View 1 Replies.net - Strong Naming An Assembly Using Command Line Compile
May 18, 2010I am trying to use NAnt in order to compile and sign an assembly using the vbc compiler. I have a project set up and am able to successfully sign the assembly compiling with VS2010. When I try to sign it using the command line I get this error:
vbc : error BC30140: Error creating assembly manifest: Error signing assembly -- The parameter is incorrect.
I even created a trivially simple app (just an assemblyinfo.vb file) that will not compile and sign using vbc.exe What am I doing wrong?
here is my assemblyinfo.vb:
Option Strict Off
Option Explicit On
Imports System
Imports System.Reflection
[Code]....
I have found that MSBuild also does not like having the AssemblyKeyFile attribute as I have defined it in the AssemblyInfo.vb, it gives the same failure message. So the only way I can currently get this to build correctly is to set properties on the project to tell it which key file to use and to sign the assembly.
The reason this appears to work building the project from within VS2010 is that msbuild is passing /keycontainer to vbc.exe on the command line instead of using /keyfile. Still don't know how to use the /keyfile command line parameter.
Command Line Argument: Check If Correct Command Line Or Exit App?
Jun 6, 2012I have beginner skills using VB (am using the Express edition to learn). I would like to know how to set up a conditional statement in a Windows Form (WF) app that would check if a specific command line has been passed by another separate app that launchesthe Windows Form app using command lines, and if not passed, then the Windows Form app would shut down (exit, close).So far, I can use:
For Each s As String In My.Application.CommandLineArgs
If s <> "xyz" Then
Me.Close()

Command Line - How To Get The Size Of A File In .NET
Oct 13, 2011So I'm tasked with writing a command line app that tells you the file size of a given directory. I'm basically going to replicate what the command dir /s <dir> does, but output the result to a text file to make it available for parsing later on.
Using VB.NET, I'm at a place where I need to get the size of a directory, but it seems there's no such ready-made property in the DirectoryInfo class. How do I get the size of a directory?
EDIT: If there's a built-in command or switch that can be typed into command line to automatically output the results of an operation to a .txt file then that would make this infinitely easier.
Send A Command To A Command Line And Then Submit The Command?

Can't Save File Using A Command Line Program Using New Process
Oct 7, 2011I have been trying to fix this and make this work for pretty much three days now. I already solved one problem being, I can't use the shell on one HDD and create another file onto a different drive other then the drive that the directory of the application is running in.
EX:
If I run a program that is on the C: drive and using a working directory that is on the C: drive, I can not create a file onto the F: drive.
I got this problem when I was just using Shell(Environ$("Comspec") & " /c then the command")
So I decided to use Process()
Dim p = New Process()
p.StartInfo.FileName = "F:Visual Basic ProjectsCode TestingCode TestinginDebugToolsMediaInfoMediaInfo.exe"

View 1 RepliesCommand Line Switches - Keeping Command Window Open?
Feb 24, 2010I am using the following code to run defrag and to analyze if the C: drive requires defragmentation:
Dim analyze As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:WindowsSystem32defrag.exe", "C: /a /h /u /v")
This process runs through analyzing, runs it in normal mode & prints the progress to the command window.
My problem is that as soon as the process is complete the command window closes. I need it to stay open so that I can read the results.
Send Command To Command Line From Windows Form Application?
Mar 11, 2010I am trying to send a command to the external command line (cmd.exe) from the Windows form application that I'm writing in VB.NET (using VS2008).
I can only access the external program thru the command line (its not my program) and I must do so from a form app.
I am trying to use the following code. I am able to call a cmd.exe window, but I can't pass the command line my command.

