im trying to make a little app that you can run from a web address bar... some games we play has that function in the game but some dont... so i found some source code online on how to insert data into registry and i can launch the game from a web browser address bar... BUT i need to pass another argument path to game\game.exe -mod:"modname here" -server:"server ip here":"server port here" -noautoplay now i can get it to load with path to game\game.exe -server:%Host%:%Port% -noautoplay some code from the app....
Dim u As New Uri(args(0))
Dim arguments As String = reg.GetValue("HeatLinkArguments").ToString()
arguments = arguments.Replace("%Authority%", u.Authority)
[code]....
but how can i add a string in of my own??? i want to have something like this....
path to game\game.exe -mod:%ModName% -server:%Host%:%Port% -noautoplay
arguments = arguments.Replace("%ModName%", "name of mod")
how would i insert "name of mod" in to the replace?
I have an application which sits on general users machines. What I want to be able to do is for the users to create a new directory through the application that will create a directory on a server that they do not have access to for secutiry reasons. Then the users can create a file within the new folder through the application, again which they do not have access to. The whole idea is to have an application that manages files that are able to be accessed by many users through the application / backend database, and therefore we do not want the user to be able to manipluate the folder / files by mapping to the location. Then if the user wants to work on the file he requests it through the application which then copies it locally to their machine.
The way that I can see this working is by having a service running on the server that has access to create folders and files in this location. The user can then request the creation of a folder / file through the application which then instructs the service to create the folder / file.
Is there anyway that I can pass arguments directly into the service on the server, or would I have to create an entry in a database on the server that the service is monitoring and then performs the request?2a. If I do have to have the service monitoring the database if I make the service check this every second will this slow the server down and will the server guys at a company be OK with this running this quick?I also need to be able to let the user know through my application that the folder / file has been created successfully, therefore what is the best way to do this? Again get the service to write to the database that the request has been completed? If this is the case then my app will have to poll the database continually to check the database that the request has been completed, this could slow the application down?
i want to call one (executable) file form another Application's (Main) mnu_Click event.how to call exe in Main Application.what code should be written in Config.exe?
Im trying to call a procedure to run into a thread..But this procedure requires two arguments. How can I pass these arguments in to the function when the thread call:
Dim myThread As New Threading.Thread(New Threading.ThreadStart(AddressOf PopulateTermList myThread.Start()
addressof PopulateTermList should only be called without parenthesis(the VB tells me this)
I have a listView control on one of my form. It contains no of records. Now my question is how to pass a particular record or its reference to another form i.e. I have designed a form which display's the details of a particular record (Searching facility is there in that form.). When user double clicks on the particular recode in the listView, I want to load that record into the 'search form' (i.e. the form which displays the full details of a particular record).
Ok im going to make a updater for a current program. And I found this code on this website.
Dim OnlineLocation As String = My.Application.CommandLineArgs(0) Dim LocalLocation As String = My.Application.CommandLineArgs(1) My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile(OnlineLocation, LocalLocation) MessageBox.Show("Update Complete")
But i was wondering, once ive made it. How do u actually pass arguments to it.
Ok. I just took my final for VB and the last chapter we did was on procedures and functions. Functions was the only thing out of this whole semester that I was just completely lost. I'm trying to work on this cause I'm taking Advanced VB next so I wanna know what I'm doing. So I'm trying another tutorial in the book and I'm really lost. Here is what the it wants you to do.
Retail Price Calculator
Write an application that accepts from the user the wholesale cost of an item and its markup percentage. (For example, if an item's wholesale cost is $5 and its retail price is $10, then the markup is 100%)
The program should contain a function named CalculateRetail that receives the wholesale cost and markup percentage as arguments, and returns the retail price of the item.
When the user clicks the Get Retail button, the program should do the following:Verify that the values entered by the user for the wholesale cost and the markup percent are numeric and not negative. Call the CalculateRetail function Display the retail cost as returned from the function.
Here's what the calculator looks like and my code so far.
Public Class Form1 Private Sub btnRetail_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnRetail.Click
I am running an exe program from VB (Visual Studio 2005). This exe program accepts 3 parameters.I am passing the first parameter as a string and the next 2 as parameters from the Sub. However, the exe program treats all of them as string. I tried to use "&" and "+" between arguments and got the same results.[code]...
how to use Visual Basic to pass arguments to an application after said application was started. Example, "myapp.exe -d" enables debug mode, I want to be able to start myapp.exe then have a checkbox labeled "Debug mode" in Visual Basic. Upon "Debug Mode" being checked, it passes the argument -d to myapp.exe. Upon it being unchecked, it withdraws that argument from myapp.exe.
I've constructed a custom System.Windows.Forms.Form that requires arguments to New. I want to use one of these as the MainForm in a Windows Forms Application. How do I get the Application Framework to pass those arguments as needed?
