I have built and deployed an application in VB2008. If I start the program from the start menu a new session will start and there 'll be multiple sessions of the same programming running. I dont want this behaviour! I want the program to start only when no other session of the same program is running. How can I do that in VB2008?
View 9 RepliesEven after numerous attempts, im unable to set different sessions for multiple webbrowsers (in tabs ) hosted on the same windows form.
So far, i have tried the following methods (and failed)Created a new form for each session (The WebBrowsers share the session)Used HttpWebRequest,HttpWebResponse to get and set separate sessions for each webbrowser ( Couldn't implement this properly)Could someone please point me out to a proper channel on how to implement this ?
I've thought long and hard on how to do this. Since I'm posting here, you see I haven't figured it out. I've found out how to login to a website with GetElementById, but I have another problem. I need to login with multiple web browsers. But when I login on the second, I can't because the session/cookie is already there. I thought usnig a proxy would work, but that just applies to both web browsers. Using the example below, would it be possible to apply this to only one web browser? Or make separate sessions for each web browser control?

I have a ASP.Net VB.Net application, which I developed an deployed in about 2004. I have just upgraded it to a new server and IIS 6.0. The application requires users to login from IE it and maintains their State using sessions on the server. I would like the users to be able to have multiple browsers open, each running with unique data on their client system. Is this possible, if so, what do I need to do?
View 4 RepliesI am writing an application which needs to allow the user to select and open document files as a new process, edit them, then when they've finished backup the changed files automatically. For example, start a .doc file within Word or a .xls file with Excel What I wanted to do was use process.start to run the application and store the ProcessID returned in an array so that when the process finished, I could check all the files that were using that application for changes.

I have a VB2010 application that must run as multiple instances on the same PC (it is a controlling/monitoring program of several devices, each instance of the program control one device)
Of course, the same application must save its own setting in different place, one for each device. For example, if I start the application for the device 3, I have to save the setting in a place marked as "3", in this way, when I start the application for device 4 it will load the settings for device 4 and not 3.
Of course all labels and similar stuffs must refer the starting device: i.e. the mdi caption must report "device 4", and so on...
In vb6 I created a shortcut with a command line and made my application accepting command line parameters.
In this way I could start the application passing the device number too. For example "myapp.exe 3" start my application for the device 3.
I stored all settings in several INI file, each one for a device: setting1.ini, setting2.ini, setting3.ini, ....
I was wondering if in vb2010 would be a better way to do that.
1. How could I start multiple instances?
2. How could I store the settings?
I have a WinForms app and am trying to add the ability to start up multiple operations based on data entered in a datagridview. The operations must be run synchronously to monitor that they complete succesfully before inserting a row into the DB to indicate that the operation was succesfull. I also have a status event handler on the operation which will return the percentage of the running operation.
So far I am using threads to kick off the operations, however it is updating the progress of just one of the threads. When that thread is complete it is moving on the the next and will work that until completion. I would like them both or more to run simultaneously and be able to report the status of each.
I am basically looping through the rows in the grid and using the values there to instantiate a new class I created. I am then creating a thread and kicking off a sub to perform the operation from the new object. I think I may be close as I know they are all being started, but they are just running one after the other rather than all at once.

I can only open the breakpoint window after closing the source code and then add a new breakpoint.
Then when starting the program and when the program get to the breakpoint it stops and show the code with the arrow representing the next line of code to be executed. Then i should be able to step into the code using F8, but nothing happens.

View 1 RepliesI have a button and various other controls that when clicked, calls as sub. However if the user clicks the button or any of the other controls multiple times, the sub appears to 'stack up'. For example, if I click the button 10 times, and then some of the menu items that trigger it 20 times, the sub would 'stack up' and execute 30 times total. How can I have the sub cancel calls to itself if its called again? I basically only want the latest call to it to count.
Heres code to reproduce it. Just a button on a form.

