Check Programmatically Whether Application Is Running Locally Or Remotely?
Apr 21, 2010
My desktop application is developed in VB.Net and can be run through two types of users, one who install it on their local machine and execute locally.
Second type of users will run the application remotely from the server.i.e. Application will install on the server and user will execute that application from client side. Server can be a Citrix Meta Frame or any server accessed through Remote Desktop Connection.
I want to maintain single exe for both types of users.
Question:
Is there any mechanism/way through which I can come to know programmatically whether application is running locally or remotely?

Usually, when I reset the IIS of a remote server, I have to use "Remote Desktop Connection", log in, and go to DOS , and type "iisreset". Now I'm wondering is it possible to do the exact same thing without using "Remote Desktop Connection" application? Could this be done programmitically and remotely (because the program will not be running on the actual server)? Of course, I'll be providing the username and password within the program.
I have an application that provides core services for a series of other applications.When another of these applications is started, I want to check that the service application is running and if not shutdown.What is the best method to check for the existence of the other app? I'm thinking that I should be using a global mutex in the services app and checking for it's existence in the other apps. Is this the correct way to proceed?
I want to be able to test if an Excel application is already running on the computer. If it is, I want to use it to create and save a new file. Excel will remain open.If no Excel application is running, I will open Excel, create and save a new file, and then close Excel.
How can I check if an application is running, and then kill it?I REALLY need it urgently because some random antivirus program attacked me, and it doesn't let me do ANYTHING! So I am planning to put the program on startup and kill it when it starts running.
I have created a control and have some code in constructor. This code should only run when application is running, but it also runs when i load form. Can I have some check if application is running or not?Faisal Saleem (Software Engineer)
How to check if my application is already running? So I can prevent it from starting twice.For example:My application is already running, the user is trying to run it again, a MsgBox shows and says that this application is already running.
I made a simple "restarter" app... However, I need to close multiple instances of an application. For example, if I have three windows of paint, or three windows of Word open, how do I check if it is still open before I open a new instance?
I am writing a program for a class and it needs to read/write to an Access 2007 database. Right now I am referring to it's absolute path when I use it in connection strings, something like:
Dim conn As New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:UsersMeDocumentsVisual StudioProjectsProject1Database.accdb")
This is going to be a problem when I turn it in obviously, because the professor isn't going to have the same path. So I want to somehow include it into my project and then refer to it with a relative path or something so that it will work on his machine. When I imported it through the Data Sources it had an option at the end to copy the database into the project which I agreed to. It put the Database where all of the source files are on my computer, so I tried using Application.StartupPath(
I'm designing dekstop application with client server architecture with vb.net with mysql database. My question is how do i remotely kill/close my other application? for example two user are logged to the system, user a want to kick the user b out of the system. Kick/close the GUI and the app not just the connection.
I'm running a VB.NET application 24 hours a day on a dedicated machine. I'd like to be able to receive status updates and also control/debug the application remotely (i.e. from another computer via the internet).It would be an advantage if the communication was lightweight (in terms of bytes sent and received) so I can control the thing without needing a fast internet connection. Also, I'm running the application from within the IDE at the moment because there are some unhandled exceptions and it's easier to debug this way. It would be nice if I didn't have to compile it and catch all the errors.What is the easiest way to set something like this up, and what do I need to be aware of in terms of security?
Update:To clarify what input I need to give the application - in theory, none. If all went to plan I'd just set the application off and reading some sort of log would be fine. The problem is that it is unstable (mainly because it calls a web service which is very unstable and returns all sorts of weird things) and therefore seems to need constant input on my part.
It was my thinking that the only way I could do this sort of debugging remotely is by catching every error I could, reading the log, and somehow instructing the application to behave properly in future.
Is it possible to use microsoft access database for Windows mobile application and save this mdb file locally in the pocket pc?because im trying to make an application to connect to mdb database but this imports seems to be not working.
I am trying to create a small application that will tell me if a website is up and running. This application will monitor if the site goes down. The problem is that there are several websites sharing the same IP address, and I cannot use ping to monitor it for the same reason. I do not know what type of code can I use to query the availability of the website. I read about webRequest and webResponse but I do not know how to get the response information that will tell me if the site is up or down. The code should be able to tell if a site like "mundo.reporters.com is accessible. That is the only thing.information to point to a potential solution will be more than welcomed.
The server is hosting 8 websites that share the same ip address, and I need to constantly monitor if they are functional.

