Roll Through Dynamic Variables On A Single Commandline Exe Programmatically?

Sep 7, 2010

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)

Optr = +
MyResult(var1, var2, Optr)
And MyResult should equal 40. How can I do this?

Dynamic Variables In Linq Select Statement?

Nov 23, 2009

I have a listbox that is dynamically filled by certain values depending on what table has been selected from another list box. Once a value is selected, it is being graphed vs a date & time range. With my ignorance of linq: depending on what value is selected, the linq to sql statement I need to create to grab data from my database is different as I can't use an index on an anonymous type.

result = From t In db.APS _
Where t.DateTime >= startDate And _
t.DateTime <= finishDate And t.Weight = weight _
Select t.DateTime, t.TotalConcentration

t.TotalConcentration should be selected if my listbox value is "Total Concentration", but if it's something else, like "Temperature" or "Flow Rate" (connected to appropreate database columns) - this method obviously isn't going to work. I need to be able to dynamically select a specific column from the anonymous type list, or use some other method I'm unaware of to do this.

Dynamic Variables And Picture Box / Public Member 'image' On Type 'String' Not Found?

Jun 6, 2011

I am currently making a server monitoring application that pings the server to check its uplink, so far it creates all the picture boxes and labels for each server, and then pings the server, although I have a picture that I want to change dependant on the result.

Below is the code I am currently using, the problem occurs with the objectname variable which allows dynamic coding, where i get a error, saying that "Public member 'image' on type 'String' not found".

Private Sub Ping()
Dim i As Integer
Dim objectName As System.Object
For i = 1 To count - 1

Process - Respond To Commandline Program ?

Jun 16, 2011

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?

How To Send A Command To A Running Application Via Commandline

Nov 10, 2011

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.

.net - SDKs Or Commandline Tools To Convert DOC And TIFF To PDF?

Jan 13, 2011

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.

CommandLine Arguments - Executable Path Of Application

Jan 27, 2010

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?

Split Commandline Application Path From Arguments?

Dec 26, 2005

I have commandline strings that contains application paths and might contain arguments. Some examples:

1. "C:Program FilesMicrosoft Officewinword.exe" "C:some dirdocumentname.doc"2. "C:Program FilesSome Dirapp.exe" /dosomething3. C:Program FilesSome Dirsomefile.exe4. C:somedirsomefile.exe /whatever5. C:Windows
otepad.exe6. someapp.exe

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.

Start App From Commandline And Return Version Info?

Jan 23, 2012

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.

C# - Software (or CommandLine) That Dynamically Runs Dotnet Code?

May 4, 2012

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.

VS 2008 Using The CommandLine Arguments Properly To Open A File

May 5, 2009

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...
