How To Exit The Program (dispose()) Instead Check If A Certain Process Is Running
Jul 8, 2009
I'm not asking how to exit the program( dispose() ) instead I have a program that checks if a certain process is running and if so it displays a message box, stops the process and (Should) exit the program. If the process is not detected then the program loads normally and opens an external program. My problem is that it stops the process and still runs the program. How can I fully stop the code and exit my program?

I need to check if a certain process is NOT running. So until now i've been using a loop and if it doesn't find the process then it alerts me (with MsgBox) however now i realized that the for each loops looks on each process and if that process isn't the one im looking for its gonna give me an alert, that it was not running even when the next process could be the one i need to know about.

Ok so I'm working on an anti-hack program for my online game and when the game is running it hides its self in the background. I need it to periodically or always(Would that slow down the computer its on?)check if processes are running so it can stop them. If possible I would also like to know how I can have it so if the anti-hack's process is closed, the client.exe process will also close.What I have currently is:

I need to check if the explorer.exe process is running on a remote computer to verify that there is a user logged on the computer. I Also want to get the Process Owner of the explorer.exe process to check which user is logged on. I have found some VBscript examples online, but i can't seem to get them to work. If anyone knows of a better way of checking if and what user is logged on to a computer, please give me a reply also. I have tried System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses, but i can't seem to get the owner of the process, maybe WMI will do the trick ?

I am trying to write a Windows Script that will allow me to monitor the following: That 2 x seperate but specific processes within Component Services "Running Processes" list are currently running and have not reset within the past hour. If I already know the PID, then I can retrieve the CreationDate (I assume which I can use to check for restarts? or is this the actual process creation/installation date) for each specific process, however if a restart occurs the PID will change and my script needs to know what the new PID is without me telling it!

Although I signed up a year ago I didnt have enough free time to carry on programming, but have now made some time.
I have spent the past 2 hours trying to look for a code for visual basic 2008 that will check if a program is running.
It would be really helpful if someone wrote the whole code out and made it clear exactly where I put them name of the .exe file

I am creating a program that will check if a program is running, by checking its window title (NOT THE FILENAME, ITS WINDOW TITLE) and seeing if it is currently running.
So far I was only able to check if the program was running by its filename

I'm making a program in VB to check if a certain program is running, and if not, to start it up, because I'm hardly ever at my computer and sometimes the program that is being checked for existence tends to close down often, so I need something that will check for the existence of the program in question, and start it if it's not running

I have a program that 10-20 people use throughout the day. Because things are rapidly fluctuating I occasionally have to take the database offline, or restart the server for other reasons. I'd like to have a better way to make sure no one is currently in the program than walking to each person and asking them.
I don't want to re-invent the wheel if something like this already exists.
The thoughts I had were:
Create a database "history" entry each time users open or close the program to see who is currently using the system. Use WCF to have the clients "tell" the server that they are connected every X seconds.

What I'm trying to do is have a timer stop ticking after another program is x'd out. (Not really 'closed', but whenever the X button has been clicked). I know it would be an If statement, but i'm not sure how i'd go about implementing it from there.

I call the method GetUrl below provided in a form-based assembly from a console application to get the content of an HTML page. This works fine so far with one exception. The code starts an iexplore-process in the background and this process remains active even after fnishing my program. The only way I found to get rid of this process was to kill the process, but this seems not be be a very nice and mature solution. I already read that the NET webbrowser control in only a wrapper for an activeX COM control of IE.
Question: How can I close the newly created iexploe-process in a clean way using the webrowser object?

I'm having a problem with using the system.diagnostic.process. Basically, I can't get the myProcess.WaitForExit to work. I keep getting an error saying that "No process is associated with this object.". I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

The following code opens a Word doc and fills the data as designed. When I exit from it, the WINWORD.EXE process keeps active. If I execute the code a second time and exit from it again, a second process of WINWORD.EXE gets added and stays active. The example shown at url... doesn't produce the same problem. Obviously I'm not exiting the code as I should but I fail to see where.[code]

Basically, I am just trying to close the thread/process after it's done.
Private psi As ProcessStartInfo
Private cmd As Process
Public Delegate Sub InvokeWithString(ByVal text As String)
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim psi As New ProcessStartInfo("m7.bat")
[Code] .....
I am trying to close the thread so once it's done, it closed for good and my form is closed as well. I tried Me.Close() which results in: "Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'Form1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on." Error.
Me.Invoke(New InvokeWithString(AddressOf CloseME), e) - Results in parameter mismatch error.
However, things like Msgbox("Done") works perfectly.

I'm trying to run the "Shell" command in a VB.NET project, to execute an external file. For example: Shell("c: empmyfile.txt").
For some reason this throwing a "file not found" exception, yet the file is there. Now I've looked around and found that others recommend using the "System.Diagnostics.Process" method, which does work, however I don't want the file to run in-process, which is what that does.
I want to run the file out of process, so that when my program ends, the executed program keeps running independently. Hence my attempt to use Shell() but it refuses to work.
Is there another way besides Shell() to run a file out of process?

I'm using System.Management to start a process on a remote target via WMI like this:
InputParameters("CommandLine") = "executable here"
OutputParameters = ManagementClass.InvokeMethod("Create", InputParameters, Nothing)
This kicks off the process and my code continues to run, but I need a way of monitoring that process and not doing anything else until it finishes. Is there a simple solution? I'm hoping there's something similar to Process.WaitForExit like there is when creating a local process.
