I have a console application that is built in VB.Net. Now I have a timer in that application. All I want to do is at a particyualr time i will call another exe (which is built in VB 6.0) and again get the control back to this console application. Now what is happening is that I am being able to call the second exe from the console application, but then the control is not returning back to the same console application.
View 1 RepliesIt sounds confusing but it's not really. What I need is basically a way to emulate the console style text, without using a console. What I'm really doing is trying to do a matrix effect on my form background, by drawing symbols and moving them, alternating their colors (see this video for what I mean).
Is there a way to do this effectively with a timer and a draw event, with the timer calling the draw event and changing the intervals?
I'm using the WIA Aut. Library [URL] , trying to capture photos from 5 digital cameras (Nikon D90) USB-connected to my pc. Now, I partially achieved my goal, what I do is:
- loop through the attached devices, connecting to every camera;
- fotocamera.ExecuteCommand (WIA.CommandID.wiaCommandTakePicture) ;
- other image processing operations...
Everything works fine but... the workflow is camera1 -> connect -> grab pic. => camera 2 -> connect -> grab pic. => camera 3.....

I just put a button and a textbox on a form to try and learn to multi thread, i think i've done it correctly. but it still appears to freeze for a little bit just before it attempts to display the data. i think it's the invoking. Is it normal / have a done something wrong?

explain to me why the 1st example gives me an error complaining about cross thread yada yada....but the second doesn't, and works? this is inside a worker thread function
[code...]
I understand the concept of needing delegates and all that jazz when working with multiple threads, but why give me an error if there's no invoke required anyway?
I am developing a software that catches streaming data. Unfortunately, there is no pattern or sequence on how this data comes in. So what I have initially done is to catch then write to my MS Access DB. Unfortunately, while writing to the DB, I am missing some data that is streaming since writing takes a little bit of time before it goes back to the catching syntax.
I am planning to multithread the DB writing then just call it from my main program. Do guys know any website/tutorial where I can learn the basics for multithreading? I am using Visual Studio 2010. Or if ever, does any one of you have a sample program where I can just learn from?

I'm writing a really simple file updater which downloads files off from a website and saves them. The download routine is working well, except that it freezes the project while attempting to connect to the host. Easily solved with threading except now when I try to access other form items such as text boxes, labels, form caption, it says I am not doing it in a safe manner and prompts an interrupt in debug. I did some reading on it and I'm still not sure what to do, I'm very new to vbnet and it is still a little confusing to me.

I've got 4 projects all running very similar multi-threading HTTPListener stuff.I wanted to make these functions common - in some module - but I'm having a hard time getting the AddressOf the "callback" passed in.This was the code in one of the 4 projects
Private Sub StartRequests(ByVal prefixes() As String)
If Not System.Net.HttpListener.IsSupported Then
DisplayInfo( _
[code].....
The error occurs at: For i As Integer = 0 To txt_load.Lines.Count - 1..The project exists of 2 rtb's. One with a list of lines. The other will be filled with the converted lines. The main reason that I use it is that I want to use the app during the conversion. The second is that I want to learn how this works.[code]
View 9 RepliesRight now I have a Email class that has all the properties of an email to send it, and then a SendEmail function which takes those properties and uses them in the following
Public Function SendEmail()
'Exception handling
Try
[Code]....
The loop goes through each email in the array to process its email, however with the multithreaded function I cannot call
"EmailArray(i).ThreadSendBatchEmail()"
So how do I call an objects method when its on a different thread?
And I'm making it multithreaded so I can easily pause the process, and because the program freezes when the send() function is working, this would resolve that.
I am working with a console application for VB 10.
How can I replace data that I have already written with:
Console.Write
Or how can I write on a specific point: e.g. 100 lines, 100 chars left
In the same way that a program such as wget has a loading bar that does not keep getting replaced every time progress is increased.
I'm having trouble opening and running DOS commands through VB Express.I'm trying to have VB open a command console and enter path to a batch file. So far I have not been able to get VB to open a console and enter any text.[URL} Here is the code I am using right now (without success)

Im creating a simple app that has no need for a gui. I need to allow pasting into the console window by any means. Context window like command prompt or just ctrl + v
View 7 RepliesI was thinking of adding a simple bandwidth monitor to a console application and I was wondering if it would be possible to keep a line in the console window visible at all times. I could set something up manually to pass new console output into a method that would get the contents of the console, clear the console, add the bandwidth data on the first row, then rewrite each line of previous information back to the console, etc.. but that seems like a really hacky way to go about it, and I'd be limited to the amount of rows visible at once in the console window (no scrolling).

