VS 2005 : Determine Whether Processes Have Been Opened Or Closed During A Given Time Frame?
Feb 11, 2010
Is there a way to determine whether processes have been opened or closed during a given time frame? I'm working on code that will take an initial copy of your processes list, and then based on a timer, continue to take copies, which will compared to the initial processes list to determine which processes have been opened or closed until the timer ends. I'm capturing the processes list's in an Array list.
Dim processesList As String //Initial processes list
Dim processActivity As String //Opened or Closed processes
Dim processesAtStart As New ArrayList // Initial processes as ArrayList (To Compare)
Dim processesCheck As New ArrayList // Latest processes as ArrayList (To Compare)
I have a Visual Studio 2008-SQL Server 2005 app that will be throwing alot at it. It's my testbed learning app. I'm also a student of this craft(43 years young) like another poster posted on another thread. I come from a PICK/BASIC jBase background. Anyway as-is my app has a connection to the database that is opened on form load. I close the connection on form close. It's a one form app currently. Is this wrong? It seems that maybe I should not have a connection opened possibly all day. I'm looking into incorporating Datasets, dataAdapters into my next phase of evolution. I looked at the material and it's tough. For me anyway. But I will get into it. I will fetch the data into a dataset so that I can keep the connection open only for a little while. I was turned on to this "keep the connection just as long as you need it" idea from someth
I am in the situation on preventing connection leaks. and one of the possible solutions is to make sure that all opened connections are closed after transaction. That means closing the sqldatareader too.
I am confused on the part of closing the sqldatareader. if the method that will be read by sqldatareader encounters error, it is not successfully initialize. If this happens, i will encounter an error once i close the sqldatareader. does it mean the most proper way of closing sqldatareader is like this?
I have an app that opens and closes several other forms. How can I stop the fade in out of the forms when they are opened/closed in used in Vista/7? It just gets annoying.
My program will need to store some settings for when the program gets closed then opened again. I would then like to reload the settings, and I was wondering what is the best way to do this with VB?
i need to generate a category report that calculates the percentage of the tickets whereby the ticketstatus are closed and opened.I have to get the percentage of opened tickets by:(number of open tickets/total number of tickets) * 100 with that, i came up with a function in the class
below is the code:
Public Function DBSelect_TicketCategoryOpen() As DataTable Dim local_dbConn As New SqlConnection Dim local_sqlCommand As New SqlCommand
I've tried searching this forum for an answer to my problem with no luck. I've set my program to allow multiple instances of it to run. Is it possible for each instance of it to determine if it was the first, 2nd, 3rd, etc to be opened? It would be very useful if for example if the program has been opened a 2nd time I would like to be able to load a different set of parameters for certain things for the 2nd instance. The same with the 3rd instance.
I'm trying to build a simple desktop application to keep users on a certain website. It's very simple, just a webbrowser control with right click disabled. However certain applications on our website require popup windows and those windows always open up a full browser window. [code]....
Since it will be run by the user I don't want the user to have to do anything but send the IT department the log file it creates.
What I want to do is see if a folder on the network can be opened successfully. I do not want to ping it, but actually open it and see if it loads. I can do this for a website by retrieving the http status code, but I can't find any references to something similar for explorer.exe. Here is a basic flowchart of this part of the program:
ping server --yes--> access \server_namefolder --no--> access \server_IPfolder --no--> Authentication Issue --yes--> DNS Issue
Note also that just checking authentication won't work because it could also be a DNS problem. I guess I could check them both, but I would rather do it this way if possible (and I don't know how to go about checking either one)
I'm building an Outlook add-in in Visual Studio 2010, using VSTO with VB.net, to sync Outlook Calendar data with an internal, proprietary Calendar. Our users want to be able to open a recurring appointment in Outlook, send the Appointment details and have the internal calendar update with the recurring appointment details. I actually have code in place that works just fine for creating recurring appointments and single appointments. The problem is that I can see no difference (when viewing the AppointmentItem or RecurrenceItem members) between a single occurrence of the series being opened, or if the entire series has been opened; all the data is the same, all the functions have the same result. I can see there's the difference in menu bars, but I don't even see a way to detect that difference.
i have a small issue while developing a windows application using VB.Net . i will explain the scenario here. My application contains one form which has two tab buttons. say tab1 and tab2. In tab1, i have an option to download data from various sites. this takes few minutes. lets say 15 minutes. and in tab2 i have an option to view the logs. my problem is i am unable to click the tab2 unless and untill the downloading finish. my doubt is how to do more than processes at the same time. if i am right we need to use threading concept here.
Does anyone know of a good way to have a user enter an amount of time (hours and minutes) using winforms controls? At the moment I have two numeric up downs, one for time and one for minutes that I then parse to create a timespan. The only other idea I have is a text box that a user can enter a "00:00" time in, and validate the input. Both of these ways seem a bit bad (in UI terms) though.
