Oct 20, 2011I have an executable (EXE) that I would like to run from within my VB.NET program. I've looked into Process.Start("[PATH][EXE]"), where PATH is the path to my executable, and EXE is the name of the executable. However this throws an error, saying "The parameter is incorrect".

VS 2008 Starting Program In Already Started Instance?
Mar 14, 2011how to PROPERLY make a multi-tabbed or multi-window application that can handle file start requests.
For example, on startup my "Desktop Application" runs and sits there waiting for a task, either through the main menu, or for a file to display in a window. Now the problem is simple, how can I make this already running program load the dropped file (dropped on the executable (!)), instead of starting a new instance.
I understand I will have to check if the process is running, and if so, do some stuff with it. But the problem is passing the message to the active program.
Previously I used text files with paths/arguments in them, but I don't like the idea of the OS/program checking every 500 ms if a file is created in the "load this" folder...
Then I thought of sending a message using "Send Message", for example changing the text in a textbox and handle the "Text Changed" event, but is this reliable? Can any other program interfere with it?
So, basically I need the proper way of doing all of this. For example, Microsoft Visual Studio does this nicely, and no lag whatsoever...
Where Is Resources Folder, Starting From App Path
Jul 12, 2009How does the exe app know where to look for its Resources folder? In the development folders of my app it is in one place relative to the GetCurrentDirectory, but in a different set of run-time folders, the relative path is different.
Is there a My.Resources property (or some other property) which knows where this folder is? System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory tells the app where it is, is there a 'System.IO.Directory.GetResourcesDirectory' (except of course I know there isn't)?
I want the user to be able to copy image files from wherever into the Resources folder without the user having to look for it (the Resources folder) themselves. I can do the OpenFileDialog1 bit myself, I just need to know where to place the chosen file.

VS 2008 Starting A Form On A New Thread?
Oct 10, 2010Ok so my main form takes around 5 seconds to load i can't make it so that my load subs are on a seperate thread because too many cross thread calls being made besides i want a splash screen anyway i want a splash screen on a seperate thread that can update status while main thread is loading this way main thread carries the load subs and invokes status label changes in the splash form which is on another thread
this is my code
Dim SPForm As SplashForm
Public Sub LoaderSub(ByVal Splashed As Boolean)
If Splashed = False Then
[Code]...
what happens is the splash form shows and so does the main form but they both lag for 5 seconds (as if they are both on main thread) how do i make it so that the splash form loads from the new thread? I thought the way i did it that's what should happen...
EDIT: also why did code wraps failed to show proper vb code?

VS 2008 Starting An Application After Installation
Dec 16, 2010I have created a setup project that after the installation, starts the app that is being installed. To do that I have added an Installer class to the app I want to get started and I am using it's commited event to start the app (Process.Start("...myapp.exe").
While this works fine on XP, on Windows Vista the application gets started as a "System" user which makes some parts of the app missbehave i.e. retreiving special folders of the user etc...
This is the question: way to start myapp as the logged in user? Mind you I will not have the credentials of the users.

Jul 27, 2010I�ve had a problem iwht my app for some time now. It�s very slow and above all it takes forever to startup. I�ve been adressing som issues that has to do with the database behind it.Recently I noticed that the app is starting an instance of excel, which seems to be what�s taking it so long in the starting process. The app is using access as db, and the db has some linked excelsheets. The app is also running some code in excel, but it�s starting, and terrminating, separate instances for that.The linked excelsheets are also "live-linked" to another app (third party), fetching real time data via DDE I think.
View 1 RepliesVS 2008 Starting Position Of Form?
Jul 7, 2011I have a "Please Wait..." form that I show when doing some long task. This works quite well. But I cannot seem to control the opening position of the form. Currently I am using:
WaitWindow.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterParent
WaitWindow.Show()
and this is just being ignored. The window opens at random locations. If I change it to CenterScreen, that works! But I don't want it center screen, I want it centered on the parent. Can I manually set the location? I am using VB 2008 Express and the wait form is a plain windows form.
