View 4 Repliescatch statements - it works well just checking my disk drive for a file, if an error is thrown then I open the disk tray and ask them to put the disk in, click OK on the message box and it performs another check for the file, if this fails the button that starts all this is disabled on my main form (the code is shown below).
Okay, so my problem is I'd like to have the message box pop up and the have the drive open up (using an API which I have) either at the same time or in the order of: message box then drive open. I can see two ways to do this: Have the commands happen at the same time (Can you even do this?) OR Have the message box appear and then open the disk drive (but how I could achieve this I don't know as the message box waits for the user to click OK... I originally though of starting a timer just before and getting it to open the disk drive tray in the tick event,
Code:
Public Class Form1

View 12 RepliesI'm evaluating the best approach to implement the following periodic task:
Get some users from SQL Server (2008) and then for each user enable licences in the Cloud (Office 365) using PowerShell.
My first thought was a console-based app in C# or VB.net but now that I realize that running a PS Script remotely using C# can be quite a challenge I'm starting to think in alternatives like perform all the stuff using PowerShell, I guess this is a better approach but I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.
I cant understand why this works (Start a service "test" on a remote computer):
Dim rCommand As String
rCommand = "c:pstoolspsservice \computer -u admin -p blabla start test"
Shell("cmd.exe /c" & rCommand)

For the ease of tech-support, I plan on trying to impliment a hidden back-door into the engine that is password protected and activated by a key-press. What I want to do is:when the enter key is pressed, have the dll run the sub that is listed in the enter key, for example:
In the dll:

I'm implementing an application using vb.net 2005 with oracle 10g and I came across a functionality that should Select/Insert/Update/Delete data from three different tables in oracle.So I`m wondering if there is a way to prepare all the 3 commands (SQL Statements) separately and then execute them in one shot to the oracle, so in this way I can guarantee that all of them are successfully executed or all are failed to execute, and also I could gain more performance which is critical in my case.Thus I`m looking for a syntax in vb.net that helps me execute more than one OracleCommand in one shot to the oracle.

View 26 RepliesI was recently assigned to do some research on how to approach a project. Right now we have an old program written in tcl. From this tcl program ( running on VMS client computer), we are able to run unix commands to execute processes on a unix server. This is done via tcpip. Now, we are thinking of making upgrades to this system . We are wondering if this kind of thing was possible with Visual Basic. Are we able to run a VB program on windows computer to run UNIX commands on a server? If so, what issues might be brought up. If anyone has even the briefest guideline or tip on this,

I have a logout menu option in my MDI application. On log out I want to close all open forms. currently i am using following code snippet to achieve this;

It is working perfect in my test environment, even though I expected For Each loop will throw "Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute" exception. since on each child form Close() calls, f.MdiChidren collection get modified, that surprised me a lot. Can anybody tell me why it's not throwing that exception?However it throws "Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute" in a client system.

I'm fairly new here and based on the help that i've seen people give I though this would be a great place to ask! Basically, I'm new with coding, so I decided to work with Minecraft - specific a Minecraft Server Starter. It has a built in text box to display all the stuff that the console would normally display and an input tetbox to use commands.I have it so you can either use the Normal Minecraft Server or a Bukkit server. Basically, when I run minecraft.jar it works perfectly, I get the Output from the console and I can input commands.When I use craftbukkit.jar (bukkit) I get the Output of the console fine, but I can't input any commands... I can't figure out why it's doing this!

I wrote a program that read a text file, find some specific text and eventually replace it with other. This works fine but after the file creation I have to ftp MANUALLY to my AS400, putting the file and finally run a specific command.
Here's the question, I saw that I can use FtpWebRequest but it only permits to download, upload and so on, I need to run a custom command (passing a string).in other words here's what I need:
user = "me"
pass = "you"
host = "as400"
ftp.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential(user.Text, pass.Text)'now the connection is opened put my file send custom command