This is my first post on this forum, so please excuse me if I'm posting wrong. Anyway, I've been having an issue that I've never seen before and is driving me nut, I have a windows form on which I have placed many textboxes that display information from a MS SQL database. The user can then change these values and hit a "save" button which writes the changes to the database. I also have certain textboxes that with the "on leave" event (after a user enters a possible new value) trigger a method that recalculates some of the other fields based on the new information. Hopefully that all makes sense.
So the problem is, when I run through this "recalc" method the first time around, it doesn't update those textboxes that it's supposed to. However, when I put a breakpoint in and debug through it, the debugger shows it putting in the correct values into the textboxes. It's just as soon as the method is done, it puts them back to blank, or whatever they were before

I want to write a utility to register and unregister dll's. So far I have not been successful in checking if a DLL is registered. Can anyone give me any pointers or sample code in vb or c#?
I had done one application using api which send the message to given number. The working of software is very fine without any error working on windows XP SP2. I heard that vista already contain the .net frame work so didnt installed .net frame work in machine. I checked in vista it shows .net frame work is in machine. But when same code i tried to run on Vista it gives the error. Error is as follows

I was thinking of checking the registry keys that a web browsers makes, and hopefully seeing if I could get accurate answer. Yet I only discovered that most of them do not remove registry values after a uninstall, nor do they make any indication that the program was removed from the system.
I'm attempting to write an app that watching for process spikes. IE: Watch every active process and log the difference between initial and max values of cpu percentage (or load) of each process. The problem is that, as far as I can tell from the MSDN, the Process class doesn't contain any property that is even remotely equal to the true load of the process. For the time being I've written the code to watch the PagedMemorySize64 property, but the values that are being spit out appear to have no relevance to load.
To be clear, I don't need the actual load percentage (though it would be handy), all I need is a property that is directly related to load to show what processes 'spike' during the execution of my program.
My code as it stands (initialProcessCheck runs first, then processCheck runs every 1.5 seconds or so until other threads doing irrelavent tasks are finished, then computeDeltas is run):
Private Sub initialProcessCheck() 'Checks the current load on all active processes and stores as initial values For Each intPID As Integer In ActiveProcessIDs Dim CheckProcess As Process = Process.GetProcessById(intPID)
I was wondering if there is a way to programatically check and see if a sheet exsists in an excel workbook?
Basically what I am doing is checking if an excel document exists, opening it up and checking if the specified sheet exists. I am currently unaware as to how to check and see if the sheet exists.
UPDATE
I have been given some good code to make this work. All i am missing now is the correct imports.
I have searched and found this import :
Imports Tools = Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel
But for some reason that is not recognized. Do I have to configure VS somehow to make it work? Or am I just using the wrong import?
I want to create a grid of checkboxes dynamically on my form for example the user may key in 16 which is a 4x4 grid of checkboxes or 81 which is a 9x9 grid.my code seems to be generating the correct values but the checkboxes dont go to the correct location on the form
Public Class Form1 Public NumberOfInputs As Integer = 81 Public CheckBoxArray() As Control
I am working on a tool that will better manage the server applications I run on my server. I have a working version of what I need written in VB6, I've tried converting the code from vb6 to .net with no luck. Basically I have a few server applications I would like to display the status of, if they're running or not. Then with a few buttons to start/stop the application accordingly. I've found a few different code snippets across the web which I've tried to implement in to my project with no luck.
I am trying to check for certain processes that is running and then inform the user of those processes via textbox like "The programs; -name of the processes running goes here- are running". [code]
