Detect If A Computer Is Running App And If So, Get The Varialbe?
Oct 15, 2010
I have created an app that will run on many computers, each will connect to one database on the network. When ever an app is running on the local machine, it has a Public Variable called MyUserName, which has the name of the user currently running the app.Is there a way to have an app running on the server side that could reach out to all the currently connected computers and 1: see if the app is running and 2: if it is running, retrieve that Public Variable, MyUserName? if this cant be done in this manner, is there some other way i can detect if a computer is running my app and if so, get the varialbe?
Is it possible to reload a form of the running application from one computer when I executed a function from my other computer with the same application? co'z I want to see the changes of data on my datagrid view?
I'm trying to develop a windows application where i can get connected to remote server and look for process state going in remote server.We have many remote servers where automatic installation of software going on. We have an xml file(installstatus.xml) where it tells us at what stage the installation is (Example : Inprogress , Completed, Failed.)
So our aim is to develop a windows application where i can get connected to that servers and look for their installation status(may be we can use installstatus.xml to look for installation status). Every time i connect to a server, the server information should get stored in XML file(i want to create a xml file where all the servers list i connect to should get stored)
The UI at left side should will have list of servers i can connect to. When i get connected to server, at right side of UI, i want to display the status of installation (In progress, failed , completed).
can anybody teach me how to do that(I'm newbie in network programming), to detect all the computer name's list in the network(LAN with(out) domain) and also the IP's list of the computers.
I want to create a windows app which can display a message box whenever i open or close the internet explorer window. As the internet explorer window is opened a messagebox showing that "internet window is now opened" and when it is closed a msgbox showing "ie window is closed".
Kindly help this newbie in writing the code for the same that how can my app made in vb.net detects that ie is opened.
I have a problem when trying to detect the computers network connection status.
Here is the code I have used: Dim IsAvalible As String = My.Computer.Network.IsAvailable If IsAvalible = True Then Label1.Text = "Connected" Else <code> <code>If IsAvalible = False Then</code> I <code> Label1.Text = "Disconnected"</code></code> End If [/ICODE] End If[/ICODE]
But for some even when the network is disconnected or the computers wifi is turned on I still get the result of "Connected". I think there something wrong with the code.
Is there a simple way to have a code library automatically detect if it's being called from a console application or a windows application? I'd like my library not to report to the Windows Event log if it's being called from a console window, but instead report to the console window. If however, it's not being run from within a console window, it should report to the Windows Event Log.
I thought about requiring my the logging component to be passed the log target, but it would be neat if it could just automatically handle these two targets natively. I don't yet require something as extensive as log4net, indeed, if it becomes necessary to provide support to log to a database/file and other as yet unknown logging targets, then I may recommend such a solution. For now though, just having my component auto-detect the environment and log to the console or the event log according to the environment would be plenty.
I can get the local computer name on a RDC session using Environment.GetEnvironmentvariable("ClientName") if the application is 32 bit and Server is 32 Bit or when app is 64 bit and server is 64 bit
How can I get the local computer name from a 32 bit application when the server is 64 bit
Environment.getEnvironmentvariable("ClientName") returns an empty string
trying to detect the process, if it is not running, then only run the process, but it still runs the process eventhough the process is still running :(
For Each Proc As Process In Process.GetProcesses() Dim strProc As String = Proc.ProcessName & ".exe" If Not strProc = "MemberSyncFBtoSQL.exe" Then
I have a WinForm program developed in VB.Net with Visual Studio 2005. The program needs Microsoft Office Runtime installed atleast on the computer to allow the application to run without any errors.
Is their a way to check the computer to see if the minimum of the Runtime or Microsoft Office is installed on the computer? If either isn't I would like to display a message to the user on the startup of the application that states to atleast go to Microsot's site (I have full link to Runtime Download) and download the runtime for free.
Or is their a way to include the runtime as a component with my install for the application so if it isn't installed on the computer already it will install when the application is installed?
I have developed a Component and I want it to be able to detect when it's running in the IDE.
Or, let me rephrase that - I want my component to be able to detect when its parent form is running in the IDE.
I can use .DesignMode and a few other methods to detect when my component is running in the IDE (For example when my component is placed on a form etc)
But when the parent form is executed from within the IDE then .DesignMode returns false.
Is it possible for a component to detect if its parent (the form) was started via an IDE/Designer ? or via the command line/start menu or what ?
My single-instance application has code to auto-start from the command line and open a requesting file with the appropriate extension when it's double-clicked or 'run' - this works fine. Once it's up and running however, what is the recognised way to detect a command line request to open another similar file so I can offer an option box to stay with the existing file or close it and swap to the new one? Can I do this within the main app, or do I need some sort of 'background listening' app to detect this and act accordingly?
I need code to fit for an 'if then' statement based on an operating system. So let's say I am running windows XP, the program detects it, and with a simple if then' statement it opens form2, if i was running vista, it would open form1. So basically i need something like: If (WindowXP current OS) then form2.open, If (windowsvista currrent OS) then form1.openOf course, the above statement won't work because I need code to support the detection of the O.S.Note: I just need code for just these two O.S'es, also I don't care if its Windows XP SP1 2, or 3, just as long as it's an XP.
I have this code which gives me all of the information I need regarding tasks, information etc. I have it all shelled into a VB program and I want to be able to run this from one computer and have it return the data from all computers on the domain.[code]I have script that will list all users on the domain, can I implement that or is there an easier way? If I could search the entire domain for a specific file that would work too.At the moment I just need all the data returned to a text file, I am not worried about it being sorted, or how long a process like this would take.

Ok I have a question about connection string in vb.net. Im using the string [Code] but here I am specifying the serverName by its name, now if I deploy my application and send it to another person to use it I see that server name is changing according to the name of the computer. Is there any way where by I can make my application to detect itself the Name of the server present in that computer and use it in connection string?

I need to check if the explorer.exe process is running on a remote computer to verify that there is a user logged on the computer. I Also want to get the Process Owner of the explorer.exe process to check which user is logged on. I have found some VBscript examples online, but i can't seem to get them to work. If anyone knows of a better way of checking if and what user is logged on to a computer, please give me a reply also. I have tried System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses, but i can't seem to get the owner of the process, maybe WMI will do the trick ?
