i am trying to understand how to keep my console app open even after it gathers data and sends it off. I am converting a GUI to the console app. It has a timer that fires the sub every 20 seconds. But it doesnt seem like it works in the console app since after it fires off the sub it closes the app without waiting.

View 5 RepliesI have a VB Windows App created using VS2K10. It produces pdf files from SQL data. The SQL data is refreshed every 10 minutes pulling from a DB2 (ERP) system via a Linked Server by a SQL DTS package being run by SQL Job Agent (SQL 2005). Because of OLEDB and security issues, the data download can only be performed by a specific Windows 2003 server. (It takes from 2-3.5 minutes to download the necessary data.)
Now, if the process of creating and printing the PDF files takes longer than 6 minutes then it's still running while the next data download is starting, the result of which is that several PDF files are created blank or absent any data. I tried to execute the DTS package on demand instead of on a timer, but cannot get past the OLEDB quirks related to our iSeries (IBM server) DB2 database system. The only answer seems to be to have the client application pause at a specific time interval and resume after @ 4 minutes, but I haven't a clue as to how to do that. Before you ask, using ODBC to pull specific data from the DB2 system directly into the client is too slow to be a viable option.
Windows Forms VB Application.. I added a splashScreen to my application. And it was flashing only for a second then going away so I added a sleep timer to my Form Load event... The problem is now the splashScreen stays open even After Application exits, instead of simply closing at the end of the sleeptimer.. The Part of the Form Load event that is causing this is as follows:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000)

View 4 RepliesI am coding in VB.Net, VS 2008. I wrote a console app that consumes 2 web methods from a web site application. I need to enhance this console app so that it launches the web methods continuously, perhaps every x minutes (during business hours), but never before the last invocation has terminated, whose duration may vary, depending on how many accounts there are to process.
Originally, I scheduled the application using Task Scheduler, but I think this doesn't prevent two invocations at the same time.
Although I have seen many posts on using timers, I haven't found exactly what I need.
So far I have:
Dim aTimer As New System.Timers.Timer()
AddHandler aTimer.Elapsed, AddressOf TriggerWebMethods
' Set the Interval to 10 minutes:
[Code]....
When should Timer.Elapsed be used vs. Timer.Tick? What is the difference between Timer.Enabled vs Timer.Start, and should I be selecting just one? I would like the 2nd web method to kick off when the first one is done.
I'm a newbie and trying to develop my first program. The program is a console math quiz application. I want to add a timer to the code that tells the user the the amount of time it took for them to complete the quiz. I have no clue as to how I need to implement this.

I have a .dll file (Interop.ACTMULTILib.dll) that I use to connect to a PLC. This .dll contains a sub called ReadDeviceBlock2(byval devicename as string, byval size as integer, byref data as short). When I call this method in my main it works fine, if I call it from another method that was called by main it works as well.However, it doesn't work when I call it from my Timer_Elapsed sub? I guess this has to do something with threads but I can't figure it out.

View 3 RepliesI have both the VB and C# versions of Visual Studio 2008 Express. When I run a console application in either version, instead of the console opening in an old DOS style command window like it does in VS 2005, it actually blacks out both monitors attached to my computer and treats the entire screen real estate as the console.Anyone know how to get the app to run in a small command-type window when I run it? It's like the console is running Full Screen. If I set a break point, switch from the IDE t the console and then hit Alt+Enter it switches to the small window that I want, but I still can't figure out how to make the app start with the console that way.I could post a screenshot but it would look like a big black square...no window, no frame, just the inky blackness of frustration.

So I have this Windows service created in VB.Net, and all it does is perform a few calls and sits there.I have it installed on a test machine and when I start it manually, it starts up. When I stop manually, shuts down properly (onStop is called).When I start it, and reboot the machine, the service starts like it should, but when I log in, the service isn't running anymore and the onStop never showed up as being executed.I installed the service with admin privileges, so that shouldn't be an issue.Here is what I have:
Sub New()
' This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.

I am making a small bill manager program. I have setup a listview and I am using access db. Things are working great and when I pay a bill it enters in the database perfect, but when it is shown in the listview it shows the date plus the time.

okay this may be a simple answer so I apologize if it is. What I'm trying to do is when button1 is clicked for a text box to display text. Then when that same button is clicked again, that text box will display different text. Then so fourth for about another 4 times. Now I know putting this all together will create one big execution, which I don't want. I just want the application to wait until the button is clicked again to display different text.
