View 12 RepliesI would like to execute an external program within powerpoint after the presentation has loaded so i can see if its working. In short my overall objective is to execute the external program which will open up the command prompt and use the sendkeys method to sendkeys to command prompt which help it to run a script at the correct time (which is after presentation is loaded).
View 9 RepliesI am using a .Net JavaScript implementation called Jurassic to run user-controlled scripts within my .Net 4 WPF application coded in VB.Net - C# answers are fine. The script engine runs on its own thread and provides an API for the script to interact with my application. This all works really nicely until a user executes a script that causes an infinite loop and takes out a core of the processor.
[Code]...
The reason I care about keeping the thread alive is because the user who wrote the script and the user who is running it may not be the same, and I want to keep the experience as smooth as possible the the user running the thread. There also might be legitimate situations in which a single JavaScript function would run for a long time and I do not want to kill that, I just want to stop being allowed to hog the resources.
Solutions that involve stopping the thread from slowing down the system but that still show high CPU usage are not preferable because I do not want the user to wrongly feel that the application is resource intensive.
I wanted to know if it is possible to Zip a folder without any external dll nor any external references - just with native features.I've been able to Zip files with System.IO.Packaging, but it does not include folders and I cannot tell it to Zip the parent folder.I know there are external dll and so, but I'd like to know if it's possible to make it from a native way.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to eliminate a VB.NET button on my aspx page. Trying to use javascript and ajax to execute the same code my vb had.I put in a script manager, set EnablePageMethods to true, added a static subroutine, and referred to it in my javascript function (BTW -- this seems a lot of work just to execute an existing subroutine). The javascript calls my code-behind and it almost works.Problem is, now I'm getting a NullReferenceException when SimulatePrintBatchClick tries to do anything with the controls.
Error is 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object', line is 'pnlVars.Controls.Clear'
Here's the code from UW.aspx:
<WebMethod()> _

when I run the above code in PrintBatch_Click it all executes just fine. I really don't understand why it bombs out as a subroutine.
Perhaps this is not the way to do this, but I'm at a loss for finding a different way. Originally this code was handled by an ASP/VB button, but the specs have called for it to be deleted.

View 1 RepliesFirst, Im new to VB but have been programming for 20 years.
Ive been creating an application that starts with a form that has 4 text boxes with corresponding search buttons.You key something in to one of the text boxes and click the corresponding search button and it would execute the code in the button click event. It worked.
Ive done something though to make it not work.When I run it and click on the button it doesnt run the click event.
If I double click on the button in the development mode, it should, I thought, go to the click event in the code but it doesnt.It creates a new click event with the same name as the original but with a_1 appended on to the end of the name.
I`m now at the point calling server from vb.net, and run query inside vb.net code.I have write two codes on button click. One button is checked server connection, other should execute query for server table.Connection code is working, as I have set two messages, and getting successfull message. Second code is not working, as nothing happened when press button. Sql statement is very simple, and it works if I run it manually.[code]

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a program that has command buttons, each running a different file. I have added some files so far, but I encountered a problem with a couple of them.
For example, I want to run Zuma's Revenge! right from the program, but it is not working. If I run the game from outside the program, it runs perfectly, but when I try running it from the program, it keeps saying "Zumas Revenge! - Adventure has stopped working."
What really confused me, is that the game is running normally if I run it from its folder or by using the shortcut, while from the program it isn't.I'm using Windows 7, with Visual Basic 2010 Express.
'Here's the code I'm using:
Private Sub Zumas_Revenge_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Zumas_Revenge.Click
Process.Start(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "umas Revenge! - AdventureumasRevengeAdventure.exe")
End Sub
well i tried to make this vb code execute another app *hidden*(as in window not visible) and it didnt work because the window is still fully visible.. i dont know why, i think its just because of this particular kind of exe or something..
is there another way to really execute this file hidden? i dont know how to do it but i heard about mabye threading it or making it a windows service? will that solve this?

My problem relates to executing an application located on a network share and getting various security exceptions in trying to do so. By far the greatest number of replies to this sort of problem relate to creating a new Code Group under Runtime Security Policy in the .NET Framework (v2 in this case) Configuration tool. However try as I might, and I've spent hours, trying various things with the config tool (and with caspol), I just cannot get my app to work.Still fails on things like reading command-line parameters and displaying a web page in a WebBrowser control or firing up a browser using Process.Start. In fact I've regressed to creating a VB6 version for this particular task as time is off the essence. Which works fine! As I mentioned lots of people have posted on this topic and not s few of them seem not to have resolved their issues either. So I was wondering if anyway had come up with a definitive solution for this problem which, in my case, seems to affect XP machines only? Seems to work OK on Vista, 7, 2003 Server, etc - although I haven't run exhaustive tests in these environments.
View 1 RepliesI have a CRM application that I would like to programatically post new records and updates to, based on values in other tables getting inserted or updated. Problem is because of how this CRM app was designed I cannot use straight SQL insert/update SQL commands. This is because the database has some proprietary account#/record ID generation algorithm, and also writes to a log table using some pretty cryptic looking values.
The only way to ensure the integrity of the data is to use a the COM based API they provide. How can I send calls to this API from SQL Server code, I'm guessing a CLR user defined function? Can anyone point me to such tutorial on the web?
The updates I am making MUST be in real time, that is why I need to use a trigger that calls this app's API.
