Replacements Are Available For Vbscript In An Application?
Aug 1, 2009
An application I maintain has been around since VB6 days - ported to .Net 1.1, and now being updated/rewritten across to .Net 3.5 The application provides a mechanism to run VBScripts - this was done in a highly integrated way - allowing the program to parse multiple .vbs files and produce a list of all of the subroutines and functions - which were then available within the application alongside core functions.
Previously this was an embedded msscript.ocx - in the first .Net conversion, this was wrapped in Interop.MSScriptControl.dll, however, on Windows 7 this just isn't working. It looks like this is really not the way to be doing this anyway - Microsoft seem to be trying to kill vbscript.
Is there a 'supported' way of using VBScript, or is it time to move on? and if so, where is there to move to that provides the same sort of functionality?
I have been struggling to get vbscript working for last three days of relentless effort. I have windows 7 ultimate and upgraded from windows vista. searched the web for solutions and tried out all the options I think I have, but yet no luck.
I tried registering vbscript.dll and I get a succeeded message back. Everything seems to be fine. but, I just cannot run vbscript on my computer. It complains that "can't find script engine vbscript for script ....". I have a hunch that it is something to do with "microsfot security essentials (my virus protection software)" or with UAC.
I'm developping an ASP.NET application, and I need to use an old VBScript file that would be really hard to translate into pure VB in a VB function.
This VBScript is supposed to return an array that I'd like to use it in the VB function that called it.
How could I call the VBScript function in my VB application and use the value it returned?
I've search how to do so through many forum and FAQ, but it seems that these results where mainly focused on old version of the .NET framework.[code]...
i have vb10 and i maid a form that contains richtextbox and button1 and label1
i want to type something in the richtextbox1
when i press the button1 i want it to take a litter by litter and convert each one to other character or numbers which the modified text will be in label1
the problem is i could change except the last command in the button1
for example :i but this code , which is in button1_click:-
1. In the old VBScript, there was a compareMethod (binary or text, which with text, I could compare case) but I don't find anything like that in the new .Net Replace method. I know I can use the old way, but I'd like to use the new Replace method. I just need a choice of comparing case or not?
2. Let's say I have a long string, and I am using the Replace method - - it would be nice to get the count of instances replaced, and I'm sure that if I read line by line, I could actually get that count, but it would take to long.Is there a way, using the Replace method, to get a count of how many actual replacements were made?
How to call a function in vb.net DLL from VBScript?I did the following: I create public class named Class1 in vb.net.I go to Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt and go to my class dll - C:MyappinDebug and type following command tlbexp myDLL.dll after that i get message Assembly exported to C:MyappinDebugmyDLL.tlb After this I type following command regasm myDLL.dll and i get following message RegAsm : warning RA0000 : No types were registered
how to convert from vbscript to vb.net im trying to convert the TestGenericHid.wsf script to vb.net (wheter partially or fully but im fur sure trying to do the initialization sequences) but usually the development team of a ms sdk posts it in managed code like c# or vb.net. If someone has already converted this please post but i have attemped myself to do this already but cant get any straight responses from vb.net interop guys or wdk guys so here is the full code sample:url..Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth. - "Sherlock holmes" "speak softly and carry a big stick" - theodore roosevelt.
I wish to convert the vbscript below to vb.net. Note: the functions from the script are also in a dll file but you can install the dsf runtime which comes with the windows ddk and just use the com component it installs from vb.net.
Just need help converting this .bat to vbscript. cd

