VS 2010 : Running Dos Console Commands?
Dec 8, 2011
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)
Private Declare Function GetShortPathName Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetShortPathNameA" (ByVal longPath As String, ByVal shortPath As String, ByVal shortBufferSize As Int32) As Int32
Private Sub des_date_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles des_date.Click

I have a console application and I have figured out how to type in the command window with Console.WriteLine() but i need to run a command (ex. net user) then wait for a response and type another command, for some reason I cant figure out how to type the command and automatically press enter without closing the window. I tried Console.WriteLine("net user") but all it does is write "net user" in the command window so I used My.Computer.Keyboard.SendKeys("{ENTER}", True) after Console.Writeline and it just wrote "net user" then exited the window. Is there any way to run a command through a console application? if so how would i do this?

I 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 am writing a windows gui front-end for a game that uses 6 open cmd console windows. The cmd windows are already open, I do not need to launch them, I just need to be able to send a command to a named cmd window by pressing a button on my Visual Basic 2005 Express form.

I am using sub main and no application framework. This gets rid of the single instance option for the program. I want to be able to have my app handle mailto but it needs to be single instance.
I have:

I have a pretty simple question, I have a form with a text box and was hoping if it would be possible to get my program to run a command and to use value in the textbox in the command? and if possible then to pipe the output to a text file
ie if my text box has ip address 192.168.1.1 and I click on the run button I want to run the following command
ping 192.168.1.1 >d: est.txt

i have been looking everywhere for the method used when you click the [X] Button so like that i can run some commands on form exit. I found Form_Unload method replacing Form with the name of my form and no luck. I'm sure there has been some talk on the subject but searching forum shows nothing that seems to work.

Is there a simple way to have a code library automatically detect if it's being called from a console application or a windows application? I'd like my library not to report to the Windows Event log if it's being called from a console window, but instead report to the console window. If however, it's not being run from within a console window, it should report to the Windows Event Log.
I thought about requiring my the logging component to be passed the log target, but it would be neat if it could just automatically handle these two targets natively. I don't yet require something as extensive as log4net, indeed, if it becomes necessary to provide support to log to a database/file and other as yet unknown logging targets, then I may recommend such a solution. For now though, just having my component auto-detect the environment and log to the console or the event log according to the environment would be plenty.

say I have a library, in which I added a few Console.WriteLine(..) statements tot during the implementation and see w going on when I use the library in a Console AppNow I want to use the same library in an ASP.NET app. Ideally I would be able to log on to the production webserver, and somehow start a command prompt and attach it to the website and see the messages in real time as they occur. How do I do that?

I'm trying to run an app (GacUtil) which is normally run through a console window, directly in my winforms app, but I keep getting the error:
"The system cannot find the file specified"
Here is the
Dim AppName = "gacutil"
Dim BaseOptions = " /i"
Dim oStartInfo As New ProcessStartInfo
Dim sFull As String
Dim sStartPath As String = Path.GetDirectoryName(TextBox1.Text)
[Code] .....
In this case, the DLL is in C:, and 'GacUtil' has been added to the Environment path variable.
I can put a break point on the next to the last last line, copy and past the output of the 'sfull' variable into a command prompt and it will run perfectly. (I've tried adding oStartInfo.UseShellExecute=False, removing the whole workingDirectory property line and just changing sFull so that it has the Startpath also, but I still get the error)
However, when I try it in the Winforms app I'm creating, I get the error.
Process.Start(oStartInfo)

I was thinking I could make a console application that would have a FileSystemWatcher - watching for a .BAT file being created in a folder - and when it sees that file it does a PROCESS.START on it.

I have a console application that is ready to be used as a windows service, I have been looking around for a couple of hours and tried many of the tutorials out there but none of them worked with me.
The closest one was: [URL] but it didn't go into the process of doing it. I converted that code to VB.NET but then I don't know where to go from there. I have the Module1.vb which runs my console application all ready to be used.
show me a way to use my console application as a service, I tried using the InstallUtil feature but my app never showed under "services".

When running a console application, the dos window disappears without asking for a "press any key to continue", why? What setting in 2010 is not set correctly?

It 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?

Im just starting to develop an application using a SQL Database as the main datasource. Now im wondering is it better to use the in-built dataset adapters or write the querys yourself?
If its better to use the pre-generated scripts by using the Datasource UI, How can i use these datasets on a JOIN query?
Example Join
SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name1
JOIN table_name2
ON table_name1.column_name=table_name2.column_name

I am currently in the process of writing a demonstrative program that will generate a string of 9 random numbers in a textbox. Now my basic knowledge of VB 2010 allows me to do this but my goal is to delay the generation of this number sequence until the my progress bar has progressed to the end. How can I insert a delay after my button activates my progress bar/timer without stopping all function and usability of the program all together. The basic wait function seems to lock everything up for the allotted time and then the number instantly generates and the progress bar begins.

I prefer having total control for data access, populating recordsets (now datasets) precisely via a connection string and SQL select (or stored procedure call), etc.Now I wonder whether I really should be using the Data Sources option which just popped up on my radar? From the little I've seen so far, it seems to bind an entire table to a control, whereas most of the time I only need a small number of records from large tables.Before I spend a lot of time investigating, I hope a quick word from you might help me feel happier continuing as I am, or whether I need a kick up the backside towards a Better Way.

I write in VB2010, the software should work with the external hardware via RS232, the thing is when I send a command to the external hardware I have to wait for a reply from the device that command was received, just after I got the answer I want to continue send another command, I have a long sequence of commands i'm supposed to send, but I need to know for sure that the commands were received before I go on to the next command. I did the following code, but I think the code is not effective, because sometimes I do not get an answer and then the whole sequence commands destroyed. Maybe you can help me optimize the code?

My project involves making a table database that displays student number, surname, first name, homeroom, and grade avg. Through SQL commands, there must be functions to add, update, delete, search by field, and save records to the database.I have already set the database up just fine and displayed it in a DataGridView. Through the DataGridView, I was able to go to the "Add Query" area, and I successfully made the queries necessary for searching by field. However, when I try to do anything other than a search using the query builder (ie start my SQL command with INSERT INTO or DELETE FROM), I ultimately get the message "Failed to get schema for this query"For example, this SQL code (to add an entry to the database) worked when I was in the Query Builder (and the entry that it made is still in the database), but when I finally tried to confirm it, I got the "Failed to get schema for this query" message.Being unable to add entries to the database this way, I tried to do it with textboxes on a form. Each textbox will have one of the fields, and at the click of a button, they would be put into the table. My code is below. I do not know what is wrong withit. When I run it, my fields do not appear on the DataGridView immediately, but I must run the program again to see it. The time after, the entry is gone. So I am not sure how exactly such entries are to be saved.
