VS 2010 Running A Cmd File Within VB?
Aug 15, 2011
im v ery new to VB, im designing a game launcher within VB and everything is very simply done. I have 4 buttons currently, 3 of them link to websites and work a charm, but what i need is a 4th button to launch a game via a .cmd file. I tried by using simple commands like:
Shell("C:Program Files (x86)NCsoftAtomixatomix.cmd")and Process.Start("C:Program Files (x86)NCsoftAtomixatomix.cmd")
Both of these options worked in executing the .cmd but it caused an error within it. The cmd works perfectly fine when executed manually from its directory but when i try and execute it via the launcher i get an error.
[Code]...
Just tried it with a .bat file also getting the same issue of not being able to find the bin32

If I have an flv file how can I display the flv to play inside 2010? I tried the web browser function which will display a function like loading the page, but I am only interested in playing the file itself, is there a way to load a specific player that will load the flv file?

So I have this in my coding:
vb
file = My.Computer.FileSystem.OpenTextFileWriter("c:command.bat", False)
file.WriteLine("@echo off")
file.WriteLine("cd " & TextBox2.Text)
file.WriteLine("adb shell dumpsys meminfo " & TextBox1.Text & " > C:Sample.txt")
file.Close()
Shell("C:command.bat")
What I want it to do is to run the batch file without it opening if that makes sense. Right now this runs on a loop for 10 minutes and on every 2 second tick it opens and then closes the .bat. Which is really annoying to see a .bat open and close every two seconds. Is there anyway to get this process to run silently in the background so the user doesnt even know that it is running?

I 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!

I am trying to download a file off my web server (easy) but the file its downloading is the updated version of the file running. I finally was able to program my automatic update software the program simply downloads a .txt file from my web server, reads it, and if the the version = (new version here) then download. If not, then go to another form. The problem I am getting though, is when the version is outdated, the file will go to download the new .exe and it gets and error saying "File already exists"

I am trying to build a simple AutoUpdate application using VB.NET. It was quite simple. That is, I put the newest ZIP file in my hosting site, and then download it using WebClient.DownloadFileAsync. After it get downloaded, I extract it using [URL]
But each time I run the unzip.exe using Process.start, Windows 7 always show Open File Security.
Is it possible for VB.NET to bypass such security restriction?
Btw, this is my code of using WebClient.DownloadFileAsync, in case any one google about it and landed on this page :
Public Class AutoUpdate
Dim installationFolder As String = "C:Program Filesxyzabc"
Dim updateFileNameTarget As String
Private Sub btnStartUpdte_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnStartUpdte.Click

I have developed a program with vb2010, created an installer with installaware and installed the program on my develop laptop and on my normal desktop pc (both win 7 64bits, but program runs on 32 bits).So on my laptop it run perfectly, but when I try to run it on my desktop pc, the only thing I see is the admin message (the program needs admin rights) and than nothing happends (even checked the taskmanager, it shows the program for a short while and closes it even as fast as it opens).I don't know what went wrong, the installer checks the framework which is needed (4.0), but I have that already installed on my desktop pc.

Yesterday I was using VS 2010 just fine, I was doing my code and hitting F5 and if all was right it ran.Today I start up my computer again and load up VS though and...F5 does nothing and the little play button at the top is greyed out. This is the same on any of the programs I open up.How do I let myself test programs again?

Basically what I have are two loops, one inside the other, that will run until the given condition is met. Exactly what I want. My problem is that I want to be able to use the controls, like buttons, while a loop is going on.
I originally did not think of this until I had built this part of my program, what I want to know is if there is a way to use controls while a loop is going on or if their is an alternative.
1)I know timers can be used to meet these goals, but they did not work out as I had hoped and using two timers (1 to represent each loop) I do not believe is efficient.
2)I have considered using recursion, but have found this may not be very efficient either and am not quite sure if this will do what I want.
These loops run as long as the number the user inputted. So it could theoretically run for 100,000+ times. I am not looking for speed, but it would be good if there were a faster method that allowed me to use controls while it loops.

I've just created a program in Visual Basic.NET 2010 Express Edition, and the program works great on my computer. Unfortunately, when I try running it on other computers, the process on the Task Manager for it comes up for literally 2 seconds and then goes away, and the program does not run. Basically, the program doesn't open. I'm not sure why this is happening, and I'm not getting any errors.
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit, and I've tried getting it to work on two other computers, with no luck. The first one had Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit, and the second one had the same operating system as my computer. All computers have the .NET Framework 4 Client Profile installed, which is what my application is compiled to work with. I also tried compiling it to use .NET Framework 4 (without the Client Profile), and that didn't help.
If it helps, my References are as follows (which I believe are the defaults):
- Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs
- System
- System.Core

I have a form which has a menu bar. This bar then has sub-menus i.e. the top menu is passwords and the 2 sub menu's are change password and delete password.This works fine when the user selects the menu item by clicking with the mouse
Private Sub ChangePasswordToolStripMenuItem_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles ChangePasswordToolStripMenuItem.Click
PasswordForm.ShowDialog()
End Sub
What I want to do is under certain conditions run the menu item automatically from within the code.

Attached is a sample program which demonstrates the problem I am having.
When the user loads the program they are presented with Form1. If they press Button1 without ticking the checkbox they are presented with Form2 which contains a toolstripmenu.
When they select toolstripmenuitem1 Form3 then appears as a child form of Form2.
The problem comes when they tick the checkbox on Form1. It is meant to load Form2 then automatically select toolstripmenuitem1 to load Form3 but instead it only displays Form3.

I am attempting to complete an assignment for my Intro VB class and it is giving me a good bit of grief.
The assignment calls for at least 8 checkboxes with corresponding labels and one more label displaying the total amount due. I know that I am supposed to declare a form wide variable and then add/subtract from the variable within the even for the checkbox being checked.
I get the appropriate amounts to show in the corresponding labels but they wont add in the total due label.

I'm creating a 2D RPG game, the character moves by pressing the keys A (left) and D (right), this activates a timer that increments the x.position of the character by 1 pixel in case you press D, or decrements if you press A. The movement of the main character is always perfect and smooth and this is how I want to do it, but when I add other character and I animate them using the same method, they dont have a smooth movement, but if I press A or D these characters regain a smooth movement, so, basicly, the second timer (which is always enabled) only increments a value smoothly if the 1st timer (not enabled) is activated.

I want to expand it a little bit and add a second timer that runs parallel to the first timer, but is not affected in any way shape or form by the first timer.
I want the timers to run like this:
Time Timer1 Timer2
0 X X
1 X
2 X
3 X
4 X
5 X X
6 X
7 X
8 X
9 X
10 X X
Ive tried nesting the second loop in the first loop but the second loop takes 3 seconds to complete, so I found that it froze the first loop till the second loop finishes. I was reading about system threading (System.Timers.Timer) and it seems like that is the route I want to go.
I wrote this quick as an example:
This assumes that I added a windows timer control as timer1
vb
Option Strict On
Imports System
Imports System.Timers

In the past few weeks, to speed up our database freshening process, I've created a couple of extra programs, basically copies of the exe file. The program itself, accesses web pages, images etc and uses threads to do so. The second program uses LIMIT 300,100 and the third LIMIT 600,100, to make sure they don't work on the same records.
Before the last few weeks, one occurrence of the program used to run without problem, from the task scheduler all through the day. Only one occurrence of each exe can run at a time.Since theres now three programs running, .net 2.0, on xp, the program often seems to get stuck and never ends. I have to kill it from task manager.
It runs fine in the IDE I just wonder if there would be any benefit from upgrading to vb.net 2010 ?