View 6 Replieshow to PROPERLY make a multi-tabbed or multi-window application that can handle file start requests.
For example, on startup my "Desktop Application" runs and sits there waiting for a task, either through the main menu, or for a file to display in a window. Now the problem is simple, how can I make this already running program load the dropped file (dropped on the executable (!)), instead of starting a new instance.
I understand I will have to check if the process is running, and if so, do some stuff with it. But the problem is passing the message to the active program.
Previously I used text files with paths/arguments in them, but I don't like the idea of the OS/program checking every 500 ms if a file is created in the "load this" folder...
Then I thought of sending a message using "Send Message", for example changing the text in a textbox and handle the "Text Changed" event, but is this reliable? Can any other program interfere with it?
So, basically I need the proper way of doing all of this. For example, Microsoft Visual Studio does this nicely, and no lag whatsoever...
I'm trying to prevent a sub / function from firing multiple times on the same event.My app is for handling inbound phone calls (tapi).The app is supposed to route calls based on the callerid number.
aircode below:
Code:
Private Sub OnNewCall(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As NewCallEventArgs) Handles tapiManager.NewCall
if newcall.callerid = "5551001" then
redirect(newcall)
[code]....
If callA.callerid = "5551001" then redirect(callA)but, once it is redirected to the new extension, do not then grab the call from the new extension and try to redirect again (resulting in infinite loop).I realize I could use an integer as a counter, but the problem is, I might actually get more than 1 call at the same time from the same callerid number. And, all the calls would need to be redirected (once).the calls do have properties like (which are unique identifiers to each call):
Code:
phcall.id and phcall.hashcode
I'm thinking I need to put that unique id into a temp var / array to run a check against to see if it has been redirected, if it has then skip, if it has not then redirect.The app would run 24x7, and I don't want the temp var / array to get too big, and would want to have it clean automatically (up on a timer maybe?)(I'm guessing it would be a dynamically growing array.)
How do I start writing a program that has 6 text boxes. A person would enter a member number if they have one, number of movies rented at $1.80 a piece. A Text box should then display Total Rental Price, and if a member number was entered, a 10% discount is given (the total of the discount shows up in another text box) and after there discount is applied the Amount Due is displayed in yet another Text Box.
My boxes are named:
memberNumberBox
moviesRentedBox
rentalPriceBox = $1.80
totalPriceBox
discountBox
amountDueBox
This is all supposed to happed when the customer clicks on a calculation button named: Button1
This is what I have so far, but I don't even know if this is correct, as I am getting 1 error relating to a name not being declared. Please help and clue me in to where to start!

View 2 RepliesI am currently having a headache on how to solve this problem that i am facing.here is the situation:I have a combobox and a list box on the main form. The combobox will get the data from the ms access database.In the database, i have the details of a person's IC, Name and DOB say for eg on one entry I have D215311523C,SHAWN,13/04/1987
So now, my combobox on form load will show the list of dates in the database to allow the user to search base on the date itself by clicking on the selected date. So when the user clicks on the particular date say 13/04/1987, people in the database whose birthday is 13/04/1987 will be shown on the listbox.Meaning to say if i have 3 entries whose dates are the same 13/04/1987, 3 entries will appear. If there is only two entry, then two results will be shown.

I have written a program in VB 2010 that dumps documentation info into an Excel file. Basically, the Excel file is a log file that keeps track of revisions for design drawings at an engineering firm.
There are approximately 20 people that have access to this program. However, I've run into issues where multiple users may be using the program and trying to send info to the Excel file at the same time. The Excel file is set to read only. My program opens the file with write access, and dumps the info into the appropriate cells, then closes the file. If one person is in the process of using the program, it causes an error with another persons system if they try to use it at the same time.
In some cases, it causes my program to crash, and it leaves the Excel file open on someones system.
Typically, my program would only have the Excel file open for a couple seconds. So, the issues mentioned above are rare, but they do happen.
I'm looking for ideas to prevent this issue from occuring.
I am using Synclock to prevent multiple threads from logging text messages to the same file at the same time, but this doesn't seem to work:I get frequent sharing errors on the logfile, within the synclock block.The Synclock is using the variable holding the filename, because it exists all the time and because it is always the same object, whatever class instance or thread I'm in.[code]Despite using Synclock and a Using block around the code, I keep getting this error in the sw.WriteLine(Msg) line:System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file '(filename)' because it is being used by another process.Should I use some other type of object than a string to synchronize on?I cannot use a user interface object (button or so) because it is a windows service project.It was written and compiled in Visual Studio 2008, but targeting the 2.0 framework because it has to be able to run on some old Win2000 machines.
View 12 RepliesI have a small problem with my application. When the system starts up, the program starts with it, but runs hidden (registry key with paremeter). The program also has a GUI.I want it so that when the user clicks the desktop icon, it does not start a second instance of the executable, but instead reveals the currently running background process. Is that possible?i.e. when the application is started with the "-startup" paremeter, it loads a hidden form2, and closes form1. When the desktop icon is clicked, it loads form1, while form2 remains hidden.
