As I run it through more largely populated DGVs (200k items), I run into an InvalidOperationException saying that rowIndex=190000 (just some high number) is an invalid value for rowIndex.The error seems to appear more or less randomly.When tested on DGVs with 20k items, it seems to complete fine (though it may just be luck and the error isn't popping up).
I am developing an application which launch an external windows app, ei called APL.exe Also, this APL.exe launch two console utils, ie. named CON1.exe and CON2.exe I would like to know if is there any way, after APL.exe has died, of killing CON1.exe and CON2.exe, because there is a small possibility that they will not died completly after APL.exe has exited.Also there is another requirement. My final app version could be executed twice in the same machine, so there could be two instances of CON1.exe and CON2.exe, and because this I need a way to kill them not by process name, but knowing which of them has been launched by my current application instance.

View 8 RepliesI want to be able to read and write the process memory of Firefox for a game on facebook(It's kind of like cheating only you can't cheat, nothing stays permanent.) this is just for fun. The game is called happy fish aquarium and you raise fish in the game and it's just really addicting. I found a program that reads process memory and lets me change certain values in happy fish aquarium so I can make my fish tank look different or whatever. But if I reload the page it will of course go back to the original state because the fish tank's memory is held online. The point is, I just want to make a program that can read the process memory from Firefox from a certain range and bytes. like 4 bytes and a range of 00400000 to 7FFFFFFF. Does anyone know how I can achieve this? Please note, this is not for cheating purposes in any way whatsoever, it's simply for visual fun(visual meaning only I can see it). What I want to do is the same as using the add-on firebug in firefox to change the html on a webpage.

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.
We are currently changing our Antivirus program which involves uninstalling our current one first. That isn't a problem but we have several laptop users not in the building who might have a problem uninstalling programs.
It should be possible to write a script/program to automate the uninstall process I guess, but don't know where to start. Can someone point me in the right direction?

View 8 RepliesWhen starting my application, I have a couple of classes which are required to read certain files in order to create a set of default data. The logical place (to me) to do this is in a Shared class constructor; the idea would be to throw a class-level event if the reading of the defaults file fails. Unfortunately, this does not work as attempting to access such an event, in order to attach a handler to it, fires the class constructor before the event has been attached. In a failing case, the constructor starts, fires the fail event, the constructor completes, and then the event handler is attached, after the event has fired.
The only other solution I can think of is to give the class a "typeInitialisedSuccessfully" boolean property and put a try/catch block around every call to construct an instance of the class, which seems unnecessarily kludgey to me. Can someone suggest a more elegant solution?
EDIT: Because this is a fundamental Class, used in one form or another across nearly all of our software tools, I would greatly prefer a solution that will notify future programmers that the type initialiser needs to be called, which is why I initially went towards the Shared Constructor as a solution.
I mainly just build little apps that are mainly useful to me. So please be gentle.
I am currently working on a program that will paste text into a second program. The text will paste into several different fields automatically.
The problem I am running into is that I need my program to check for running processes(as the second app will already be running). I seem to have done this just fine. When I then need to "use" that process
I use myprocess.start()
This of course starts a second instance of the application in question.
How do I basically use a process that is running as if I used the command .start()?
How can I kill the excel.exe process in SSIS during the data flow task when it fails? There could be multiple instances of Excel.exe running from other packages that are perfectly valid so I don't want to loop through all instances killing them.My problem is that during the data flow task the process will sometimes fail due to a sheet that is named incorrectly or missing columns. This keeps an instance of excel.exe running which is now an orphan task eating up resources so it needs to be killed.At the same time there are other SSIS packages running that are accessing their own excel.exe process and aren't having any issues. So how can I kill the orphan excel.exe process without impacting the other excel.exe process?
View 2 RepliesI have written a windows service that is meant to launch a notepad when a specific action happens. 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. By the way the process is listed as a SYSTEM process rather than a process under my user name (i believe that is because my process is a "LocalSystem" one).
