Call An App From Its Location But Launches Where Vb App Lives?
May 22, 2011
ok so heres the scenario. Ive made an app in visual basic 2010 that calls another application in c:pinger 2.0. In the directory pinger 2.0 are many sub folders from 15-500 named 15-500. I have a button that does this:Shell("c:pinger 2.0" & TextBox1.Text & "pinger.exe")
so basically if i type 15 it launches c:pinger 2.015pinger.exe which works flawlessly however this pinger.exe requires a host file thats .txt based. My problem is when it launches pinger form subfolder 15 it cant locate the hosts.txt. To do a little troubleshooting i loaded the hosts.txt file in the same directory as my VB app and then it worked just fine but this is no good.the whole point of having different subfolders is because each sub has a different hosts.txt file.So what im experiencing is when i call pinger.exe its looking for the hosts.txt file in the root of the VB application and not the subfolder 15-500 is there a way to call a program and let it run from its original location so it will find the hosts.txt file in the correct subfolder?
i can upload my project if this mumbo jumbo has confused you, perhaps theres some ,vb"switch" i can run? like:Shell("c:pinger 2.0" & TextBox1.Text & "pinger.exe",vbrunwhereyoursupposedtoplease)

I have a form which has a button and a toolbar.
The button has code which works and deletes a record in a database:
=======================================
Private Sub Button5_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button5.Click
[code]....
I can put similar code into the toolbar button just changing the Button5_Click to the name of the toolbar button but I thought it would be better if I 'called' the already written code.
I changed the Private Sub Button5_Click etc. to Public Sub Button5_Click then in the Toolbar button click event I put 'call Sub Button5_Click()'
I get errors stating that ' argument not specified for parameter 'e' ' and can't progress.
I will be using this code in a few other forms so would like to 'call' possible.

How can I raise an event from another class which implements an interface that contains an event?
Public Interface IMyEvent
Event MyEvent()
End Interface
[Code].....
Note the comment - that code doesn't work. How can I raise an event like this, if it's contained within another class through an interface?

my form displays locations and owners for a same product, the forms have a data grid view that actually takes in the details of the location and owner of that particular product. a product can have multiple owners and locations once its manufactured over time, the forms actually display this all i need is some kind of business logic that can actually manage the historical events of the location and the owner that when a user actually goes in and adds a new entry, the end date of the previous owner gets reduced to one less than the start date of the new owner. this in formation is stored in business layers called the owner collection and the location collection, i am not able to actually inherit or call the location or the owner collection class in the classes.

Currently, when I double click on my current list, even if there isnt an item at the current mouses location, it calls the event and uses the last highlighted item. I know it is possible to fix this by using a selected index change event, but I require the list items to be double clicked

I have a VS 2008 Solution in VB.Net that has 2 projects - a Launcher and the App. The Launcher is what runs first, checks to make sure the App has all the latest files from the network, etc. and then launches the App. The Launcher allows the user to select their environment (Test, Production) then passes those values into the App.exe as command line arguments.
This works fine when running normally, but when trying to debug this, I'm trying to figure out how to start Debugging from the Launcher, then pass the selected Environment into the other project so it can read them as command line arguments.

I've written a very simple form application that launches a bunch of shortcuts. There's one particular one I want to launch, but it's got a lot of switches with special characters. I can't figure out how to make the switches/arguments into a string so that VB2010 will pass it to the executible cleanly.. Here's what I did, I'm sure it's laughable, but I guess everyone starts somewhere:
Private Sub Button11_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button11.Click
Dim MyString As String = ","/CitrixShortcut: (1) /QLaunch "CHCFarm:Citrix Console""
Process.Start("C:Program FilesCitrixICA Clientpnagent.exe",MyString)
End Sub

I have a legacy vb6 application that uses a shell command to launch a newer .net application. It's a very simple command, just launches an app. Here's the problem. When I run the .net app through the shell command, it tries to connect to a database that is not referenced in it. If I double-click the .net executable, it runs just fine and connects the way it is supposed to. Normal, no problems. Only when I run it from the shell command do I have problems. I have checked everything I can think of and simply can not come up with a reason why the app would behave differently when launched from a shell command.

I have been trying to figure out how an application like GameSpy or GameRanger launches applications and is able to sync with other users(all joining together). I have been under the assumption that it was just simple command line switches being used. The more I look into it the more I don't think that is the case. I believe they are hooking into a game's API to do so. My question would be, using OllyDbg I was able to get the memory address of a Text display in the game(The game you are about to create's name).The default is "TEST SESH", and if you highlight the field and hit enter you can edit it. I was wondering if anyone could give me incite on how I could set this text through a DLL injection?

What I would like to do is create a command button that launches an email from outlook attaching the current word document to a set email address. I'm not fussed if the word document is saved or not as it is only the email receipent that needs it, likewise I don't mind if the code instructs the email to send of just opens it ready to be sent.I have read through loads of forums and tried loads of codes but cannot get any to work.

I have 2 group box components and both are same size,font,location and visible is false. When i click button2, the groupbox1 won't appear(the group box2 is on bottom n group box1 is on top).
Example:
button1
groupbox1.visible=false
groupbox2.visible=true
button2
groupbox1.visible=true
groupbox2.visible=false
Because i want to show the different,so the location have a little different(actually both are same location). I think my code is no problem. The problem i guess is both component cannot locate at same location?

we have a user that my program works fine for.. and another that it just crashes for.. they get this error
"You cannot start application <App_Name> from this location because it is already installed from a different location."
then they run it up again and it comes up.. and then just closes..in reading some stuff online it says its a framework 2.0 sp 1 issue ?these pc's have 3.5, but my program uses all 2.0 stuff..so is this a 2.0 sp level issue ? or should I make my programs start to use framework 3.0 instead ?

I was using this old method of creating a bunch of rectangles when I need to get the location of a certain point within a grid so I could draw images on the grid. The thing is, I don't want to use rectangles, I want to be able to just round the location as if I were using rectangles. I need it to be able to round the point (66,70) to (50,50) so if you can imagine a grid and the mouse position being within that square in the grid, I need to get the location of the upper left corner of that square.

I have encounterd a problem when trying to re-enstall a program i have writen in vb 2008.I get the following message:"You cannot start application Shell from this location because it is already installed from a different location."This program is to be used on many workstation computers and i need to be able to update any changes by just reinstalling the program, no uninstalling needed first. If the program was installed from a cd first and needs to be updated from a flash disk this error will be a problem, if the update is from a cd as well then there is no problem.Is there a way to change the installation package to ignore where the program installs from and just update itself?

I want to create an ExpressionTree where a Func(of Vector, Vector, Vector, Vector, Double, Double, Vektor) should be called. So I use
Expression.Call(Forces(0).Function.Method, {Vec1, Vec2, Vec3, Vec4, Double1, Double2})(Vec1-4, Double1-2 are declared as ParameterExpression and Forces(0).Function as Func(of Vector, Vector, Vector, Vector, Double, Double, Vector). But I get an AgrumentException, because Forces(0).Function.Method has seven Arguments. (System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Closure as seventh argument at Index 0).
