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 am using VB .Net 2.0. I know I can detect the OS using
System.Environment.OSVersion
Can anyone tell me if there's a list somewhere where I can find what that generates for different OS versions.
Specifically I am trying to detect if a user is running Windows 7 64-bit.
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 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 raise a flag as such:

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?
View 3 RepliesI 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.
View 4 RepliesI just want to write code inside my assembly to detect whether it is running on a "desktop machine", or inside the context of an ASP.NET application. This is crucial guys, (licensing purposes), and I don't want to get fired because I did a mistake.So, please, be direct and if you please give me some code snippet.
EDIT v 2.0: What about using in the assembly:
[assembly: "AspNetHostingPermission (SecurityAction.RequestRefuge, Unrestricted=true)]"
to prevent the execution on the web?

I am in process to develop an application for Windows Mobile 6.5 using Visual Basic 2005 and .NET Compact Framework. My problem is that I want to know if an instance of my application is already running and, in that case, I want to jump directly to that instance, without starting another one. I tried several solutions found on the internet but I think there are solution for desktop applications not for mobile applications because I have a lot of errors.

But when same code i tried to run on Vista it gives the error. Error is as follows

View 1 RepliesI am trying to write a Windows Script that will allow me to monitor the following: That 2 x seperate but specific processes within Component Services "Running Processes" list are currently running and have not reset within the past hour. If I already know the PID, then I can retrieve the CreationDate (I assume which I can use to check for restarts? or is this the actual process creation/installation date) for each specific process, however if a restart occurs the PID will change and my script needs to know what the new PID is without me telling it!

View 4 RepliesHow can I detect when the WMP has reached the end of the current song? I'm making a media player, and have my songs in a list box. Here is my code for playing a song.
CurrentSong = SongPaths.SelectedItem
WMP.URL = CurrentSong
Label2.Text = "Now Playing: " & Songs.SelectedItem
Songs and SongPaths are both listboxes (SongPaths is hidden) As you might have guess, Songs has the song names in it, and SongPaths has their directory path, the two listboxes are in-sync (Choosing "SongA" in Songs, will select the directory of it in SongPaths)What I need to do, is detect when a song is over, so I can call this code:
i = i + 1
Songs.SelectedIndex = i
'Will select the corresponding item in SongPaths as well.
