I've been testing out my code with various executable files on my C: drive....some work and some do not work. I've been able to successfully open Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Excel, and Notepad; however, when I try opening various other executables the following exception gets thrown:
A first chance exception of type 'System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception' occurred in System.dll
I cannot figure out why some programs open just fine while others cause the above exception to be thrown.

View 1 RepliesI am currently building a "program launching application" for personal and home use.Basically all it does, is have a toolbar for example File, Edit, Run, Programs ect....Run will bring down a list of common command prompt buttons which then, once clicked, will load cmd and input said code.
Example
Under run > cmd > IPconfig/all my code is as follows:
Private Sub IPConfigurationDisplayConnectionConfigurationToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles IPConfigurationDisplayConnectionConfigurationToolStripMenuItem.Click
Dim Command As String
Command = "ipconfig /all"

This started happening randomly yesterday. When I press F5 to test my project, an old build of the program (circa yesterday afternoon) launches. No changes (and I've tried in a few different files) are reflected in the project. However, and this is truly perplexing, if I go to Build --> Build from the Menu bar, the output .exe in the /bin/release/ directory DOES include all the recent changes.

View 3 RepliesI am developing a VB.NET based application which requires administrative privileges in order to run properly. However I went through several tutorials online and it all mentioned how to do this using a mainifest file. The problem with this technique is that whenever the program is opened I need to type in the Administrator password, however I want this to happen automatically. (The user should not type the Admin password, the password must be entered from the code level)[code]...

View 1 RepliesI have a web browser on my form and it is definitely big enough to warrant a tab control, with the web browser being on the second tab. I have a button on the first tab that should have the browser navigate, but how do I make the program automatically switch to tab 2? i.e., this is what happens:
1 - user is on tab 1,
2 - user clicks a button on tab 1,
3 - the program does what it needs to do and automatically switches to tab 2
For instance, here is the button that will be clicked:
Private Sub swap_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles swap.Click
If video = False Then
[Code].....
So the button will make the web browser go somewhere, I just want to have the form switch to the other tab automatically so that the user doesn't have to do it. I tried using webbrowser1.focus() to no avail. Is there a tab switch?
I want to make a program that starts at 15 and countdown to 0 automatically that's the only thing I want no buttons just automatically.

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to install an app on a windows server that is always on, but I'm running into problems. I've heard that I shouldn't make it a windows service (and would personally rather have a dialog app so I can see progress, etc) so I'm trying to use task scheduler. However, task scheduler keeps trying to close my app prematurely when it should only open it and leave it open.how I could have a dialog app run on startup (and stay running) on my server?

View 3 RepliesLet's say my browser goes to a page similar to this one below ..
Picture Is Here
On this page there is a hyper link called 'Click Here' .. when I click it, it opens another window with things in it.
How can I click this hyper link in vb.net automatically without me clicking on it with the mouse, and how do I open the window in a second web browser ?
We can assume that the first browser is called (WebBroswer1 ) and the second one is called (WebBrower2).
I know how to perform buttons clicks and do raise the 'OnClick' Events, but I don't know how to do it with a hyper links.
How would i make a program automatically align to one side of the screen, and fill the whole side? (Like windows sidebar).
View 9 RepliesI am trying to write a VB program to automatically detect and identify a particular device that will only communicate to my program when I have 2 or more devices plug into the USB port. One way of doing it that I can think of is to scan through the available port and do a write and read to identified the port. But that would take up a lot of time if I were to scan through say 5 available port.
