Check 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.
Is there any mechanism/way through which I can come to know programmatically whether application is running locally or remotely?

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 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 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]
Im working on a small virus removal application, and i have a piece of code to check if a process is running,although, it doesn't seem to work.The code is as follows:
ListView2.Items.Add(TimeOfDay + " - Starting Process Scanner") Dim Vir As Process() = Process.GetProcesses Dim a As Integer For a = 0 To Vir.Length - 1 Debug.WriteLine(Vir(a).ProcessName)
I am creating a program that will check if a program is running, by checking its window title (NOT THE FILENAME, ITS WINDOW TITLE) and seeing if it is currently running. So far I was only able to check if the program was running by its filename
I'm making a program in VB to check if a certain program is running, and if not, to start it up, because I'm hardly ever at my computer and sometimes the program that is being checked for existence tends to close down often, so I need something that will check for the existence of the program in question, and start it if it's not running
I have a program that 10-20 people use throughout the day. Because things are rapidly fluctuating I occasionally have to take the database offline, or restart the server for other reasons. I'd like to have a better way to make sure no one is currently in the program than walking to each person and asking them.
I don't want to re-invent the wheel if something like this already exists.
The thoughts I had were:
Create a database "history" entry each time users open or close the program to see who is currently using the system. Use WCF to have the clients "tell" the server that they are connected every X seconds.
I'm running into an issue with my application. If the laptop is just turned on and a user opens the application, the application attempts to hit a SQL server to do some work. The issue is that sometimes the SQL Server process hasn't started yet (slow laptop).
What is the preferred method for checking if this is running.
Do I check for it like a normal process?
Do I attempt to make a connection via ADO.NET and catch the error?
I have multiple textboxes that are saved using my settings and buttons to add them to the clipboard.
The problem is when the textbox is blank and I click on the copy button.
The saving to my.settings happens on close so when someone enters text that they plan on saving later and then clicks the copy button, whammo it crashes.
Here is the code that is failing and I need to check to make sure that there is a value before setting the text on the windows clipboard.[code]...
I need to check on several services to see if they're running on several servers. I would like the program to tell me if a specific service is or is not running and if it is to reply with a msg stating which service is running, same if it is not running.
this is what i have so far:
Private Sub CheckServiceButton_Click_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CheckServiceButton.Click ' This will check if the service is running '
I'm not sure how I would use Process.GetProcessesByName()to check if a process is running, and if it isn't start it, using VB.NET?I know how to start a process using Process.Start().
I am developing an application whereyby I want to run a check at 5pm each day. It will check if the next day is the due start of a project and if so send a notification email to the assigned developer, does anyone know the easiest way of doing this.
How can I check if user running my application is running Vista or XP?I need to make it If XP then msgbox "XP" else if Vista then msgbox "Vista" endif.
I need to check if a certain process is NOT running. So until now i've been using a loop and if it doesn't find the process then it alerts me (with MsgBox) however now i realized that the for each loops looks on each process and if that process isn't the one im looking for its gonna give me an alert, that it was not running even when the next process could be the one i need to know about.