Is there any way to determine whether a form was closed by clicking the "X" button or by calling Me.close? They both fire the FormClosing event, but I need to determine how the form is being closed so I can do different things.
I have a CheckBox Question in VB 2005, I will have a bunch of checkBoxes not checked but once I check them I would like to display the check the next time the program is opened. How would I do that?
I'm Using VB.NEt 2005.... the Problem is...If I close Mdiparent When i've opened many MdiChild Forms All Forms Also Closed.I Want that when MdiChild Forms opened if i Press Close Button of MdiParent Form there Should be a Msg that "First Close MdiChild Forms " then Close Mdi Parent.
I am having hard time determining how to get 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place determined by time. I was thinking about bubble sort through an array, but since I am determining lowest to highest based on numbers = runner it just sounds more confusing. The code to determine second is not that efficient, I know there is an easier way. That is the part where I am stuck.
Public Class Form1 Private Sub btnCalculate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCalculate.Click
In our VB 2008 we are making a lot of connections to sql server 2005 databases. Is there a possibillity to check with a program or a tool of 2005, all connections are closed?
What I wanted to do is close all opened workbooks. This code does the work IF there is at least one or more opened workbooks. My problem is IF there is NO opened workbook at all; It goes around unendlessly in the WHILE Loop. How do I not process the closing IF there is no any opened workbook at all? (NOTE: I found this code from somewhere else.)
Several years ago, I created a nifty data entry form that is called from a main menu. Due to recent user requirements, I had to create another form that is very similar to the data entry form. To prevent duplicate coding and testing, I created a class to inherit the existing data entry form. The issue is when I leave the class and return to a sub menu, the class is opening the main menu and the sub menu. How do I only return to the sub menu without the main menu appearing? Here is a snippet of my code. You'll have to scroll down to the very bottom to see the section that is causing issues. BTW, I coded the application in such a way that only one form should be open at a time.
frmMenu (main menu). This is nothing more than a bunch of buttons that allows the user to perform various functions.If user clicks button #1, open the data entry form:
Dim objFrm As New frmDataEntry bolOkToCloseForm = True Me.Close() '--- close the menu screen
To summarize, my program uses a textbox to display the chatroom from a text file on the school network. When someone sends a message, it writes that message to the text box like so:My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText(baseDir & room & ".txt", Message, True) The baseDir is where the chat files are stored, and the room that the user is in can be altered by the user. created a scroll bar to use so when the chat room reaches a certain length of lines, you may use a scroll bar to view the whole chat. I realized that when someone sends a new message, the scroll bar then jumps back to the top of the text box. Is there any way to fix this, so that it will jump to the bottom each time someone types something new?
Dim lines As String() = IO.File.ReadAllLines(baseDir & room & ".txt") Dim numLines As Integer = lines.Length If numLines > 20 Then
Im using Visual Studio 2008 Ive created auto click programs through tutorials, Mouse Recorders, also through tutorials. But nothing is helping me with the project at hand. It has now been a month of going through basic VB.net tutorials, and more advanced ones, all with success.. but none telling me what I need for this project.
So here is the project.
When I open this program.. it will have two buttons.. Start.. and Stop. Both set with hotkeys(which I have figured out how to do). When the program starts, it will work, kind of like an auto clicker, but the clicks I need in different, set locations, and with a different time frame in between clicks. The whole program will loop until stopped(with the hotkey).
I've been asked by management to convert all of my applications from VB 2005 to VB 2008 (in preparation for taking them to VB 2010). I have a VS 2005 application that uses an ADO Data adapter which was defined using the GUI. I normally define my connections in code, but have been asked to get away from that in favor of ADO (and similar) data adapters.When I run the conversion wizard in VS 2008, it appears to convert this program, with some warnings and I get the 'Conversion Completed' dialog box. However, the VS 2008, will not let me close the dialog box, even after waiting for 3 hours. The only way to get out is to reboot the system.
Is there a way in VB.Net to determine if the timezone the current system has daylight savings time in effect? Of course I can get the offset from GMT using the "z"/"zz" formatting option, but that doesn't tell me if DST is in effect for the current timezone or if the current timezone is in standard time...or if DST/Standard time aren't even an issue in the timezone for the system.
way to reset a timer if there is form activity so it will not expire until the mouse has been at rest for 2 minutes.
This timer runs for 120000 milliseconds usually, and sometimes it lapses (and logs you out) when you are in the middle of editing. Sometimes 2 minutes is not enough time to do all the edits. So I wish to reset the remaining interval as long as there is mouse activity. But I am not sure the best method to do this?
I have found the mousemove event but to me this seems like it's going to fire way too often and tax the resources if I preform operations here, maybe not? Is there a better way to get this functionality?
I want this functionality so that if someone starts editing on the UI and walks off/gets distracted it will lock the grids back so that some other user can't come dork things up.
