from the module is that the MSgBoxes I made to test the routine show up but the label text doesn't appear.I've tried; Refresh, on the label and the form without success...
An application I maintain has been around since VB6 days - ported to .Net 1.1, and now being updated/rewritten across to .Net 3.5 The application provides a mechanism to run VBScripts - this was done in a highly integrated way - allowing the program to parse multiple .vbs files and produce a list of all of the subroutines and functions - which were then available within the application alongside core functions.
Previously this was an embedded msscript.ocx - in the first .Net conversion, this was wrapped in Interop.MSScriptControl.dll, however, on Windows 7 this just isn't working. It looks like this is really not the way to be doing this anyway - Microsoft seem to be trying to kill vbscript.
Is there a 'supported' way of using VBScript, or is it time to move on? and if so, where is there to move to that provides the same sort of functionality?
I have a .Net Console application which displays thousands of lines on the console each minute. I want to convert it to a Windows Service, however I still need a way of viewing these messages. There are far too many messages to write them to the event log or even a standard log file. I was wondering if there were a way to write a systray app that could simply intercept these messages from the service and display them in a console window. I have no need to save older messages, I only need to see current activity.
View 2 RepliesI have a console app that is supposed to async call a web service...i don't get any errors but the completed handler doesn't seem to complete correctly. I have a subroutine with a loop that is supposed to fire off say 6 seperate calls to another routine that calls the service. The completed event handler routine puts data into the database..If i put a thread.sleep under the call to the routine calling the web service. The completed event handler fires but only one record is put in the database instead of the hundreds expected and only that one webservice call appears to fire.I should mention that this works as expected when calling the sync method of the web service within a console app and the asyc calls work as expected from a windows forms app. I just need it to work async within a console app..
View 1 RepliesI'm developping an ASP.NET application, and I need to use an old VBScript file that would be really hard to translate into pure VB in a VB function.
This VBScript is supposed to return an array that I'd like to use it in the VB function that called it.
How could I call the VBScript function in my VB application and use the value it returned?
I've search how to do so through many forum and FAQ, but it seems that these results where mainly focused on old version of the .NET framework.[code]...
I 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.
View 12 RepliesHow 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 RepliesIt 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?

This is a bit of unusual problem that I'm experiencing, but recently one of the users of a production application started reporting errors in the system. These were traced to a 503 Service Unavailable error when making a call to a web service used by the application.
Now here's the odd part, only the one user is affected by this issue. Other users of the application have not reported any errors. When the user logged on to a different machine that worked for another user, they still received the error.
I have a program that i'm trying to convert into a service (it has no interface anyway).