I am trying to run the following code (which I got from here). The code just creates a new "Output" pane in Visual Studio and writes a few lines to it.
Public Sub WriteToMyNewPane()
Dim win As Window = _
dte.Windows.Item(EnvDTE.Constants.vsWindowKindOutput)
[Code]....
Instead of running it as a Macro, I want to run it as an independent console application that connects to a currently running instance of Visual Studio 2010. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to set the value of dte. I think I may need to call GetActiveObject, but I'm not sure how.
I'm working on a console application that needs to write a line until a certain value is met and than do the same backwards until another value is met.
The line need to be 51 spaces wide, start and end with the pipe ("|") character and have a cross ("X") character in between.
I can only define both the characters once.
The result needs to be something like this:
|X_________X|
|_X_______X_|
|__X_____X__|
|___X___X___|
|____X_X____|
|_____X_____|
And then from the last line on, go back to form a big X on the screen and start over again, going over and over until a key is pressed.
I ran my console app succesfully 30 minutes ago. Added a single line to write a message out to the console, recompiled and now, when it runs, it eats up all the available memory before bombing out with an OutOfMemory exception! I can see the Memory Usage in Task Manager just rocketing up!
What on earth could be wrong? I can reboot the machines I am running this on as they are live servers.
How would I go about modifying the following console application? It calculates resistor color codes and I need it to be able to launch or work directly from a HTML web page. (I'm well aware my calculator can be simplified with case statements and loops, only bother with that if you want to.)
:Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim tens As Integer
Dim ones As Integer

I was wondering if it is possible to play an MP3 file in a console application without using the Windows Media Player control (which is a bit annoying to use and would be more annoying on a console application) or DirectSound (which is not available in VS 2010)?
View 7 RepliesI need to build an forms app that 'posts' or 'sends' text commands to an external console process, called Minecraft Server It is a java-based process, filename 'minecraft_server.jar'. Run by my computer via 'java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui'. The Process ID I assume would change each time it's run. This process can be downloaded here: [URL]
I am guessing that I need to:
1) find the Process ID for it, based on its process details, such as Command Line
2) figure out a way to 'post' these commands, commands such as "stop" into the console window
I cannot have this process launched by my VB project.
I'm making a console app that uses your name and then asks for a password and displays the text. So the start is like this
18:36:01 [Info] Program is started.
18:36:01 [Info] Please enter your name.
NAME GOES HERE AND THEN ENTER TO PROCEED
18:36:04 [Info] Hello Xoslize, Please enter the password.
Password Goes Here and then Enter to Proceed
Some Text Goes Here
How do I do that? I mean the enter to type text, etc. Btw, how about using color on every word?
Okay so i want to build an application that "wraps" another, the app that i want it to read console reports stuff like
[WAIT] Preparing world... 10%
and stuff, and it can take commands like
say kick, etc
So basically i want to know if i can read the console output in realtime and input to it as well.
I'm using VS 2010 express edition, Are there any settings for creating console application?I've done a simple program but it get stops while running.

I created a VB Console app and it defaulted to .NET 4 but I need it to be .NET 3.5. I've been looking but all the references I find say to change it on the 'Compile' tab in properties but I don't have a compile tab or anything else that lets me change the target framework.
Note: I'm using VS2010 Ultimate
How do I make VB.net console recognize the color red and green at XY-axis? I start up the program. The program check...if X450 and Y503 has a green pixel or something like that...do this. If X450 and Y503 has a red pixel or something lik that...goto line number. You know what I mean? I took the X450 and Y503 as random numbers.

View 5 Repliesso I am making a program that will run a server for a game. I've programmed a console into the form and it works but it only works until it is finished reading the slandered output.

Basically i am creating a console application that will create and store client information as a .txt file it is going okay but i have come across a slight hick up i want to use something on the lines of this .....
dim lastname as string
Do Until Integer.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), LastName) = False
Console.WriteLine("Invalid input, Please try again")
Console.Write("LastName:-")
[code].....
this works fine to trap out numbers from letters but the problem i am getting is when the program calls uppon LastName it is recording 0 and wanted to know if there is a way of getting past this ..... so basically i need a way to allow letter but not numbers and symbols and then dispay a pernolised error message but at the same time use Stream writer to save was the answer is in a .txt file.