Just need it to go to each user names directory when logging into a terminal server and removing all items in there respective folder. I'm assuming to user the UserString where the "user.name" is but not sure how to do this.
How come the Script below keeps displaying the Else message until it finds the string? I was expecting for it to display 1 single Box whether it was found or not? why does it keep itterating through the Else condition?
Dim myArray,myString,myString2,intCount myString = "my;string;question;hope;you;can;answer" myString2 = "question"
The VB application I am creating runs a external vbscript. The vbscript is run using cscript.exe so the output text from the script is in the CLI. I need this outputted text to be in a ListBox is my application
I have a DetailsView that I am using to insert an enrollment form into the database. Currently every functions fine, with one exception. Since there is a terms and agreement checkbox at the bottom of the form that I cannot validate using the existing validation controls, I'm trying to handle this in the VBScript.The problem is that the InsertCommand in my ASP executes before the Button_Click sub does, so the form is submitted before the checkbox validates. Can someone tell me how to move the InsertCommand from the ASP to the code file so that I can make sure it doesn't execute until AFTER my button validation? Here is my code:
I have this snippet of VB.NET code that I want to convert to VBScript. It basically starts Microsoft Word, displays the Open dialog and mail merges the selected document.
Dim oMissing As Object = System.Reflection.Missing.Value Dim oEndOfDoc As Object = "\endofdoc" Dim oFalse As Object = False 'Start Word and create a new document. Dim oWord As Word._Application Dim oDoc As Word._Document
I have a process by which I push icons to distant Vista based PCs on our domain...it's all automated. One of these itemsis a shortcut (call it MYLINK.LNK) which I put in the user's Start Menu. That shortcut calls a .WSF script that, in turn, runs a JScriptfollowed by a VBScript.The JScript installs a commercial product and the VBScript is used to clean up after itself. One of those 'clean up' jobs is to delete the icon that kicked off this entire thing.
So I have : Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") objFSO.DeleteFile("C: empstartload.wsf")

Right now I just want to be able to read (Echo out) the Value of "VALUE" in an XML element node, and eventually modify it. This will be run with the Windows Scripting Host from a Windows command line. Here is the line of XML I want to read from:
I have a web site that includes code to move data between databases, generate Office documents, etc. I also have a need to duplicate some of this work in batch. Where they overlap, I've had to code things two different ways -- one for the web site (using server-side vb.net) and one for batch (using vbscript). I know you can run batch from vb.net. I'd like to do the opposite -- from batch I'd like to access some code that I've already written using vb.net classes, web.config, and Office interop assemblies. I tried some of this in PowerShell, but it took 45 minutes to generate a report that runs in 20 seconds through the web interface.
I took the dive into learning VBScript due to some server side scripts that I work with. During a course I ran into Powershell and did some Google searching. From what I was reading, VBScript is good for legacy applications and Powershell is the way to go for Win7. I did not run into anything telling me of this being true or if its a false statement and VBScript will be used for Win7 and Win8. Should I look into learning Powershell and abort my VBScript for now and just worry about VBScript for legacy systems?
I'm trying to send an email via a VBScript. When I run this script via a field SQL db field VBscript trigger, nothing happens. Here is my code -
Imports System Imports System.Math Imports System.Web.Mail Public Class BLGHEmail
[code]....
Now, if I comment out all the statements after the Try statement, my message box appears as I coded it which means I am able to test if Sample1 = 'OK'. Even with the System.exception I am not able to display any error message. I am also pretty certain that I have the correct smtp server name. One other thing, we are using Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange if that means anything. And also, pls note that this is a purchased system that I am working with and they have scripts with extension name of ".lvb". This is actually a trigger script based on a specific field value. The trigger script runs and as I had mentioned will display the message box if I were to comment out the statements after the TRY statement.
What I am wanting to do is create an application that has the ability to create a VBScript that the user can create in a my form that would have the intelisense included. Is this posible? you know something like adding VBA to my app in a way. Is this at all possible?
lI think I almost have this done but I get and error "'Public ReadOnly Property Right As Integer' has no parameters and its return type cannot be indexed."here is the line causing the error:

I have a website that was written in VBSCRIPT that I am moving over to VB.NET. Until I have time to get to rewriting some pages/applications,I would like to update some of the code so they work a bit better.I am trying to grab a server variable on the VBSCRIPT page that contains our username from the enterprise login.I have 2 test pages here, one with language="VB" at the top and the other language="VBSCRIPT".
The VBSCRIPT page will list variables with no data when they have data on the VB page and in ALL_HTTP. Is there any way I can get VBSCRIPT to gather the correct info for all the server variables?
EDIT: These are the variables that vary between VB and VBS AUTH_USER, REMOTE_USER - logged in user on VBS, iis_anon on VB REMOTE_PORT - not listed in VBS
The following are listed in VBS, but have no data HTTP_SERVER_PROTOCOL HTTP_SM_TRANSACTIONID[code].....
Also there is a custom on I wish to get that is used for our enterprise authentication.
