I want to launch a browser session from a Windows App to load a specified file using system.diagnostics.process.start("http://www.abc.com/doc1.doc") but I'd also like to specify that there shouldn't be a toolbar etc. on the browser window. Is this possible?
View 6 RepliesWe create a window service that will launch multiple process of an application with different configuration. And application further communicate with sql server. It works fine when we start service manually from service manager. It launch all the process ( try with launching 3 process ). But when we test it by restart the machine and service launch automatically then it launch only one process third one. I check the event log in event viewer. I see the following message by MSSQL$MSSQLEXPRESS service
Login failed for user 'dduser'. Reason: Failed to open the explicitly specified database. [CLIENT: <local machine>]
one thing we also tried by delaying ( with thread sleep ) the code execution of service. Then by starting machine again , it launch 2 process , first one still not launch.

View 9 RepliesI have an application that gathers information from a user into a Win.Form and then uses the Process.Start() to start Notepad and then using Sendkeys write the Notepad document.Sometimes this works great and sometimes the Notepad window is not started as the foreground process and the document is not written.What is the best way to ensure that the window opened by Process.Start("Notepad.exe") is the active window for the duration of the Process?
View 10 RepliesI am storing a session variable that a user types into a textbox. With their valid input, their session gets created and they get a little more functionality than the regular end users of the site.I was wondering if it is possible to find a way to add someone's session variable to the end of a URL. This way we can email a link to one of our clients, they click it, and their session has automatically begun. They already have the textbox to enter their code into, but I was told that it would be much easier for the users to just click a link that will start their session.

I am building an internal web page which retrieves binary data from a SQL database, converts the binary to an image file, then opens the file on the clients PC.In debug mode, this works fine, because the program downloads the file successfully into a temporary directory, converts it to the image then uses System.Diagnostics.Process.Start() to launch the image file in the associated image viewing program.However, as soon as I upload it to the server, two undesired things happen:
a. The file gets saved on the servers temporary directory, instead of the client temporary directory (I kind of expected this to happen, so this wasnt much of a suprise)
b. System.Diagnostics.Process.Start() does not launch the file successfully. Nothing actually happens when it gets to this part of code, however I suspect that it is trying to launch the process on the server end, instead of the client end.
how I can get System.Diagnostics.Process.Start() to launch on the client end OR how I could get the image to just appear in the clients web browser instead?

The program opens with the correct registry value, but the program itself does not run quite right. This program feeds into Intergraph and brings up the selected drawing, but there is a feature of intergraph that doesn't work. If I manually start ( double click ) pdsicon.exe the program works just fine. It only when I call the process that it doesn't work quite right.

I'm using Process.Start to start an external command line application and using the StartInfo.Arguments method to send parameters to the application. I imagine I'll need to use a loop... but I can't figure out exactly how yet.I need to send anywhere from 1 - an infinite number of files names to this application. Each file has to be sent one after the other. So once the first one is done, I need to loop back around and past the second one.I can probably use the Directory.GetFiles method to get all of the files, but I don't know how to assign them.

I've commented out various things to limit it to specifically this command (example, I can swap mklink out with notepad and it works fine). The command runs fine from a DOS window, but can't be found when I use it this way. I also tried using the SHELL command just to test and I get the same results. No idea why it can't be found, as like I said it executes from the command prompt just fine.

My app starts an On-Screen Keyboard process like this:
Dim PID as System.Diagnostics.Process

PID = Process.Start("C:WindowsSystem32osk.exe")
:
[CODE]...
It seems to work 90% of the time. However, sometimes the PID.Kill() fails because it says the process already exited. At this point the OSK is always still there on screen. Yes, I know my code should be testing to see if the process is still running before trying to kill it, but given that the OSK is still on screen..
I have a program that starts another program after setting the regkeys basically the program continually syncs the calandar of outlook and another application.I set the regkeys than launch the c:sync.exe app. I have tried a simple process.start and launching the process as a thread and they both do the same thing: The other process starts and works as it should but my main program goes "White screen" or "not responding" until the process.start has exited.
I want the process.start to run in the background so if users click in my main app it responds and truly that they can access the context menu of my main app from the taskbar while the process.start is running.
Trying to create a button that when clicked will check to see if a certain process image is running and if that process is running give the process focus. If the process is not running then start the application.

Is there a way to do a Session.Abandon() when the user just kills the session by X'ing out with the little red X box in the upper right corner? I am seeing situations where after an "X out", the user comes back in and it seems like session variables are still present? I guess explorer keeps them intact? (I am unsure of this).
View 2 RepliesMany of our users, internal and external, start our web application. Then at some later point, they open a new window from within the browser. They want to have 2 independent sessions of the application running. However, by doing it this way they are actually using the same session data.
Is there a way, in code, to determine if there is another browser window open with the same session?
We're using VS 2008, C# and/or VB.Net.
COMBINING MY RESPONSES FROM BELOW:
Maybe I'm saying this wrong. When they open a second window and change it to a different widget number, and then go back to the original window, on the next post-back it will be using the second window's widget number, not its own. We are using IE7.
Does session variable shared accross different browser? If not is there away that I can share information accross browser similar to the functionality of caching but the scope is wider.

The problem i have is that even though the service launches notepad, the actual notepad it self is NOT visible. I know that it has been launced because i can see the process in the task manager.

convert the code to be used in a browser with tabcontrol? I tried, and it works with one that DOESN'T use it, but I want to use it with my browser with tabcontrol. And, I have read ALL of the ones previously given to other people.
How would I go about starting a new process without it being the child of the calling process.
Example:
Main Program (Caller.exe)
process.start("file.exe")
i use System.Diagnostics.Process.Start to run a process
example :
Dim p As New System.Diagnostics.Process
p = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("D:ProjectApplication.exe")
it works perfectly during run time. but after i deploy to server.... this code did nothing, it did not call out this process
