I'm using VB.net to have a GUI on top of a commandline program.
[code]...
Which works and prints out all output from the commandline program. However at some point the commandline program ask for user interaction, eg: Type a number (1/2/3/4):But the commandline program stops after this. I suspect this is because it doesn't receive a valid option.Is there a way to capture when the commandline program wants user interaction and hold the reading of the stream to be able to enable the user to input something?
This is the command line I want to use inside my VB.NET program. Look for the running process "mpc-hc.exe" and get the commandline of the running processwmic process where name='mpc-hc.exe' get CommandLineI want to retrieve the output from that command into a string. I know that it could be done natively in a VB.NET program and I have looked at how it was done. However, I cannot get the code to perform what it did in the commandline I have above.
I have been making a downloader in vb.net everything is working fine Appart from the downloading, it takes around 10 seconds for the download to start Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?The download is being done in a thread and before when I have tried to download outside of a thread the program dosnt respond for those 10 seconds
i am trying to write a little program that checks for a process and kills is.here is the
Dim p As Process = Process.GetProcessesByName("Cheat Engine")(0) p.CloseMainWindow()[code]...
My problem is it�s woking ,yes if the programm ,,Cheat Engine" is running the process is getting killed.But if the program is not running my program crashes.
I have a program that starts another program after setting the regkeys basically the program continually syncs the calandar of outlook and another application.I set the regkeys than launch the c:sync.exe app. I have tried a simple process.start and launching the process as a thread and they both do the same thing: The other process starts and works as it should but my main program goes "White screen" or "not responding" until the process.start has exited.
I want the process.start to run in the background so if users click in my main app it responds and truly that they can access the context menu of my main app from the taskbar while the process.start is running.
When debugging my app it works fine i.e. It gets the two commandline args, through a loop, and execute as expected. However, once I publish it, the app only picks up the first argument, which is the .exe file string. Code below:
Public Sub Main() Dim args() As String = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs() Dim n As integer = args.Length
Okay so what I am trying to do is create a textbox that I can use as an equivilent to the run command.So In textbox I can type CMD/batch scripts and have it sent as normal.
For unit tests I would like to mimic different commandline arguments. How do I modify the commandLine args to my program at runtime (looked around but can't find the trick)? Basically I am trying to find a way to modify the contents of the READONLY property Environment.CommandLine.
I am attempting to make a VB commandline application, I did originally write this as a form application. Our server administrator wants this as a commandline application, so I have done the following code:
Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop Module Module1 Sub Main()
I want to exit my GUI application (vb.net 4) using a commandline parameter.I should send thive! from the commandline:
myapplication.exe quit and an already running instance of the application should exit.
Now, I have a mutex detection in place so that I can only have one instance of the application running at a time. It seems that if I send a commandline, it won't work on an already running application; it will only work on one that is launching.
I am trying to automate VC++ build via an addIn written using VB.NEt so that we can schedule it using a simple batch file. This addin performs some custom pre-requisites before the build is started. The build is invoked as devenv.com /useenv %NEWSOLFILE% /CLEAN %BUILDCONFIG% /OUT %OUTLOGFILE% > nul
with appropriate filename substitutions. I am facing problem in the following entry-point:-
I've been working on a project that converts several file formats to a PDF in VB.NET/C#. The specific files are DOC, TXT, JPG, TIFF, HTML.
Actually I already have a solution for DOC/TXT to PDF using Bullzip PDF Printer by sending the files to the PDF Printer using VB.NET. However, each time it converts a file, MS Word opens and then closes once the file is sent to the printer. It really slows down the process.
As for TIFF to PDF, I haven't found a solution for it at this time.
I require SDKs or Commandline tools and not PDF convertion applications, since I need to integrate this function in my program. I prefer free or open source SDKs but commercial ones are accepted as well.
I have an application that has file extensions associated with it. The application has been deployed using ClickOnce. I have checked the associations table to confirm the entry is there and the association is to the 'ClickOnce Application Deployment Support Library'. When the application is triggered using a file with my extension, it does not pass the filename / directory in the CommandLine Arguments, instead you get the executable path of the application.
Which is under ..LocalSettingsApp"Random Strings"MyApp.exe
I have checked the Registry entry to confirm what the extension is set to open with and the application is dfshim.dll. Is there a way to overcome this, or is this just another limitation of ClickOnce deployment?
I'm looking for a simple way to split the path to the application and the optional argument.Sometimes the string contains quotes around the path (1&2) and sometimes, even when the path contains spaces, the string does not contain quotes(3). And sometimes the string does not contain spaces in the path (4&5&6), but a space is used before the argument(4). And (6) is a executable without a path. I have to use the environmentvariables the find the fullpath of the executable. This string (6) can also have arguments.Is there a standard function available to do this split?
Note:I have a regex pattern to handle (1,2,4,5,6), but is doesn't work for (3), because of the spaces in the path."[ ]+(?=(?:[^""]*""[^""]*"")*(?![^""]*""))"I cannot control the strings. Some of them come from user input and some of them come from the registry.
I am developing an application that will run with a GUI when no commandline args are passed, but can also run invisibly if started from the commandline and passed necessary arguments. I have been asked to include a /version argument that will return a version number. For simplicity this version number can be stored in a variable. Without doing something like writing the version number out to a file, what is the best way for me to return this info to the caller? My app will almost always be started from a script, so the script will have to read the version number and make decisons based on the version.
I mainly just build little apps that are mainly useful to me. So please be gentle.
I am currently working on a program that will paste text into a second program. The text will paste into several different fields automatically.
The problem I am running into is that I need my program to check for running processes(as the second app will already be running). I seem to have done this just fine. When I then need to "use" that process
I use myprocess.start()
This of course starts a second instance of the application in question.
