VS 2008 Redirect Standard Output Woes
Feb 26, 2010
i have a form app that needs to get the output of a console app in real time.or as close to it as possible.[code]that is my code so far, and it seems to work great for everything other than the actual console app i need it to.when i use it on ping commands it comes up in my text box perfectly.when i use it with my console app (which i don't have access to the source for) it outputs nothing until the app closes, sometimes.it depends on the arguments given. i am 100% sure it is the way the app is written but there is nothing i can do about it.so is there any way to get the desired functionality some other way?

Every time I try and redirect input and output of command prompt I have a problem. The debugger itself crashes! Something must really be wrong. What is a good way to launch CMD and send commands to it, receive output.

From my application I need to run a command and parse the output. I can do this with no problem but I don't want the command to be displayed. I hoped WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden would work but it doesn't. Take the sample code below for example. It works fine but the command window still visibly opens and closes very quickly and I need it to never show its ugly face. How can I fix this?

I am having trouble redirecting standardoutput and standarderror from a command line program that dumps a lot of numbers to the screen. I've looked through a lot of similar posts and think my code matches what it should be doing (asynchronous reading of the data with appropriate invokes for writing to the log text box) but it still just hangs the application until my p.WaitForExit times out. Once it times out and I kill the process, a chunk (but not all) of the data is written to the textbox in from the OutputDataReceived event handler. Any ideas what is going on here? I've seen some posts regarding buffer size, but that apparently is fixed (i.e. I can set a buffer size of 1 and receive every char). Below is my function to execute the process and two relevant event handlers.
Private Function ExecuteWallGen() As Boolean
Dim bResult As Boolean = False
Dim szExec = Me.ExecutablePath & Me.WallGenExecutable

I made a Visual Basic program that adds an interface to some Windows network diagnostic tools like Ping and Telnet. Currently the program opens a new DOS window and displays the results. For each system you test or each time you hit the button it opens a new window.
What I want it to do is redirect the output back to the program and display it using a List box or whichever is the best choice for displaying results. I have checked out posts that talk about capturing the text and redirecting it back to the program but I can never get those to work.
Is there an easy answer for this or does it entail a lot of additional coding? I am using Visual Studio 2008.

I am trying to redirect the output of a c program which generates output in the console. I can redirect the output once the process exits. But is there the way to redirect the output as and when there is some output in the shell window? I require this to make it understandable that the program is running and since different steps of the c code may take, say 10-15 minutes to run.

I'd like to have a macro in Visual Studio 2005 that calls a DOS command and redirects the output (stdout and stderr) to a file. Just calling the command and ">" redirecting it will not capture stderr, so there are two parts to this:
calling a DOS command capturing both stderr and stdout to a file during that call
I'd then like to open this file in Visual Studio after the command completes.

I want to launch a file from a VB program and capture the output of that file in a text document.Here's an example:Process.Start("systeminfo.exe > Data.dat")This doesn't work. I get an error that the file cannot be found. I've tried using Shell instead of Process.Start. I've also tried replacing systeminfo.exe with a variable and replacing the redirect portion with a variable.The ultimate goal is to get the text file e-mailed. So, if it were possible to output to the Clipboard, then paste that to a file or directly into an e-mail client that would also work.

My application periodically starts console programs with process.start. I need to monitor the output of the programs in "realtime".
For example, the program writes the following text to the console: Processing...............
Every second or so a new dot appears to let the user know the program is still processing. However,... until the programm outputs a CR/LF, I am not able to retrieve the standard output of the program (while it is still running).
What can I do to get the output in realtime for - let's say - piping it into a database for instance in VB.NET?

I wonder if it is possible to write and capture errors when running a script to PowerShell.In my case I am using the following code:[code]' add an extra command to transform the script output objects into nicely formatted strings' remove this line to get the actual objects that the script returns, for example, see the script "Get-Process" returns a collection.[code]

I use the following code to read the standard output from a command line application from a main winforms application, and then I use the BeginInvoke code to update a textbox with the status. What I am not sure about is if I can have a smoother process. The code loads up about 10 to 20 text inserts, and those are all seen at once... not a smooth process where each status is updated. Any thoughts on if the reading of the standard output and/or the beginvoke code could seem more smooth to the user?
Delegate Sub UpdateUIStatusHandler(ByVal StatusMessage As String, ByVal JobName As String, ByVal Direction As String)
Dim ProcessJob As New ProcessStartInfo(GSyncExe, RunJob)
ProcessJob.UseShellExecute = False : ProcessJob.CreateNoWindow = True : ProcessJob.RedirectStandardOutput = True : ProcessJob.RedirectStandardError

Based on the title I'm sure you all understand what I want... So, I need to work with CMD through my app. and I searched google and vbforums and I found some solutions but none of them helped me because all I found was either older version like VB.net 2005 like this topic HERE (and this is exactly what I want) and found some in other languages like c# or c++ that I really don't now them..

