I am trying to pass arguments to my wintv.exe program using the process.start command but I am getting errors...Here is one example that starts Wintv but the program does not begin to record and Wintv throws up a bunch of errors and quits.
Code:
Process.Start("c:progra~1wintvWinTV.EXE", " -c1 -ntod -startr:WinTV_(0).mpg -qdef -limit:3600 -mute")

I can connect when I go into command prompt manually and type: rasdial one username password
This will work. It will dial and connect.
Now when I try doing this programmatically it will not work. It doesn't seem to be passing the arguments I've specified:

I'm running some command line programs through my app and I have to pass some parameters to the command line app.I'm launching the command line with Start.Process and using StartInfo.Arguments = "".The problem is that some of the parameters require me to pass quotes and when I put quotes into the compiler, it doesn't register it in the way I want it to.

I have an application that I start from a sub main. Pass it some arguments and then open a form. Very similar to the log in form. Inside of this application I use 2 dll's. One I had written and another from a vendor. When I run my app from the IDE everything closes down ok. When I run my application from another application(similar to the command line start) the image of the log in box stays on the screen, until I move another window that does a screen redraw.
The process is stopped, by looking at the running process's on the computer. My next question, the dll that I wrote for it is a vb.net class(dll)... I do not have a destructor in it.. I just left the Protected Overrides Sub Finalize() alone which contains MyBase.Finalize() With my dll, could that be causing the window to keep itself drawn? Due to the two dll's connecting to device only within our network. Not sure if remote desktop or citrix causes a screen redraw.
I could pass a User Defined Type data structure to a Fortran DLL, that contained Short Integers, Singles (real variables) and a series of Fixed Arrays, both short integers and real variables.I am upgrading my VB6 app to Visual Studio 2008 - VB, and I want to keep the same data structures as they are used in about 300,000 lines of code.I modified the Data Structure as follows below, making sure it is of Explicit Layout, since I want the position of all variables to be the same both in VS 2008 and Fortran.Two problems arise:
1) if the LayoutKind is Explicit, such as in the example below (only part of the data structue is shown, where "..." indicate part of omitted data structure members), whenever I try to run my app, I get the following exception message, which indicates that the VBFixedArray declared at Offset 154 is in conflict with some other object, unnamed by the exception handler.
Message="Could not load type 'MyApp.SomeStruct' from assembly 'MyApp, Version=1.32.3906.33480, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' because it contains an object field at offset 154 that is incorrectly aligned or overlapped by a non-object field."
Source="MyApp"
TypeName="MyApp.SomeStruct"
StackTrace:[code]....
2) if the LayoutKind is Sequential, the app will start, all the data preceding the VBFixedArrays is passed to the Fortran Dll without problem; everything that follows the VBFixedArray is garbled and unusable. To check this, I have made a Fortran subroutine in the Dll to which I pass both the Data Structure and a vector; in the Fortran subroutine, all the elements of the data structure are equivalenced to individual positions in the vector; upon return from the Fortran subroutine, I compare the elements of the data structure and those of the vector.
The problem here is that the Data Structure contains some 1300 names, and is used extensively in the application, as it is the way to pass elegantly a lot of data pertaining to a mathematical model with only one adress when accessing the Fortran Dll, in which the computing engine lies.

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to use a string variable in StartInfo.Arguments of a process, but can't figure out the correct syntax.
[code]...
I have a procedure (parent process) that starts several processes (child processes). The child processes calculate several array variables. How can I pass those arrays to the parent process? At the moment, the child processes write the arrays to a streambuilder and the parent process reads the stream. Is there a better way to do it? Is it possible to have the child processes write to RAM memory and have the parent process read from there? It is like declaring a global variable in the parent process and give the child processes access to it.
View 4 RepliesI'm using Process.Start to start an external command line application and using the StartInfo.Arguments method to send parameters to the application. I imagine I'll need to use a loop... but I can't figure out exactly how yet.I need to send anywhere from 1 - an infinite number of files names to this application. Each file has to be sent one after the other. So once the first one is done, I need to loop back around and past the second one.I can probably use the Directory.GetFiles method to get all of the files, but I don't know how to assign them.

I have an application (application #1) running with Administrator privileges on Windows 7.
I want application # 1 to start another application (application #2) without Administrator privileges so application #2 is running as a standard user.
Is there a way to do this? I have been using Process.Start.

I've commented out various things to limit it to specifically this command (example, I can swap mklink out with notepad and it works fine). The command runs fine from a DOS window, but can't be found when I use it this way. I also tried using the SHELL command just to test and I get the same results. No idea why it can't be found, as like I said it executes from the command prompt just fine.

I have a single instance database app that emails out notifications. I would like to add a link in the emails that when clicked would open up the app and go to the section of the program that its supposed to go to. I implemented my own URL protocol so that links starting with my codewords get passed to my EXE. So far so good. I then parse the URL and pull the keyword and identifier out to open that section of the program. So if a user clicks a link like this:
MyApp:LoadCompany?ID=323
My application will start, it will grab the arguments (LoadCompany?ID=323), pass this to my load company routine and then load up company ID 323. Works great.
Now the issue is if the program is already open I still want the links to work but since it's a single instance app it just closes the second app. How can I add something ot the app to watch for this or receive a message from the second app? I know I will need to check status of what I'm doing and make sure things are saved, check security, etc but I can get all that done easily enough. I've found some examples online but none really did what I wanted them to.
My app starts an On-Screen Keyboard process like this:
Dim PID as System.Diagnostics.Process

PID = Process.Start("C:WindowsSystem32osk.exe")

It seems to work 90% of the time. However, sometimes the PID.Kill() fails because it says the process already exited. At this point the OSK is always still there on screen. Yes, I know my code should be testing to see if the process is still running before trying to kill it, but given that the OSK is still on screen..
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.
Trying to create a button that when clicked will check to see if a certain process image is running and if that process is running give the process focus. If the process is not running then start the application.

process.start("file.exe")
i use System.Diagnostics.Process.Start to run a process
example :
Dim p As New System.Diagnostics.Process
p = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("D:ProjectApplication.exe")
it works perfectly during run time. but after i deploy to server.... this code did nothing, it did not call out this process