How do I basically use a process that is running as if I used the command .start()?
I once heard about a software that could dynamically run dotnet instructions (C#, if I remember well) on its command line, e.g when entering 1==1, the output would be true.I don't remember the name of this soft, and sometimes one just wants to know the result of a given instruction, without having to create a new program, compiling it and run it...
I would happily take the challenge to make a soft like this on my own later, but for now on I'd just like to find this soft.Does anyone know its name, or another app which would achieve the same result? (Don't tell me PowerShell, I'm searching for something more handy.
EDIT For those who use Visual Studio and who didn't know (I just learnt about it), you can also use the Immediate Window. It even allows you to get intellisense in some cases.
we currently use our own 3rd party customer management system that is cloud-based. They offer pretty good reports; however, we need special reports and the only way to do this is to download our database though web services that the vendor offers. I have some education and experience with programming, but it has been a while. Instead of having to actively engage the webservices directly, our vendor has offered a stepping stone. They have a command line exe that interacts with the webservices and, with the use of different parameters, gets us to the point of having all the data downloaded in xml, csv, or screen printed - the only problem is that it will only do this a table at a time and there are 43 tables I need to interact with. I need to build something that can either be a console application or something that can be run automatically in the middle of the night when there is no load on the server.
Here is what I need to happen:
The command is CMSDownload.exe. It needs to login (again, there are already parameters set up to do this so I can hard code that into the script) Once logged in, the script needs to check a parameter that has been saved that signifies the last date of successful completion. (Obviously, it needs somewhere in the code to place this parameter also). As I mentioned before, each table needs to be downloaded into its own xml file individually. For instance, the following is one example of a table being downloaded in this fashion:
Generate an XML file of all of the data in the accounts table between '01/15/2009 09:13:34 AM' and 01/16/2009.CMSDownload -d somedn -u someusername -p somepassword -f c: empaccounts.xml -m xml -o all -t accounts -s 'start date' -e 'end date' -d is a login component (credentials) -u is a login component (username)
I am trying to use the Command Line Arguments during the Form_Load event to load the file a user might have selected in windows explorer.
I have set some file associations during setup, so that any ".script" files will be associated with my application. However, my application can also open other (text based) files (it's a text editor), and I would like the user to be able to use "Open With..." and select my application to open the files in my application directly.
I have to use the Command line arguments for this, which will hold the filename(s) of the selected files, correct?
So I did this:
vb.net For Each arg As String In Environment.GetCommandLineArgs() If IO.File.Exists(arg) Then OpenFile(arg) End If Next
Now, when I open a ".script" file, my application opens and the correct file is loaded. However, in addition, the EXE file is also loaded for some reason! It has opened two files, <Applicationname>.EXE and the file I wanted to open. Because the EXE file is obviously not just a text file, it just displays some random characters, but I don't want it to open that of course...
Also, if I run the application in the debugger (visual studio), it opens the <ApplicationName>.vshost.exe file... So I thought, I can check for the extension of the argument, and only open it if it is a ".script" file. BUT I don't want that! I also want the user to be able to select any file and choose Open With... and select my application. That won't work if I check for the file extension...
I have written a windows service that is meant to launch a notepad when a specific action happens. The problem i have is that even though the service launches notepad, the actual notepad it self is NOT visible. I know that it has been launced because i can see the process in the task manager. By the way the process is listed as a SYSTEM process rather than a process under my user name (i believe that is because my process is a "LocalSystem" one).
I am trying to launch a program using System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:Program FilesFrets on FireFretsOnFire.exe") but the program always fails - the program generates an error log - so its obviously trying to start - ive included the log text but i doubt it will be useful.
Traceback (most recent call last): File "FretsOnFire.py", line 45, in <module> File "GameEngine.pyo", line 23, in <module>
Yet it runs fine when double clicked? why i can launch it from explorer but not from my code
What is the proper way to use the Enter Key? I've triyed difrent things, now I can't get the Enter Key to respond at all, only a beep is what I get.[url]...
Objects whose Properties are observed for changes must implement the System.ComponentModel.INotifyPropertyChanged event to alert their WPF-element observers that a change has occurred.
If I have a Visual Basic Module whose Properties I wish to have observed by a WPF element, how should I go about routing the Properties of that Module through to the WPF, considering that Modules cannot, themselves, implement Interfaces?
EDIT: Modules are Static classes, for you C# readers, IIRC.
I have a datagrid and I want to delete selected row from that grid. It is working fine upto this. but I want to add some advance functioning with msgbox YES-No buttons. If user select some row and click on delete button, A msgbox with YES/No options appears. If user clicks YES, row should be deleted but if No is clicked then that row should not be deleted.
Below is the code:
view source print? Private Sub btnDeleteSitting_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnDeleteSitting.Click MsgBox("Are you sure to DELETE?", MsgBoxStyle.Critical + MsgBoxStyle.YesNo, "WARNING")

The idea with System.IntPtr is to represent an integer whose width in bits correspond to the size of a pointer in the hardware and operating system that the CLR is running in, it's platform specific in other words. It supports 32-bit and 64-bit architectures only.This is a legacy from old-style C API's where pointers and ints were frequently treated as interchangeable. The Win32 API has many such parameters, where the width varies with the underlying architecture thus the mess with porting of code from 32-bit to 64-bit (we already did this once when going from 16-bit to 32-bit, funny how we never learn...).In practice, as is mentioned in other responses, it can be used to hold unmanaged resource handles and pointers etc that stem from the underlying Win32 functions. It can also be used to hold integers of the natural size for current platform. You can also use IntPtr.Size to dtermine the size of a pointer on the current platform.SO when you explain this to a child ;) this would be used to let program's flow at the same speed at diffrent kinds of operating systems?
