VS 2005 Running External Program "out Of Process"
Jul 15, 2010I'm trying to run the "Shell" command in a VB.NET project, to execute an external file. For example: Shell("c: empmyfile.txt").
For some reason this throwing a "file not found" exception, yet the file is there. Now I've looked around and found that others recommend using the "System.Diagnostics.Process" method, which does work, however I don't want the file to run in-process, which is what that does.
I want to run the file out of process, so that when my program ends, the executed program keeps running independently. Hence my attempt to use Shell() but it refuses to work.
Is there another way besides Shell() to run a file out of process?

Running An External EXE Inside My Program
Oct 11, 2009What I'm wanting to do is gonna sound pretty strange. I play a game called Wonderland Online. Usually while playing, I will have between 3-4 instances of the game going at the same time, each instance running a different character. Also, I will have open another program that I wrote that helps me figure out what I need to manufacture a certain item in the game. The running game is an 800x600 window, and I have all 5 of these windows open at once, where I am constantly moving things around, minimizing and maximizing.I want to create a app that would basically be a frame for the game. Creating the frame would not be hard, but this is the first time I have tried to get an external EXE to basically run inside of my program. Is this even possible? And if so, I would imagine I could run multiple EXEs and flip between them inside my frame. I could integrate my manufacturing program into the frame, as well as control which instance of the game is visible inside the frame.

View 3 RepliesUsing WSF (Windows Scripting File) To Retrieve Component Services Running Process ID's Using Running Process Name
May 7, 2009I am trying to write a Windows Script that will allow me to monitor the following: That 2 x seperate but specific processes within Component Services "Running Processes" list are currently running and have not reset within the past hour. If I already know the PID, then I can retrieve the CreationDate (I assume which I can use to check for restarts? or is this the actual process creation/installation date) for each specific process, however if a restart occurs the PID will change and my script needs to know what the new PID is without me telling it!

View 9 RepliesChecking The Return Code Set By A Task / Thread / Process / Program?
Apr 16, 2010A long time ago, on a PC far, far away from Windows, one MS-DOS program (the father) could run / execute / spawn another MS-DOS program (the son). When the son terminated, it could set a return code which could certainly be interrogated by an MS-DOS batch program or, I think, by any father program that invoked it (depending on the language in which that program was written). I have a small utilility which I want to invoke from my application, and, since that utility sets a return code, I would like to interrogate it in my application when the utility terminates. I've looked through the MSDN Library but could not find anything that seemed to cover this situation. Is there a way to do this in Visual Basic 2008 Express

How To Exit The Program (dispose()) Instead Check If A Certain Process Is Running
Jul 8, 2009I'm not asking how to exit the program( dispose() ) instead I have a program that checks if a certain process is running and if so it displays a message box, stops the process and (Should) exit the program. If the process is not detected then the program loads normally and opens an external program. My problem is that it stops the process and still runs the program. How can I fully stop the code and exit my program?

Office Automation :: Excel Process Continues Running (.Net Framework 3.5, VS.Net 2008, .Net 2008)
Apr 15, 2011I'm calling the following method from a button click event to export a datatable to excel. After the export is completed, the excel application object is quit, released and assigned to nothing. But in reality it's not getting released and stays active unless the entire application is closed. So every time the button is clicked for export, a new excel application object keeps on running. The problem doesn't occur if two of the lines from the method below are not used. But I can't omit them as they are really needed. Check the * marked lines.
Code:

VS 2008 - Process.waitforexit Is Hang Up When Running On Windows 2008

View 2 RepliesVS 2008 Remote Detection Of Running Process?
May 7, 2009OK, I was talking to someone at work and he came up with this idea that I should make a program that notifies me if a certain process is running.
There is a process on another PC that I want to check if it is running or not because due to extreme memory usage issues of the program, we only run one instance of it at a time.
What I want to do is make a program so that I can know if that process is running without having to get up and check. But I'm not sure where to start exactly.
My friend said maybe use the WMI. With the WMI will I need a host/client program, the host detecting status of the process on the other machine which sends a message to the client program on my PC telling me if it is running or not.
I've never done something like this before so all I'm asking for is some direction into what technologies I need to be using and maybe some guides on how to go about this as I have no clue where to start.
VS 2008 Thread Performance - Processor Not Running On Full Speed With The First Code?
Mar 10, 2011Not really asking for code, but I'm interested in knowing the basics of "thread performance".For example, you try to copy a bitmap in a pixel by pixel operation. (Is slow, but it is a nice example)
[code]...
This is, of course, very buggy and causes a lot of violation errors etc. But that doesn't matter right now. How come the multi-threading way is so much faster than the regular routine? Is the processor not running on full speed with the first code, and is it working harder on the second?I find it weird to see this type of "threading performance increase", as if every single thread gets their own piece of processor speed allocated like it is a new process
