I am trying to get the output of a CMD command attached to a RichTextBox control. For this sample, I am using the PING command. It works but unfortunately not the way I want it to. Instead of 'appearing' in my RichTextBox line by line, it waits until the entire process is completed and then it attachs it to my RTB.

I have two 1d arrays each containing some string data. I need to dump the contents of the arrays to a single richtextbox. I can do this, however the text isn't aligned properly.[code]...
View 10 RepliesI'm wondering, in Visual Basic 2008, how to execute an external dos command and get its output without help of an intermediate file (to speed up)?
View 1 RepliesI have a VB.net program in which I call the Shell function. I would like to get the text output that is produced from this code in a file. However, this is not the return value of the executed code so I don't really know how to.
This program is a service but has access to the disk no problem as I already log other information. The whole service have multiple thread so I must also make sure that when the file is written it's not already accessed.
I am building a quiz application which has 5 categories. I am saving details like name, category and score to DB. Table where all data is saved looks like :
Name Category Score
John Windows 10
Tom Mac 5
On the start page i want to disable/enable categories if user has/has not took quiz yet (ie. if John has already completed Windows quiz but hasn't Mac then enable Mac Quiz, disable Windows and show Windows score).Whats the most elegant way of retrieving these values from database and then passing them to variable or boolean? What if search returns NULL (if quiz was not taken by John) and manipulating output from SQL Database? I am using vb.net 2.0 and SQL server 2005 and its an asp.net application.
I have a program that runs a command line and retrieves the output, but the output I receive is unorganized and run-on. Since 3 processes are being run, I'd like each process results to be listed on a different line.
Here is the code:
Dim viewteam = Page.Request.Form("viewteam")
Dim arg As String = "/c net localgroup hglocal-" & viewteam & "-gold"
Dim arg2 As String = "/c net localgroup hglocal-" & viewteam & "-rw"

View 1 RepliesI'd like to have a macro in Visual Studio 2005 that calls a DOS command and redirects the output (stdout and stderr) to a file. Just calling the command and ">" redirecting it will not capture stderr, so there are two parts to this:
calling a DOS command capturing both stderr and stdout to a file during that call
I'd then like to open this file in Visual Studio after the command completes.
Getting command parser to work. I've made a new topic for this, because the old one isn't getting much attention, but also, I wanted to refine my questions, so that they would be easier to work with..
Here's how I have this code set up in my project..
I have a function module with public functions like so..

This isn't generating any output.. not sure how to go about getting it working. ha, I'm learning though...slowly, but surely. I like the hands on approach of implementing things into my project, and working with them. I learn better that way, plus the project'll get completed eventually.
I have 2 VB programs that I would like to communicate with each other, but I want them to be separate EXEs. Anyway, the easiest way I figured would be for me to call the one program from the other and then return a result. How do I get this result into another program?
Here is how I want it to work:
1. Start System Information Program (easy)
2. Call a video test program, and send a couple arguments (see below)
3. Receive arguments from the video test (I do not know how to do this, I do not know how to send from the video test or receive from the system information)
I want to run a dos command with a button and the output need to come in the outpud textbox.the only problem is that i need to give another option in the dos command, how can i do this?This is what i use. but how can i give the second command in that command that is already running?

Dim StartInfo As New System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo

View 3 RepliesBased on the title I'm sure you all understand what I want... So, I need to work with CMD through my app. and I searched google and vbforums and I found some solutions but none of them helped me because all I found was either older version like VB.net 2005 like this topic HERE (and this is exactly what I want) and found some in other languages like c# or c++ that I really don't now them..

I want to run some dos commands (eg: a ROBOCOPY) and show the output from this realtime in a text window to show the user something is happening.The command may take a number of minutes so it's important the output is showing in the VB application realtime, and not just all at the end. Obviously the user will wonder what is happening during this time.

my code won't paste the clipboard details after it has finished the shell process.
I've spent all day and most of yesterday trying to find how to: 1. Detect if my printer is busy, because my code tells the printer to print more pages than it can cope with, so I need to delay the command for 'Print the next page' until the printer has finished printing the previous one.
2. Shift the output to my printer so that it gets printed in it's entirety on the paper, in stead of seemingly being anchored to some nebulous point on the A4 page. It starts printing at X = 29mm from the left edge, and Y is 28mm from the top, and stops at X = 22mm from the right edge and Y stops at 22mm from the bottom edge, leaving (aprox) 50mm of X and 50mm of Y unprinted.
3. Get useful information on Bounds, which I'm fairly certain is what I need to control where my printing should start and finish.I've hunted through this forum, MSDN, 'Help' (a misnomer if ever there was one) the VB Library and searched through one or two other forums, which either baffle me with reams of pretty much irrelevant code or suggest code to try which either just don't work or which don't declare all the variables and usually don't suggest what type of variable I need, it's all very frustrating.

View 11 RepliesWe learned How to assemble an input/output control board that would connect to your serial port. We were able to use out statements (back in the old gwbasic) to send output signals to the parallel port to turn on/off different outputs. The board had connections where you could connect lights, relays, etc, and had connections where you could attach switches and sensors.
I have been looking for something simple that I can manipulate in my programs. I already have an ActiveHome X10 interface which includes an activex for receiving and sending x10 signals (home automation, turning lights on/off, etc.). I want something that I can straight out connect relays to, and sensors as well. I don't want something that connects to the serial port since that is already being used up, the parallel port would work fine, or even better usb.

I'm in the process of switching my application from MSSQL to MYSQL. When I was using MSSQL, I retrieved the last auto increment value via
Private Sub dsImpoundInformation_Inserted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.SqlDataSourceStatusEventArgs) Handles dsImpoundInformation.Inserted
_impoundId = e.Command.Parameters("impoundId").Value
End Sub
[Code]...
ultimately, I'm just trying to get the last auto increment value but there are other sections of my code in other applications that I plan on switching to MYSQL that depend on output parameters. I have't yet explored using stored procedures but at this time I would like to get this to work in a similar fashion to how I had it with MSSQL.
trying to write a simple app that queries an access DB based on date .. the SQL looks like this and works fine with a date hard wired into the select:
SELECT Terminal_ID, SUM(Transaction_Quantity) AS Total
FROM tblTransaction
WHERE (TransactionType_ID = 3) AND (Transaction_DateTime > #1/1/2009#)
GROUP BY Terminal_ID
On the main form I have a monthcalendar control named 'FromDate' and a DataGridView control that shows the SQL results.
How do I get the user's selected date incorporated into the SQL statement that returns the results in the datagrid?
Something like:
WHERE (TransactionType_ID = 3) AND (Transaction_DateTime > Fromdate)
...but obviously there's much more to it.
