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?
View 3 RepliesI 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.

Imports System.IO
Module awcWatcher
Sub Main()
Dim fsw As New FileSystemWatcher("D:ACS DesktopAWCeportingstaging")
fsw.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.FileName Or NotifyFilters.LastWrite

How would I go about making this wait and then wait again and again and again?
I submitted the same question a few minutes ago, but so far that hasn't appeared in the thread - I wonder why/ - I used the HTML to rite the code I used. When I Click the F5 / Strat Debug on menu the DOS-Based form appears and disappears immediately. I am able to run a DOS-Based program in the computer, I checked this after the Sample Console Application failed to run. The Code I used is given within the Brackets(System.Console.WriteLine("Hello World")).

View 3 RepliesSo i have made this program which im done with. All code has been written and it is working as it should. I do however have one bug that is pretty wierd.
Sometimes the main window just dissapears ! And i cant get it to show it self again.. Rebooting my computer does not help.. And then sometimes it just randomly shows it self again, but only between runs.
The only thing that i can come up with that could cause this, is the part of code i have that saves the position of the window to application settings and reloads them upon run. So that you can move the window around your screen (in this case dual monitors) and then close it, and the next time you start the application it shows where you closed it the last time. This must screw up somehow.
How can I continue processing in a vb.net console application until I press a key? I basically want to loop playing a beep every half second until the user presses any key. I have the loop and beeping down:
Do Until <key is pressed>
Console.Beep()
Sleep(500)
Loop
The question is, how do I implement the "<key is pressed>" condition?
I have a VB application and I want to allow the user to choose an option between "OK" and "Cancel" buttons when he want to exit the VB application. So far, I cannot figure how to allow the user to click "Cancel" to allow the VB application to continue running. [code] So how do I allow user to click "cancel" button to prevent from exiting?

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?
View 6 RepliesI 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".
Is there a code or command that i put in my code for the press any key to continue command to activate in my console application. I already know about press Ctrl F5 i want to if there is any code that I could implement at the end of my program that would do the same as pressing Ctrl F5 if the ran the program by press the play button.

View 8 RepliesI need to run an external JAR file (which is minecraft) within the window (form) of a VB.NET application, so like having the program in the center and additional text I like around it.
Is this possible, and if so, how?
I have an application (written in VB.net 2008) which reads a text file. Parses the record and uses the second field (a UK postcode) to match an Access database (SQL - Select * from Table1 ......), then writes a text file back out with the original input postcode plus several fields taken from the access database.
I have 3 counts happening during the process, records read, postcodes matched and postcodes not matched. I move these values to labels on the form, then every 50 records read, I refresh the form (me.refresh) to update the labels (showing the end user where the process is upto).When running, if I drag the window around the screen, or minimize then maximize, or click off the window to another window, the application seems to freeze and the counter labels do not refresh.
For a while i have been playing a guessing game with this line of code.
If Sdown = True And Shooter.Top >= Me.ClientRectangle.Height Then
Shooter.top += Shooterspeed
End If
Basically i have a shooter on the form and whenever i press the down key the shooter moves down the form and disappears off of the bottom of the form. I have been trying to get this to stop for some while.
I have a spellcheck program for an external application. My vb.net app calls a .vbs file to invoke the word spellcheck engine, runs the spellcheck, copies to MS clipboard and then I want it to automatically paste back into the active window. What my issue is, is that I need a delay or check of some sort in the code so that I can know when the vbscript has been completed before pasting text to to the window. I've tried the following but the app invokes the script then immediately checks to see if the script is running (which of course it is) so it's useless... Or is this something I should change/handle in the vbs file? I'm not very good with vbscript however.

I am trying to figure out how to code a function which will pause the system until the user presses the key. I did some googling and I was able to find this function called getch() for c++ but no luck for vb.net. Is there a such as function as getch() for vb.net?

View 5 RepliesIs 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?
View 2 RepliesI am currently working on an application, where I am using a console application, that will set up the application prior to the main form is run. This is no problem I've got that all working perfectly, the only problem I have is that the console is showing while the application is running, I was wondering whether anyone knows any way in which I would be able to hide the console before it gets shown to the user.
