Running Application Can Know Name Or Other Info Of Desktop-shortcut That Started Application?
Apr 9, 2011
Let's say 10 desktop shortcuts, all with different names/icons, point to and can start the same exe application from the same directory. Is there any means for the application to know the distinct name of the shortcut that was doubled_clicked. Also is there any means for a running application to know if it was started by command line, by a double_click on the exe, by a double_click on a shortcut that points to it, or by another process' call?

I have a project that I've published to a network drive with a setup file that works great but I cannot get it to create a Desktop shortcut. I don't have the option in the publish settings to allow this and I cannot find code that will work for me. Does anyone have any suggestions how to have the setup file automatically create a desktop shortcut? I'm using Visual Studio 2008.

Is there a way to determine if the application is running from an RDP session or not? Our staff has VPN access and use Microsoft's RDP Client to connect to their computers at the office. They mostly interract with software we've written. I'd like to identify those people that use our applications via RDP as opposed to being physically at their computer.

Question: I created an ASP.NET web application. Now it originally was meant for deployment on a webserver.That is working, so, so far so good.My question now is: Is it possible to deploy it as a desktop-application, too? That is to say the installer installs some kind of server, plus the web application, configures the server to run this application on a localhost URL, and then creates a link in the start menu/desktop, where it opens that url (website, the application) on localhost in a web browser?
I think it should be possible, though the server wouldn't be IIS, because this is a windows component which can't be separately installed. Is there anything like this already out there The nonplusultra would be that it only starts the server when you click on the shortcut.

I have an application that is written in VB.NET, using the System.Windows.Forms.Form as the front-end GUI. It runs perfectly on my Windows machine however recently there is a business requirement to convert this application to run as a web application so that people could view them in their blackberries when they go to the URL. Is there any quick way to perform such a conversion or I will have to translate the code line-by-line for such cases?

the system is going to have two front-ends - one web application and one desktop application.The desktop application is going to be coded using VB.NET, and the web application in PHP. There's really no reason why the desktop application can't be replaced by a web application as well - except that one of the programmers seem to really want to code it in VB...However none of us have experience working with either of these pairs .
P.S. hosting service will be gotten from some provider and not be on the client's own server.

Which is the best way to store application and user settings of an application running with multiple instances?My problem is that using the vb's "Application Settings" one instance would overwrite the other one.I want to identify each instance with a number passed via command line argument. I could use this number to identify the appropriate settings of the running instance, but I see in a local INI o XML file a better way to handle that.

I'm having troubles finding a way to retrieve informations about which program started my own application. The situation is this: I have a VB .net application which launch another VB .net application (both made with the .net framework 2.0) using process.start(), the second application need to know which software or process started it, if it was started by another software and not directly by the user, and I can't access to the source code of the first application so there's no way I can send a specific command line to the second application.

web app that has been created using VB.NET, nothing major, just a normal site. His original programmer couldn't continue so he wants me to finish it. Problem is I don't program using VB.NET nor have I any intention of learning it for a project this small. Usually I would run from something like this but I need the cash.Should I take the project and continue it using C# or just leave it. Has anyone had a similar experience and how did it turn out.

I have been investigating this for several hours. I have found numerous links, including several here on SO which claim to show how to find the startup path, or the application directory. All of the solutions suggested return a location:
C:Users<my user name>AppDataLocalApps2.0XO8PWL8B.5HH1GZX7M0H.N1J<temp location>
When my WPF xbap is run from a remote location. I need to determine the actual folder of the remote location. I am deploying this to an internal server ABCDEF, so in order to run this application I am entering:
\ABCDEFmyApp.xbap
I want to programmatically determine the server and folder. My reason for this is that each time you publish a WPF with "automatically increment revision with each publish" turned on. The folder where additional DLL's are located changes, additional programs that this program depends on. I want to be able to dynamically determine the correct folder to look at.
I have tried:
'Dim path As String = Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location
'Dim Path As String = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location)
'System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection. Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.Location)
'application.StartupPath
All of which did not work.These links suggested many of the methods I have tried:
Link1
Link2
Link3
Link4

I have an application that is distributed with click-once. One of my users already makes use of it for quite some time without any problems. Only recently, he is not able to launch the application anymore. During the check that is made to see if there is a new version of the software, he gets the message: "Application cannot be started, contact vendor" If I copy my application manually, he is able to launch it without any problem.I included the detailled log below.
PLATFORM VERSION INFO Windows : 5.1.2600.131072 (Win32NT) Common Language Runtime : 2.0.50727.42 System.Deployment.dll : 2.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200) mscorwks.dll : 2.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200) dfdll.dll : 2.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200) dfshim.dll : 2.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200)

how to use Visual Basic to pass arguments to an application after said application was started. Example, "myapp.exe -d" enables debug mode, I want to be able to start myapp.exe then have a checkbox labeled "Debug mode" in Visual Basic. Upon "Debug Mode" being checked, it passes the argument -d to myapp.exe. Upon it being unchecked, it withdraws that argument from myapp.exe.

I am having trouble getting the path of my application's executable file at runtime. This application is being started by another executable and whenever I try to use Application.ExecutablePath I get the path to that application instead of mine.
[code]...
Neither of these give me the path of the program in which those two lines are exectured, they only tell what program started this program.
