How To Execute Program Automatically - Scheduled Program
Sep 30, 2011
I would like to ask for a recommendation for my project. Basically, it's a scheduled program that shall run at a given period of time, for example, 6:00 pm daily, it includes importing an excel file and inserting it in a sql table. I have my codes with me, but I dont know how to execute this program automatically.
I've been having huge problems having a VB.NET Windows Forms program run as a scheduled task under XP SP3. The program runs when I set the task up to use my non-admin network username and password, I can see the interface fine (albeit without the desired results - the program requires access to remote shares). When I set the task up with the network administrator account credentials, the task is "Running" but I do not see any interface. It doesn't error - it just kind of sits there happily in the background.
I am developing a VB.NET based application which requires administrative privileges in order to run properly. However I went through several tutorials online and it all mentioned how to do this using a mainifest file. The problem with this technique is that whenever the program is opened I need to type in the Administrator password, however I want this to happen automatically. (The user should not type the Admin password, the password must be entered from the code level)[code]...
I would like to use Windows Scheduled Tasks to have a Word 2003 macro run automatically every week.I have automated an Excel 2003 macro by using Windows Scheduled Tasks and the Workbook_open event and was hoping to find somethings comparable to automated execution of the Word macro.I then start Excel by running a .BAT file from Windows Scheduled Tasks which in turn executes the workbook.xls file created above whic starts Excel, and runs whatever routines I called in the above .xls macro.
My basis of my programForm 1 has functions, which are controlled through button1 which sends an email, At the end of the send email function I have Dialog1.ShowDialog() Which opens Dialog1 to say "Email has been sent" With a button, I want this button to execute the whole program, How do I do this?
There is a "submit" button and a textbox, when the button is pressed, i want to connect to access database and search for the entered text in the textbox . if true i want to show "okay" a string .
I want to make a program with a button and a textbox. When i click the button the program (don't know how) writes the text from the textbox in a process called test.exe. Test.exe is a cmd like window, there is only one place to write on it. How can i make it happen?
But I need to do same by giving a path to a unzipped files instead of installing it on system. e.g My autoit path where I extracted files are z:Softwareautoit3.exe and my scripts path is "Z:Scripts est.au3".
When I test it on my mysql query browser, it works well.
Now, I want to execute it in VB with mysqlCommand. of course @rownum is defined as a parameter and waiting for its value. How can I execute that query in VB?
I'm developing a web application that displays items from a work queue to a user. When an item is selected I have the app lock that item out so no other user can select it. By hitting the back button in the app it unlocks the item.
I want to be able to unlock the item if the user hits the backspace key. I know what code I need to unlock it. I just need to know how to make the code execute on backspace key stroke.
What I am trying to do is go to a website using a webbrowser, and then simulate a click. I can do this easy enough when the click is on a regular button, not handling javascript. But it seems that the website has a javascript function handling the click that I want to simulate[code]...
Im trying to execute a winform app from my website (asp .net), this winforms app its execute in the server side for processing information and send email, but i need to pass some arguments, from the webpage i know how to do it, but im asking how to catch the arguments in the winform app?[code]...
I'm writing a program and have run into a bit of a snag. I have the code perform a button click on certain buttons, the reason for this is I have a bunch of buttons that each do something and one that does everything automatically. I suppose I could rewrite everything under that one button but that would essentially double the size of my program, I could use an if statement to catch the fact that the program is in automatic mode but that would be about 15 conditions (not looking forward to writing that statement ;p)
Clicking the buttons is a nice simple, clean solution. The exception being the program performs the click then continues on executing the rest of the code in the actually clicked button while at the same time executing the code called by the code click. Main problem with this is the data that needs to be populated by the code click isn't being populated fast enough for the code in the main button so then there is errors, blank data, program doing nothing. A simple sw timer to delay could work (I know how to make one of those) but the problem with that is the program is executing against a webpage and if the webpage takes a few seconds longer to load then anticipated everything is out of wack again. I'm looking for a simplish way to cause the program to wait for ALL code called by any raised event to finish before proceeding.
i.e. Call Button.clickEvent > Wait for code and subroutines executed by Button.clickEvent to finish > continue with rest of code in button.
Below is the code I'm using so far for the user clicked button.
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click Button4.PerformClick() 'Need to wait for all code executed by Button4 and anything it calls to finish x = 0
I am trying to execute a program with switches that ends up with a shortcut being too long and exceeds the 260 character limit for shortcuts in windows XP:
I want to set resolution automatically when my program will run. I want to make it (resolution) 1280*1024. What should I write there in my vb.net program to set resolution when my program will run? When user will stop using my program it will get default resolution.
I need to be able to have my program run once a week or daily automatically and not on startup since my workstation is on sometimes and sometimes logged off.
I'm trying to access an SSRS url in my app via backgroundworker. I've managed to generate events via the backgroundworker when my app starts. But how do I go to an url without Internet Explorer or any other browser starting up? I want to prime the ssrs server on the start of my application so the first report that is generated with it isn't slow.
I'm working on the VB.NET VS 2010. We are creating a software distribution list. Currently a user needs to go to the Add New Programs wizard to view their available programs and then click install. We'd like to automate the clicking of the "Add" button to and kickoff the installation via a script.
I have a web browser on my form and it is definitely big enough to warrant a tab control, with the web browser being on the second tab. I have a button on the first tab that should have the browser navigate, but how do I make the program automatically switch to tab 2? i.e., this is what happens:
1 - user is on tab 1,
2 - user clicks a button on tab 1,
3 - the program does what it needs to do and automatically switches to tab 2
For instance, here is the button that will be clicked:
Private Sub swap_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles swap.Click If video = False Then
[Code].....
So the button will make the web browser go somewhere, I just want to have the form switch to the other tab automatically so that the user doesn't have to do it. I tried using webbrowser1.focus() to no avail. Is there a tab switch?
