View 13 RepliesI have been trying to create good multithreading programs and it is not working well considering the use of global variables, local variables etc and thread safe controls. I have not found a good way of doing it since it seemed to be not as efficient as just running it on a single thread.
The program accesses facebook and twitter api, parses etc. and I am wondering if I can just create new tasks and map the program project file and fire new instances of the project. Someone this using the taskfactory in 2010 but I thought this was just the same as the threadpool. on this: create windows services and set them to run on task scheduler??

I am trying to schedule a batch process to run every day in the morning at 4:00 AM.
How can i run a command prompt to execuite FormPost.exe and them click on "start" button, all via command prompt?

View 1 RepliesI am trying to execute a shell command with vb.net that includes variable from the vb.net code.I have experience with batch, and Unix scripting. I had to modify the contents of the code as it is confidential to me at the moment.Example of my problem:
Dim Variable1 As String = "Location_to_.exe"
Dim Location As String = "UNC_Path_Goes_Here"
Dim Options As String = "/Options go here"
Shell("cmd.exe", /C Variable1, Location, Options) This is something that must be run from CMD.exe and I am trying to do it this way to make it as dynamic as possible.
Lets just say we have this as Command1 Dim Command1 = "whoami.exe >> C:Hello.Txt" The program will read a list of users from a text file and then perform the action on each of them. If the user does not exist, or they are part of a password protected computer, I would like to see that in my printout. I have this but am Unsure how to write the If Then Statement (If that is the ebst route to take)

How would I do that? Below is my failed attempt.
myControls.AsEnumerable.Select( Function (myControl as Control) ( myControl.Visible = (myControl.Name <> "Hidden")) )
It compiles and even executes but does nothing.

I have been searching for a good code example that will place a small server program on my server and then allow me to use a client on my pc that will tell the server program to run a batch file on the server.
I thought this would be simple... I am finding it not that easy.
We have a server that users need to execute a command on however we do not want them to have login rights to the server so this will allow them to execute the batch file without having to log in.
