I am struggling to pass a parameter to a VB.NET application via a Windows scheduled task. It works perfectly in Visual Studio (passing a command line arguement via project properties).If I am calling a VB6 application, then I will supply the following parameters and it works:
Run: c:progra~1TestTest.exe TestParameter Start In: c:progra~1Test However, if I supply the same parameters in VB.NET, the program throws an exception when it tries to create an instance of a class in the Form.Load: System.NullReferenceException cannot create instance of object.
I have also tried the following:Run: c:program filesTestTest.exe TestParameter Start In: "c:program filesTest" This time the status of the scheduled task changes to "cannot start".What is the correct way to specify command line parameters in a scheduled task for a VB.NET program?UPDATE I found the solution on this web page:[URL}.. I am still confused as to why the program would not create an instance of an object when I used the 8 bit paths (i.e. progra~1)
I would like to create a console program in VB.net that would allow parameters. What i would like to do is in the code below add parameters so the webpart page can be created from the Run menu. e.g. C:.......MyProgram.exe "Design" --This would then create the Design webpart page.
I tried looking at the internet but was not very successfull.
Module Main
Public Sub Main(ByVal args As String())
Dim prj As String

I know how to pass arguments between two dotnet applications! However I have hard time with this: I want to pass a command line argument. for example; test.exe is a console application (none dotnet) self terminating app. From cmd.exe if I type "test.exe -v" the cmd output text will display the test.exe version info. If I place the test.exe in the same path as my VB.net app.What I want to do is:

I have beginner skills using VB (am using the Express edition to learn). I would like to know how to set up a conditional statement in a Windows Form (WF) app that would check if a specific command line has been passed by another separate app that launchesthe Windows Form app using command lines, and if not passed, then the Windows Form app would shut down (exit, close).So far, I can use:
For Each s As String In My.Application.CommandLineArgs
If s <> "xyz" Then
Me.Close()

View 2 RepliesI'm using Jmchillney's formless tray application and I want to pass some parameters into it using some other application I have. Then I want the formless tray application to do some work with these inputs. How can I pass into an executable parameters from another executable? I want to send some parameters from Application A to Application B. If app B doesn't exist I want it result in an error message the app A to display an error message. If app B does exist, it will do some work with the parameters and return a result back to app A and that's it.
View 26 RepliesThis may be simple but I have brain freeze on just nowIf I cd into a directory from a command line and then run my executable VB.net application, is there a way to detect the directory that it was launched from. I currently have the executable in my PATH however ideally the person would cd into the directory that they were wanting the executable to act upon.
View 3 RepliesI would need samples/hints on how to progammatically generate executable files after taking custom parameters from the user.I have looked into codedom and I almost got it to work except for the little fact that my application launches the console too and it's meant to be a simple windows form.

I have a legacy vb6 application that uses a shell command to launch a newer .net application. It's a very simple command, just launches an app. Here's the problem. When I run the .net app through the shell command, it tries to connect to a database that is not referenced in it. If I double-click the .net executable, it runs just fine and connects the way it is supposed to. Normal, no problems. Only when I run it from the shell command do I have problems. I have checked everything I can think of and simply can not come up with a reason why the app would behave differently when launched from a shell command.
View 3 RepliesI am using the following code to run defrag and to analyze if the C: drive requires defragmentation:
Dim analyze As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:WindowsSystem32defrag.exe", "C: /a /h /u /v")
This process runs through analyzing, runs it in normal mode & prints the progress to the command window.
My problem is that as soon as the process is complete the command window closes. I need it to stay open so that I can read the results.
I am trying to send a command to the external command line (cmd.exe) from the Windows form application that I'm writing in VB.NET (using VS2008).
I can only access the external program thru the command line (its not my program) and I must do so from a form app.
I am trying to use the following code. I am able to call a cmd.exe window, but I can't pass the command line my command.
Using mp As New Process
With mp.StartInfo
.FileName = "cmd.exe"

I am using a CheckedListBox that is populated with Filenames (full path, i.e. C:TestTest.jpg)When I have the files that I want in the CheckedListBox I wish to click a Start Button which will process the list one at a time using an exe program that runs on the Command Line. There are arguments that need to pass to the command line as well as the file location in order for the program to process.I currently have it working but the issue is the loop finishes quickly and it is left up to the CMD.exe to finish the process. What I would like is for the LOOP to wait until each file completes processing before passing the command for the next file in the CheckedListBox.There some reasons I wish for it to work this way.
1) I would like to have a button that can Pause/Restart the Loop.
2) I would like to have a button that can Stop the Loop so the whole process can end.
3) I would like to have the Loop remove each file one by one from the CheckedListBox after it has been processed.
4) I would like to display a Message once all the files have been processed.
5) And if it were possible I would like to report the status either by text or a progress bar showing where it is at in the process.
6) And the ability to add some error handling if possible.
Since the Loop finishes so quickly as it just passes the command to the command line using the & as a seperator it is the command line that is handling the rest of the process. Because of this there is not control over it in the GUI.The code I am using allows the Command Line text to display in the Form so it won't open up a seperate window to run CMD.exe. This is the desired affect as I would like everything to appear to run from within the Form itself.

If I want to use a FolderItem verb like 'Copy to folder', then I have to somehow supply the name of the folder to which I want the object copied. How is this done. I dont understand how msdn can be so minimal on examples.
View 5 RepliesI'd like to pass a parameter on the startup of an application, and use it in my code.
Such as passing parameters in C# using the (String []args), then referring to them by args[i] for some i.
For example if I have a function call like below
Function callingMe()
Exit Function
And my Function call is like below
SomeObj.callingMe('1','2','3','4','5') // Variable number of arguments
Inside callingMe() function, I want to know arguments passed i.e 1,2,3,4,5 and the Object i.e SomeObj in above case.
I've created an exe that is a ticket management system for in-house debugging, etc... It uses the same database that is accessible via MSAccess. In order to create a seamless work environment, one of the supervisors wants employees to be able to see data from the tables the exe uses without actually opening the exe and looking up the record. That's no problem since it's all the same db, but they also want to be able to open that ticket with the click of a button...instead of opening the exe and doing the search themselves, they want to just *click* and have the appropriate ticket open in front of them. I have no clue where to even start to do this....

View 4 RepliesI have a bunch of methods that do some formatting on data that is contained in a structure. I'm passing the structure to the methods as a parameter. The problem is that the same structure is returned from 2 different webservices depending on the program flow (I did not create these services and cannot change them). So at one point I would be passing WebService1.Service.MyStruct and later I might have to pass WebService2.Service2.MyStruct.
Is there a way I can write only one method to handle both type of parameter? The struct is the same and only differs by namespace. I can overload the methods but I was wondering if there was another way to do this with reflection or something along those lines.
Just kind of curious about something: why does VS (vb and C#) default params to pass-by-value?I almost never need or want to pass anything by value. Maybe this is some reflection on the way I code. I would never manipulate a value type param directly; i would just return the new value from a private variable... and I just don't see the need to do the background work all the time to add copies of everything to the stack. Why wouldn't I just about always want to pass-by-ref?