Command Line Program To End Before Moving Onto The Next Command In Loop?
Feb 4, 2011I am using a CheckedListBox that is populated with Filenames (full path, i.e. C:TestTest.jpg)When I have the files that I want in the CheckedListBox I wish to click a Start Button which will process the list one at a time using an exe program that runs on the Command Line. There are arguments that need to pass to the command line as well as the file location in order for the program to process.I currently have it working but the issue is the loop finishes quickly and it is left up to the CMD.exe to finish the process. What I would like is for the LOOP to wait until each file completes processing before passing the command for the next file in the CheckedListBox.There some reasons I wish for it to work this way.
1) I would like to have a button that can Pause/Restart the Loop.
2) I would like to have a button that can Stop the Loop so the whole process can end.
3) I would like to have the Loop remove each file one by one from the CheckedListBox after it has been processed.
4) I would like to display a Message once all the files have been processed.
5) And if it were possible I would like to report the status either by text or a progress bar showing where it is at in the process.
6) And the ability to add some error handling if possible.
Since the Loop finishes so quickly as it just passes the command to the command line using the & as a seperator it is the command line that is handling the rest of the process. Because of this there is not control over it in the GUI.The code I am using allows the Command Line text to display in the Form so it won't open up a seperate window to run CMD.exe. This is the desired affect as I would like everything to appear to run from within the Form itself.

.NET - Pass Command On Command Line?
May 29, 2012I am struggling to pass a parameter to a VB.NET application via a Windows scheduled task. It works perfectly in Visual Studio (passing a command line arguement via project properties).If I am calling a VB6 application, then I will supply the following parameters and it works:
Run: c:progra~1TestTest.exe TestParameter Start In: c:progra~1Test However, if I supply the same parameters in VB.NET, the program throws an exception when it tries to create an instance of a class in the Form.Load: System.NullReferenceException cannot create instance of object.
I have also tried the following:Run: c:program filesTestTest.exe TestParameter Start In: "c:program filesTest" This time the status of the scheduled task changes to "cannot start".What is the correct way to specify command line parameters in a scheduled task for a VB.NET program?UPDATE I found the solution on this web page:[URL}.. I am still confused as to why the program would not create an instance of an object when I used the 8 bit paths (i.e. progra~1)

Run A Command Line EXE From .NET?
Mar 3, 2006I want to run the following command line program from VB.NET: rotor95.exe -d -k "password" -i "C:FileLocation" -o "C:FileLocation" The reason for this is that I don't want my users to have to drop out to a command line prompt in order to run a tiny program for 3 seconds. Typing in a 50 - 75 character file path twice isn't any fun either.
I tried using tooltask as discussed in the MSDN2 help but it appears to work with switches (/d etc.) but not parameters (-k "password"). I couldn't get the thing to work. See the following for the tooltask example:[URL]..light now I'm just using Shell("rotor95.exe -d -k "password" -i "C:FileLocation" -o "C:FileLocation") which works just fine but I'd like to use the .NET 2.0 super-whammy version of handling this problem if there is a better way to do it.
Using FTP Over The Command Line?
Sep 19, 2010how to use basic FTP functions straight from the command line tool. and I started using Visual Studio to create "macros" for the command line tool (i.e. writing down specific functions to perform, write them to a txt file and then run Shell() to execute.)But what I want to know is if I can open a command prompt window and then interact with it. Say for example I'm writing an FTP class/object, I'd want to be able to keep a window up for my program to send commands to (And wishfully read data back from it.)Because it seems to me that whenever I use the Shell() command it just opens a prompt window and then closes it after my line of code has been executed. Is there way to interact with a command line window from Visual Studio? And maybe even scrape data from the terminal like with terminal emulator scripts?

May 3, 2011I have a forms app that contains a few forms. My task is to make it run invisibly when called from the command line with arguments.I have defined a Sub Main in a module and made it the startup item. I have an if/then/else that looks at args.length and if it equals 0 then I load the form and run the app normally. But how do I handle things when args are passed? I still need access to all the functions defined in my main form. Can I load the form invisibly and still "use" it?

Feb 8, 2010When you open up a .txt file, the command line opens up notepad.exe with the argument %1. which opens the text file. i dont know about the function but i understand a little bit about it.
So what i wanted to do was create a .lxproj, and make it open up with my application. i have done this part so far with an installer that creates registry keys. but, what i would like to know is how to open the file. for a test i would like a message box to be displayed if the program is run by clicking the .lxproj. if its opened normally the messagebox doesnt display.

I thought VB would be great for helping people be more familiar with bioinformatics. Unfortunately, I'm brand new to VB and am stuck with my first program.
All I want to do is have a window pop up where the user then selects a file from an OpenFileDialog box, and pass the filename to a bioinformatics program names msconvert.

I'd keep at it, but it's getting really frustrating.
