View 4 RepliesI'm using VB.NET for a web-application that starts some process using CreateObject, like this:
Dim AVObject = CreateObject("avwin.application")
After all is done everything get closed down en stopped using the proper release functions, however, for some reason the process remains.
Is there some way in which I can get the process id of the started process, in order to explicitly kill it just before termination?
I am trying to create an app that will perform actions on specific times (much like the Windows Task Scheduler). I am currently using Process.Start() to lunch the file (or exe) required by the task. I am initiating a process by calling a file (an .mp3) and the process starts WMP (since it is the default application), so far so good. Now I wan't to kill that process. I know that it is normal behavior for the Process.Start(string, string) to return nothing (null in C#) in this case. So I am asking how can i close WMP when I called it through Process.Start(string, string)??

I want to know if there is a way to get each new process (what has been started) in a real-time manner (instantly). I tried until now something like:
1. Getting the number of opened/running processes
2. If the number is different from the previous check then the program is scanning each process (what is running) using a timer, each process has assigned its "pid" (using array) -- so if there is a new "pid" the process will be scanned -- else the process will be skipped. (scanning: getting its "object" path and creating a md5 signature etc.) This is working but is inefficient(very)...
whenever i start my app and let it start a process, and the process dies or gets killed my app goes down too. but this only occurs when i'm debugging, not when i run the program
View 2 RepliesI have searched the www but so far cannot see how to do it. Perhaps via a try/catch statement?
How can I test if a process can be started in vb before actually starting it, e.g. when I use process.start("<name>.exe") ....
but before doing that I would like to make sure that it will be callable.. is this possible at all? maybe by using some kind of My.Computer .FileSystem .FileExists ("<name>.exe") statement?
ProcessWindowStyle.Maximized for an existing (already started process)
View 6 RepliesI run a program based on a timer in VB.NET, and it executes just fine when I don't try to retrieve the output. For some reason, though, I constantly get an error on the Dim myOutput line... Can anyone spot my error? output is a string.Error: StandardOut has not been redirected or the process hasn't started yet.

first of all, I'm not 100% sure this is the right forum to post this, as there seems ot be tones and tones of forum branches here, so if I'm not in the right location, i'm creating an IDE for a proamming language and I need a way to monitor the physical memmory usage of a process tree. I'm not talking about the WorkngSet64 of a process, but the WorkingSet64 of the process and any child process started by it.

View 5 RepliesI'm trying to get a process (wmplayer) started with a maximised main window. I've tried:
Dim VidPROC As System.Diagnostics.Process
Dim startInfo As New ProcessStartInfo("wmplayer", "C:MyVideo.mpg")
startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Maximized
VidPROC = Process.Start(startInfo)
but the process starts with a standard, small empty mplayer window, NOT maximised. (If I change .Maximised to .Hidden it starts hidden, but seems to ignore it when set to .Maximised).
I'm using excel via interop in application.Sometimes users kill application that created excel instance and that results in excel instance sitting in memory without any chance of disposing it.First I tried to tackle this using ROT(running object table) looks like not all instances of excel are registered there.Than I tried to somehow mark excel process after it is started via interop.[code]This works as long as excel is visible but in my case excel window is invisible.All I need is to somehow mark process that started via automation with the parent PID, so that later I can kill it if parent does not exist.

I'm using the VB code below to create a file and write to it:

myStreamWriter.Write(sageLinkerRef)

I have written a windows service that is meant to launch a notepad when a specific action happens. The problem i have is that even though the service launches notepad, the actual notepad it self is NOT visible. I know that it has been launced because i can see the process in the task manager. By the way the process is listed as a SYSTEM process rather than a process under my user name (i believe that is because my process is a "LocalSystem" one).
View 4 RepliesI have a form with multiple tabs that allows the user to insert data into a customer table.The ID is an Identity column. After a row is inserted into the database I would like to retrieve the ID number for that row that was just inserted into the database. Can you tell me the best way to do this?When the user clicks on a Relatives tab the application inserts the customer to the database. If I can get the the newly inserted customer ID then I can use it for the CustomerID column of the Relatives table when inserting a Relative so the 2 tables are properly related. At present the program uses this code to do just that but this code will only be good for a single user system. It's possible that we may sell it as a multi-user system and I think the current way we are doing this will fail because there is not telling whose ID will be returned in that scenario.
Here's the query that we are using:
SqlStatement =
"SELECT Max(ID) " & _

I currently have a JSTree all set up to do the creation and renaming of a new node:[code]The problem is that my success doesn't seem to get hit when I return an integer ID on the create node, thus I can't set it to a global variable. What exactly do I need to return in the function to get back the ID from the server? I'm simply returning a new integer right now.

Im curently writing an app for windows mobile (so its using the compact .net framework)It has a loop which finds out how many images are in a folder, makes a picturebox for each one, then sets the .image property to the appropriate image. It also adds the name, size, location etc.What I dont know how to do is add a mouseclick event to it?I probably would have a subroutine already written in the code which could be used, or would it have to be a new one made for each picturebox?
