VS 2008 - How To Make Console Application Continue Running
Apr 1, 2012
I was thinking I could make a console application that would have a FileSystemWatcher - watching for a .BAT file being created in a folder - and when it sees that file it does a PROCESS.START on it. But I'm seeing that a console app doesn't continue running.
Imports System.IO
Module awcWatcher
Sub Main()
Dim fsw As New FileSystemWatcher("D:ACS DesktopAWCeportingstaging")
fsw.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.FileName Or NotifyFilters.LastWrite
[Code] .....
How would I go about making this wait and then wait again and again and again?

When running a console application, the dos window disappears without asking for a "press any key to continue", why? What setting in 2010 is not set correctly?

I have a VB application and I want to allow the user to choose an option between "OK" and "Cancel" buttons when he want to exit the VB application. So far, I cannot figure how to allow the user to click "Cancel" to allow the VB application to continue running. [code] So how do I allow user to click "cancel" button to prevent from exiting?

I have a console application and I have figured out how to type in the command window with Console.WriteLine() but i need to run a command (ex. net user) then wait for a response and type another command, for some reason I cant figure out how to type the command and automatically press enter without closing the window. I tried Console.WriteLine("net user") but all it does is write "net user" in the command window so I used My.Computer.Keyboard.SendKeys("{ENTER}", True) after Console.Writeline and it just wrote "net user" then exited the window. Is there any way to run a command through a console application? if so how would i do this?

I 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'm writing a command-line application in .Net. The app itself is fairly simple, but it has to connect synchronously to a web-service, which in turn has to connect to a Oracle database, and those pieces are fond of taking their time.
Is there a straightforward way (without dividing my app exe in two) to continue executing but nonetheless yield execution to the command prompt?
It's Windows, so no "&". Also, I cannot use cmd.exe's "start" cmdlet.

Okay so basically I want to see if I can make an windows application or just a console application in VB.NET that will verify an MD5 Checksum. I have no idea how to start this out, but I have the ideas of what I'd like to make it.

Would there be a way to make the system.drawing namespace available to a console application? ( i know this sounds silly, but all my application does is take a bitmap of a window and saves it to file, so whats the point in my application being form based)

I have a spellcheck program for an external application. My vb.net app calls a .vbs file to invoke the word spellcheck engine, runs the spellcheck, copies to MS clipboard and then I want it to automatically paste back into the active window. What my issue is, is that I need a delay or check of some sort in the code so that I can know when the vbscript has been completed before pasting text to to the window. I've tried the following but the app invokes the script then immediately checks to see if the script is running (which of course it is) so it's useless... Or is this something I should change/handle in the vbs file? I'm not very good with vbscript however.

Vb is not my language of choice , but I have to do this for school and I'm not having a very easy time with VB's documentation.I'm just creating a very simple console application that accepts user input: degrees in Celsius, and converts it into Fahrenheit. I want to make sure that if the user just hits enter without entering the degrees in Celsius, then an if else statement will catch and write to enter Celsius again.Here's what I've tried:

reate a program(console) that reads txt file as your database.
format
aron quiray,A02-0001,1
zoren baybayan,A02-0002,2
constatino raguindin,A02-0003,3
this will be on your text file.first run. it will ask the user to enter Employee code which is A02-0001 - A02-0003 then
it will display
Aron Quiray
A02-0001
1
350
then input a following time that serves as the DTR of the employee for five days note:5 days here are constant. so its much easier to debug.then take note. it must be 24-hr format. 1:00 - 24:00 12:00 - 13:00 are not included on the pay.if the employee or the entered time is 8:00 time in and 17:00 time out. it will return as 8hours only. assuming that the employee has its lunchbreak.hours will going to be save in a separate file which is dtr.

I was wondering it's it possible to read all the text being displayed from a console/terminal/cmd application (What ever you want to call it).
I would then want to echo that text in a text box.

I have a problem where I am running a Console App to obtain some computer information on a pc. The pc has the following specs:
Windows XP Media Center Edition 2002
Service Pack 3
2 GB RAM
.NET Framework 3.5
The script runs fine on my Vista Ultimate PC. However, my friend runs it on his pc and nothing is written to the file. The directory and the file are being created, but nothing is in the file. Is there something that I am missing about XP Media Center Edition?
Here is the code:
Dim cFile As String = "C:System InformationsystemInfo.txt"
Dim objWriter As New System.IO.StreamWriter(cFile, False)
Try
Dim mObjOS As ManagementObjectSearcher = New ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem")
Dim mObjCS As ManagementObjectSearcher = New ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem")

Can a console (custom) app be used to load/save scanned data in the scanner itself? The documentation with my scanner explains that a custom application can be used. Would that be a reference to a console app?

I am new to VB; am developing my first VB program; and require some help in getting started. I wish to query information from an Active Directory server using a Visual Basic 2008 console application. I have .NET Framwork 3.5 installed and VB 2008 Express installed. Do I need to install anything else (any additional libraries or components)? Is VB 2008 Express capable of accessing information from Active Directory? Where can I find information about the classes and methods I should use query information from Active Directory?

Is there a simple way to have a code library automatically detect if it's being called from a console application or a windows application? I'd like my library not to report to the Windows Event log if it's being called from a console window, but instead report to the console window. If however, it's not being run from within a console window, it should report to the Windows Event Log.
I thought about requiring my the logging component to be passed the log target, but it would be neat if it could just automatically handle these two targets natively. I don't yet require something as extensive as log4net, indeed, if it becomes necessary to provide support to log to a database/file and other as yet unknown logging targets, then I may recommend such a solution. For now though, just having my component auto-detect the environment and log to the console or the event log according to the environment would be plenty.

say I have a library, in which I added a few Console.WriteLine(..) statements tot during the implementation and see w going on when I use the library in a Console AppNow I want to use the same library in an ASP.NET app. Ideally I would be able to log on to the production webserver, and somehow start a command prompt and attach it to the website and see the messages in real time as they occur. How do I do that?

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.

How 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.