Is it possible to pass multiple arguments to a delegate method from a list(Of T).ForEach call?So, I'd like to pass a listbox object to the delegate routine below:
Sub test() Dim names As New List(Of String) names.Add("Bruce") names.Add("Alfred")
I'm a huge music person (got my own lil record thing going) but I'm wanting to design a program that would make music in my way. I have a decent amount of background knowlege of Visual Basic and Java I'm just wondering how could I execute this whole project. The Project is making a MPC Sampler. MPC is a drum machine; a machine with buttons that once you press it that it will play a sound from a drum (ex: snare, kick, tom, ect.) . So I would want to make some pads on my program that each have their own sound. Total of 16 pads. Which the design wouldn't be hard to make nor would the functionality of it having the play back sound (in my opinoin it wouldn't be hard atleast). But the thing is I wanna map out these pads to number keys on the number pad or keyboard. I'm not so sure how to do that. But that's all the easy stuff...
Also finding information is making a sound directory. What I mean by this is that I want to make a User Interface that will open up a file directory of sounds and the user can select what "kick" or "snare" sound he may want for the kick or snare pad. I don't know how to do that or even know what to search; neverless I don't know if this whole project idea is a good idea for Visual Basic or another programing language.
Also LATER ON I am wanting to add a record and export function that alows users to..well...record and export their beat or instrumental ha. That doesn't seem too too complex (mainly due to the fact that all it needs to do is record the users key strokes and then show them and play the sounds, but obviously it would get more complex than that.)
Here is an image of one of many MPCs but one with a directory - [URL]
Table2 should be updates from table based on the results... If all results is PASS then the table2 should be updated as pass... if any result is FAIL then the entire case_no should be updates a s fail..
This code was working consistently, but now...This code works on the first pass.Then second pass it just hangs on Code:Dim tcpClient As TcpClient = tcpListener.AcceptTcpClient() for about 2 minutesThen the code will fork for another pass, then fail.....
Just started VB programming this week and have found a wealth of information about what I'm trying to do. Problem is, some of it is more complete than others.Here's what I'm trying to do:In Form1 (my main form), I want to instantiate a class that contains a couple of properties (speed setpoint and position setpoint). When I click a button, I want to pass this data to Form2 and populate two textboxes on Form2 with the properties of this object. I want to manipulate the property values on Form2 and click an OK button which closes the dialog and returns the manipulated data, updating the property values of the object. Here's the algorithm I'm following:1) On Form1, instantiate the class2) On Form1's "Pass Data" button click event handler, instantiate a Form2 object and invoke the ShowDialog method, passing the object as a parameter.
3) On Form2, overload the ShowDialog method to accept the object as a parameter and modify the method so that it returns the manipulated class data.4) On Form2, in the ShowDialog method, populate the textboxes with the class data that was passed in.Here's where I get stuck. If I press the OK button on Form2 (DialogResult.OK), it returns me to Form1, but what hook do I have in Form1 to receive the manipulated class data that the ShowDialog method is returning?Here's an example of what I'm thinking about:
Code: Public Class Form1 Dim clsController1 As New MotionController
[code].....
I'm sure it's probably a very elementary question, but every explanation I've found seems to be incomplete.
I am trying to build a web page that call an exe with some arguments. It's working perfectly when i launch it on the ASP.NET development server but it's not working well when I deploy it under IIS. He is the VB code source.The log text file is created in both cases but the exe is just launched from Visual Web developer 2008.[code]
I'm making a multipurpose tool. In with I need to run some DOS commands with arguments.So, Ex. of what I have now.
Private filepath As String = "C:UsersTTGToolToolG5.5.0pluginscom.zend.guard.core.resources.win32.x86_5.5.0 esources" Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click[code]....
So it should be "like I like cats" or what ever it is in the textboxes in the command prompt.

On form load of WindowsApplication2.exe,WindowsApplication1.exe is started & arguments are sent.Now I want to check on form load of WindowsApplication2.exe,I do not want to start WindowsApplication1.exe, i just want to send the arguments to the WindowsApplication1.exe. Is is possible? To send the command line arguments to the ruunning exe.
I have a problem and stuck on it here is my code it produce the following error "Too many arguments to Public Sub New()"

I am looking for some input. I am helping with a web application that is fairly large. We have some logic factored out into classes, not a true business logic layer (yet ). The classes are setup to pull values directly from the QueryString or Session variables and I'm not sure that that mehtod is proper or even a
The reason I would like some input is, there may be a chance to rewrite or at least refactor the code.
I have a console application which reads .txt files. I want to be able to drag a txt file over my app and it would automatically open my app and show the text files contents. I think I have to use command line arguments like this:
Sub Main(ByVal cmdArgs() As String) End Sub Sub ReadFile(FilePath as String) End Sub
But how can I pass the text files path to my ReadFile sub?
I'm writing a class-library in VB.Net and one of the subs that are being called from the application which is using my library has more or less the following syntax:
Public Sub LoadDict(ByVal PhoneticType As String, ByVal strDict As String) where PhoneticType can be phonSoundex, phonDoubleMetaphone or noPhonetic
I want to give the application-developer a possibility to select the PhoneticType from a list when writing the call of above sub (I think it's called attribute-arguments). This would make it easier for the developer since spelling-errors can be avoided and which will avoid errors when using the library. I think it's all about attributes but I haven't managed to get it to work despite trying.