I've been working on automating our build processes and wanted to come up with a painless way to run unit tests on a regular basis. To that end I've thrown together a simple app that examines the project files and prepares a list of solutions to test. The prototype works in that the tests are executed with the expected results, but as soon as I try to redirect my output the app bombs on the Process.Start call, complaining that a file could not be found.
I've tried several iterations on what I've seen done elsewhere, including several posts here, but I have yet to get this to work properly.
This works:
Private Function WTF(ByVal aWorkingDirectory As String, ByVal aFileName As String, ByVal aArguments As String) As Boolean
Dim lProcess As New Process()

send the text from a certain line in the hidden console window to a textbox in the form, but I need this output while the console application is still running in a hidden window. Since I am going to have multiple instances of this console application running, I have assigned their processes to an array and each have a separate "hidden" console window. After I launch these applications (with different arguments assign to them), they require no input and will run until I ".kill them" using the GUI.The console application was written in the old C and it's source code scares me.
I am creating this GUI "bolt on" application for it in VB.NET 2005 to clean up desktop space (save me from 30 console windows) and to be able to start, stop, and monitor them from a single clean GUI.Attempted solutions:I have reviewed the information [URL]But again, that just tells me how to capture the output of it after the console application has exited, which I already know how to do and I do not wish to kill the application just to see a certain line of it's output as it would obviously interrupt what it is doing.

I am writing a command line application in VB.NET. This application is calling another one, msxsl.exe, to run an XSL transform. I am using the Process class to do this:[code]What I want it to be able to display the output from this process to the console of my application. I have read several posts explaining this method, but it does not seem to work in this case. The output is an empty string.[code]I have verified that if I run the msxsl executable on its own (i.e. running "msxsl.exe base.xml test.xsl -o styled.xml"), it displays output on the command line. What am I doing wrong?I should note that the msxsl process is currently failing due to a malformed XML file. It is displaying this error message:[code]This is exactly the type of thing I want displayed in the console of my application (or, eventually, a log file.)

how to redirect outputs from console to a window form text box,but the console application I'm using is always running real time, thus my .net application hangs until I close the program that is read real time.The code displays the application to a 2nd form with a textbox multi line. Until I close that my entire program hangs and the console application monitored runs.
How do I code it to:
1. Run real time without hanging the entire program.
2. the console app must run at all times. (figured how to hide/ and no window created for it)
Sub Console()
Form2.Show()
Dim myCon As New Process
myCon.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False

This is probably a really easy question but i cant seem to find an answer anywhere.I've got a datagrid in which the first 2 columns are comboboxes.I have them populating from 2 different datasets but what i need is for the second one to be filtered, depending on what is selected in the first.How is the best way to pass the selected value from the first combo to the query in the second?On a related note, how can i set the combos to values i pull back from a query?Basically I'm running a query to pull back a load of information that has been previously entered and then populate the grid so that it can be viewed/amended, but i cant seem to set the value (or the display value) to what i pull back, even when it appears in the list of options in the drop down.

I'm trying to figure out how to get mixed-language support working in Visual Studio 2008. In my app_code folder, I've created two subfolders (CS, VB), and added the following to the web.config file:
[Code]...
The main application is a VB.NET Web application (with a .vbproj file). Any time I attempt to open a C# file from the app_codecs folder, it treats the file as Visual Basic for compilation and syntax checking purposes. It still tries to build the classes in the CS folder as though they were Visual Basic. (The extension on these classes is, indeed, .cs.)

I usually use standard button and do the settings like causevalidation etc if required.
i decided to use toolstrip and inserted some buttons but end up that it doesn't do the validation for control and also doesn't call leave event of textbox control.
so my question is, anyway to use regular button functionality for toolstripbutton or there is a way to add regular button on toolstrip.

I am trying to add a TabPage containing a UserControl to a TabControl at runtime, because the number of TabPages to add are determined at runtime.
The UserControl (objDataInfo) is just two Textboxes, two labels and two Radiobuttons, nothing too exciting...
The TextBoxes have their Anchor properties set to Left, Up, Right so they scale with the width of the usercontrol.
The TabPages are added in the constructor of the form, which takes the number of tabpages to create (n) as an argument:
vb.net
Dim cList As List(Of objDataInfo)
Public Sub New(ByVal n As Integer)
[Code]....
So... How can I get the standard BackColor of a standard TabPage?
(I tried leaving out the usercontrol all-together, but the TabPage still has a gray background...)

I'm using VB2008 Express and I'm using the ListView control for the first time. My problem is that I'm trying to add an item to the listview on one form (frmMain) to another (frmItems) but it's not doing it. I'm using subroutines and have discovered that it seems that the command has to come from within the form the listview is contained itself. But even if i have the subroutine in the same form, it doesn't work if i call it from the 2nd form.

i have a list that has things that needs to be looped. This list can be up to 500k items.I would like to add a multithreading option with a variable. This is not an issue, as I know how to make multiple bgw's (Code below)
i = spin_NumOfThreads.Value
Dim bgwrks(i) As System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker
For Each bgworker As System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker In bgwrks[code]....
so in that code, it'll make the number of threads based off of my spineditor.Now, ideally i'd like it to go through a list, each thread does its thing.Now, a simple dowork would just allow it to do 1. i would ideally like it to stay @ X threads until the list is done, so how would I basically go about remaking a thread once it finishes to continue? So, lets say I have 50 items in a list, i set the number of threads to 5.The first 5 would do the first 5 items, when the 1st one finishes, it works on item 6, then the next would do 7, etc. and it'd keep remaking until 50 is done.
