Asp.net - Architect A .net Web Application To Kick Start Independent Process?
Feb 23, 2011
Can somebody form an idea on how to architect a web application which will kick start an independent process in the server which can perform data uploading function from flat file to Oracle table. This independent process should keep running until it finishes its job regardless of the web application's sign out or timeout issues. The client is a .aspx page which uploads the data file to server and then triggers the independent process in the server.I want to implement this in ASP.NET, VB.NET, VS 2003.
The following is the code that uploades a bytearray into a file DSN on our mainframe. It works very well.What I want to do is upload the jcl which should then start to execute.I used to be able to do it through WININET, but I want to get away from that and use the better FTP commands in vb.net. [code]
I'm using Process.Start to start an external command line application and using the StartInfo.Arguments method to send parameters to the application. I imagine I'll need to use a loop... but I can't figure out exactly how yet.I need to send anywhere from 1 - an infinite number of files names to this application. Each file has to be sent one after the other. So once the first one is done, I need to loop back around and past the second one.I can probably use the Directory.GetFiles method to get all of the files, but I don't know how to assign them.
I'm using Process.Start method to launch another application from my application. Until today, there was no problem. But I have tested my application in a different OS, Windows XP (SP3), and my application didn't work right on that. I'm also using arguments to run that application. I guess for some reason my application couldn't send arguments to other application correctly under Windows XP. Maybe it is related to my code. But you should know, it works great on Windows 7.
I want to add a process to my application, the process should be started to listen some events when the application run. I searched in Internet, and I didn't find answers... Some people said that could use "Application.Run", but I didn't find this function in VB.NET project.
myProcess = Process.Start("something.exe")nd want to start it using button it doen not find the file - i need to execute it from the same folder where application is how can i do that?
I am creating an application for learning purposes. I am using this: process.start("iexplore.exe"); That is working fine. However I would like to be able to tell when the page has been loaded all the way. I would like to know how to tell if the application is done processing or not, that is my main goal. If using the webbrowser control you can use the webbrowser documentcompleted event.
I'm writing an application that runs with the RequiereAdministrator flag enabled, but this application needs to launch some processes with the regular user privileges. Processes are "inheriting" the privileges from its creator, but they should have the regular user permission. I mean, they should revert back to the "asInvoker" flag, without it being overriden by the 'parent' process.
I have a vb.net windows application. I want to convert some part of it to an application that can be run on all mobile platforms like iphone,windows mobile, ipad etc. It should be platform independent
I've commented out various things to limit it to specifically this command (example, I can swap mklink out with notepad and it works fine). The command runs fine from a DOS window, but can't be found when I use it this way. I also tried using the SHELL command just to test and I get the same results. No idea why it can't be found, as like I said it executes from the command prompt just fine.
I have made my application to start automaticly when windows start (registry ../currentversion/run/appname + path). In this mode the application start minimized and an little icon appear in the notification icon area. With this icon you can maximize the app or exit it.If you exit the app and start it again using the Menu (Start/programs etc) than the application start in minimized mode (and in this case I would like to have it in normal mode) because the setting autostart is still true.Is there a way you can detect when the application start when windows startup using the above registry or when people click on an icon in the programs menu (or desktop)?
My app starts an On-Screen Keyboard process like this:
Dim PID as System.Diagnostics.Process : PID = Process.Start("C:WindowsSystem32osk.exe") :
[CODE]...
It seems to work 90% of the time. However, sometimes the PID.Kill() fails because it says the process already exited. At this point the OSK is always still there on screen. Yes, I know my code should be testing to see if the process is still running before trying to kill it, but given that the OSK is still on screen..
I have a program that starts another program after setting the regkeys basically the program continually syncs the calandar of outlook and another application.I set the regkeys than launch the c:sync.exe app. I have tried a simple process.start and launching the process as a thread and they both do the same thing: The other process starts and works as it should but my main program goes "White screen" or "not responding" until the process.start has exited.
I want the process.start to run in the background so if users click in my main app it responds and truly that they can access the context menu of my main app from the taskbar while the process.start is running.
Trying to create a button that when clicked will check to see if a certain process image is running and if that process is running give the process focus. If the process is not running then start the application.
The development machine's and client machine's screen resolution are very likely to vary. I want a code that will RE-SIZE and RE-POSITION each and every control so that no matter what the development machine's resolution is, the application will look exactly the same on the client machine irrespective of its screen resolution.
These two links are as close as I get to the answer, but they are not very clear.
Whats happening is I run the code below and get the following error "The system cannot find the file specified". I've read that with UseShellExecute set to false that you can't use WorkingDirectory.
Dim Password As String = "password" Dim SecureStringPassword As New System.Security.SecureString For Each c As Char In Password
I am attempting to modify the payroll application below using an independent sub procedure rather than a Function procedure I'm not sure why things are not working after I managed to get the thing to work with the Fwt function. It's got to be something minor that I'm overloking. I get the correct amount for "gross pay and "FICA", but get "0.00" for FWT (it should be 35.78) and I get 369.40 for Net pay (should be 333.62)' This is the "CalcFWT Function" version

I wanted to know how can two independent .NET application can exchange data. Something like DDE which was there in older versions.My purpose is to have an upgrade application (which is a seperate .net program) and my main application. Now I wanted to know that when my upgrade app runs it should be able to confirm that my main application is not running. How can I achieve this ? I know thru process name I can find out if my main program is running or not but thats risky if there is another program with the same name.Thus I wanted a way whereby my independant .net program (upgrade app) is able to determine if my another application (main app) is running or not.
I want to add a feature to my trial version of the application. After first activation, I want to make it limited to 90 days. But I am concerned about user's changing the date of system hence deceiving my application. Is there any possibility to make it fool proof in a way that even if user takes the calender back, application expires after 90 days of first activation? First activation date has been saved in the database.
I am writing an application that in the end needs to execute another executable at some point, the problem is that the executable has dependencies in the directory it runs in that are required to operate. When I use the Process.Start to run the executable it errors out because it's looking for the dependencies in my applications directory.
I tried the startInfo.WorkingDirectory option but that didn't seem to do it either (not sure if I did it right) - here is how I used that:
Process.Start("my.exe").StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = "C:Test"For the life of me I cannot find how to set the "Start In" directory. I looked everywhere, so unless it's under a different name, I'm at a loss.
I am trying to create an app that will perform actions on specific times (much like the Windows Task Scheduler). I am currently using Process.Start() to lunch the file (or exe) required by the task. I am initiating a process by calling a file (an .mp3) and the process starts WMP (since it is the default application), so far so good. Now I wan't to kill that process. I know that it is normal behavior for the Process.Start(string, string) to return nothing (null in C#) in this case. So I am asking how can i close WMP when I called it through Process.Start(string, string)??
Is it possible to use system.diagnostics.process.start("Process.exe")But the process would not be seen by the user? For example, I want to play an audio in the background using windows media player, the audio will play but wmp won't be visible. Is it possible?
