I want to call vb6 exe file on vb.net application that I am currently working on. The VB6 Application has the login screen and I don't want it to be displayed as the start-up screen. As soon as I call the VB6 appl the program must activate the enter key, so that I cannot put the login credentials manually.
So How do I make my program press the ENTER key?
This is my code for calling the vb6 application </Process.Start("C:\Importing.exe")>
I have a self-hosted WCF service (VB) residing on a server. This service has a method, which I call from another application, that is supposed to kick off a .cmd file which calls a 3rd party program.
My WCF has used both the old Shell() command and the Process() object. Both can call the .cmd file (located on the server's local drive). The .cmd file looks like this:
CODE:
Now I know the .cmd file (saved as Letter.cmd) is firing because when I check the txt file after testing my app, the before/after statements have been written. However, the 3rd party application does not start.
Now the weird part -- if I double click the cmd file from explorer, the test statements are written to the text file AND the 3rd party application kicks off. Runs great.
I've double-checked the application and corresponding files to make sure NETWORK_SERVICE has permissions and my service is running under that account.
I have a windows forms application written in VB.NET which scrapes information from serveral web pages (who doesn't right)? Anyway, I am having problem with one particular site where partway through the page navigation my application hangs. When I press pause (or break) in the debugger, it stops on a call to System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents.
Resuming execution shows that it really is stuck on this line (it does not reach the next line of code). It also hangs about the same point each time I run it (at least its consistent). Since System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents yields to other threads on the same processor and then resumes execution of the current thread, I think the problem is that some other thread is not behaving well (not returning from some event handling code). I thought Windows 7 was pre-emptive, which makes me
doubt that theory but I really don't know.
[Code]...
The program scrapes somewhere between 12 and 14 pages before it gets stuck on the call to DoEvents. Does anyone have a clue why this would happen? Why would any call to DoEvents hang?

View 2 RepliesWhen I call a different sub from the main sub in my console application, I have to type in the word twice for it to go to the sub. But I have noticed that it only does that when I have it to be recognized at the second instance (I think I used that right). What I mean by that is this.
Sub Main()
if console.readline = "Test1"
call _Exit_()
[Code].....
If I type Test1, it will call the _Exit_ no problem. But if I call _New_, I have to type it in twice.
I also tried putting them both into if statements instead of elseif.
I have also change the order of the calls, this is where it get interesting to me. If I were to change the call from "Test1" to _New_ ()(So, instead of calling _Exit_(), it will call _New_()) If I do this, then the _New_() will work no problem
and I don't have to type it in twice, but I do for the _Exit_() now.

View 2 RepliesI am looking to make a database call based on user input. The line I am using is:general_read.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM general WHERE Business_Name = '" & business_name & "';"
business_name is dynamically loaded from:Protected Sub btnLoad_Click(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnLoad.Click business_name = txtName.Text

The error that is being shown is: Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.I'm assuming it has something to do with the variable not being set before the database call is made, but I'm not entirely sure.

View 1 RepliesI have an application written in .NET 4.0 that i compile into a DLL file. I want to be able to use this DLL file in a Windows Forms .NET 2.0 application. I don't need the application to really interact much, except just passing a couple string values to the 4.0 DLL. The DLL is pretty much a bunch of Windows which i converted to UserControls and i just need to be able to reference them to display the UserControls from the 2.0 application without having to use a different exe and having to package them separately.
What is the best way to do this? Because when i try to add the reference to the DLL to the 2.0 application, it gives me and error saying the DLL is built in a newer version of .NET so i can't do it that way. Is this where a COM object would come in?

Background: Our app is primarily a desktop app that makes many calls to a web service. We control everything but changes to the overall system design are not going to be seriously considered. One of those calls, Calculate, is used very often, and occasionally can take a few minutes to process all the data to return valid results.

I am using Compact Framework 3.5 on a Symbol MC50.In my Sub Main it first checks to see if a database exists. If it does, it shows a login screen using the following code:
Dim login As frmLogin = New frmLogin()
If login.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
Application.Run(New frmMain())
End If
This all works correctly and, when I close frmMain, it exits the application as expected.However, if the database check in Sub Main fails, I call the ShowDialog() method of another form that is used to create and fill the database from a live server. Here is the code for calling this form:
If Not File.Exists(SETTINGS_LOCALDB) Then
databaseExists = False
MessageBox.Show("Local DB does not exist. The database must be created before using the application.")[code].....
All of this code is being hit and frmMain does indeed load. However, when I click the close button in the top right nothing happens, no event occurs. Its as though the Windows events are not occurring.
