View 11 RepliesI have this problem where is wont let me create and files through the command prompt via echo xxx> C:xxx in Visual Basic. If I do it sepoaratly and run the command prompt as admin (This is not using vb at all) then it will work. I have tried putting my vb app to require previlidges at both levels at different times, not at once, and I still got the same thing.So is there a way I can use the comman prompt through vb, but also making the command prompt being an admin without turning off UAC?The code that will not work is this.
Shell(Environ$("Comspec") & " /c """ & WDir & "ToolsMediaInfoMediaInfo.exe"" --output=xml """ & WDir & "ToolsMediaInfoMediaInfo.xml""")
Command prompt's path wasnt default. How can we change that path. In mine it writes "c:usersusername>".

Heres the problem... I can execute any normal dos command automaticly, but once i open the ssh prompt (adb.exe shell), i dont know how to keep putting commands in there...
The commands are stored in strings, and i need to take the commands from the strings, and type them into the command prompt like above.
I'm trying to pass value from form1 to form2, while both form is open.
Using New (Dim frm as new form2) only works when the form2 is not loaded yet. what if both forms already open?
PS: I don't want to use module since there will be a lot variable to pass and i don't want to maintain such large collection of variable in module.
In the Windows Shell, there is a command that looks like this: copy /b fileA.zip + fileB.jpg fileC.jpg..Is there any equivalent function in VB.NET? I already know this works: [code] But I would much rather have a built-in function to work with. Here is what I am trying to do: url...Also, this doesn't just work for pictures. It works for any binary file. Is there any way in VB.NET to tell if a file is binary or text?

I am not a developer but I like tweaking with system, I am recently trying to create an app that can reset admin password, but the problem is that I am not able to run the following command from standard account.
net user user_name * I know it is because of security reason but there must be some way so that software developer can tweak it, can someone guide me..[URl]..
The question is self-explanatory. It would be great if the code was one line long (something to do with "Process.Start("...")"?). I researched the web but only found old examples and such ones that do not work (at least for me). I want to use this in my class library, to run Git commands
View 1 RepliesBefore posting this question I have carried out a few searches on this forum but I am afraid I am struggling because I am very new to Visual Basic and although I do have some programming background, yesterday was day 1 and I took a web tutorial and watched a few video tutorials. (Long way to go!).
OK to the question and I know I should really not ask 2 but It's better to get them both in one post I think.
I want to build a small utility to run a form in full screen to basically hide an old application running in the background.
My old application is a database (Non VB code) which works very well but while it batch exports a lot of data the software displays some pretty ugly windows, I want to call my VB utility from a command prompt with 1 or more switches to display some meaningful text about where it is in the routine.
I also want to be able to send a switch at the end to close it completly.
Q1 - What is the best way to manage command prompt switches ?
Q2 - How do I make it close itself ?

View 5 RepliesI am looking for an easy way to have a command prompt like interface for my form. The idea is to make it an interactive text interface. Here is an example of what it might look like > Hi Hello! > How are you? I am fine! >_So it's very much like a chat. BTW, I am not referring to what the example is, just the concept of a command prompt, that I can create a scrollback buffer for. Very much like a MSDOS prompt.

I would like to capture the command prompt text and place it into a textbox.

I wanted to make a vb.net version of this trick used to hide files in pictures: [URL]
In my mind I have to use an open file dialog box to do this.
I would like to create an interface for the command prompt so users here do not have to type in everything. I would probably use a FileOpen dialog to pass paths, etcfor me would be a link to (or small sample code), that does something like register a .dll.
..open the command prompt in the background and register a .dll using the following: "regsvr32 C:WINDOWSsystem32UTA_CTL.dll".

View 6 RepliesI have made an application that requires executing an external command prompt application, and I need to be able to read the result from its completion of each file it processes.
The external application works by specifying an input directory, it then scans for a series of compatible files and then converts them all one by one in a single command. I need to be able to read each line it writes and provide the appropriate feedback in my application. It would be nice if i could hide the window it creates too. Code I have tried working from:
Code:
Private Sub btnRead_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnRead.Click
