I have created an update program for my project, and I'm thinking what is better - to be GUI, or to be console app? Here's both pros and cons:
GUI: user-friendly,easy, but too much for so little program. It is unnecesseraly.
Console: Simple, but not user-friendly. And easy too!'s super easy!
Is there a way to make an update for your program that the 'user' can update the app without re installing the whole program?
View 1 RepliesI have a procedure at the end of my console application that ask the user to either hit enter to end the program, or type s to perform another search. The issue I'm having is no matter what the user types in the program end. What I would like to happen is if the user types s, then the program starts over and lets the user perform another search. The program is procedural and I need to find a way to start back off at the top of the program which ask the user to type a name to search.

View 1 RepliesI am maintaining some VB.net code and I am more of a C# programmer. I have taken over maintaining several projects from people who have since left the project. The manager tells me that some of the VB.net programs are console applications. Yet in looking through the source code I am not able to distinguish wether the code is for a console application or for some other VB.net program like a VB.net windows application. Can someone tell me if there is a way to determine if a VB.net program is a console application.

The output is the content of testdata.txt, but with three extra characters (hex b4 2b 2b) inserted at the beginning of the output. Those three bytes are not there when I run simplecopy without input redirection.
I have a VB 2008 console application .NET 3.5 who handles large data tables in a SQL 2005/8 database. Sometimes when SQL server do not response as application expect. Then SQL Connection change status from open. I try to get the event of changed connection string before error occurs.
1 - SQL Connection status changes from open to another status
2 - When this event fires a fix sub routine or function starts and fix the sql connection
3 - Return back where SQL Connection was when status was affected by program.
My app is a large list of SQL Commands who runs in a class orginsed as a simple list of sqlcommands.When a SQL Connection fails I will start at the last point in the program after SQL Connection are open again.

View 1 RepliesI was thinking of adding a simple bandwidth monitor to a console application and I was wondering if it would be possible to keep a line in the console window visible at all times. I could set something up manually to pass new console output into a method that would get the contents of the console, clear the console, add the bandwidth data on the first row, then rewrite each line of previous information back to the console, etc.. but that seems like a really hacky way to go about it, and I'd be limited to the amount of rows visible at once in the console window (no scrolling).

This is no problem I've got that all working perfectly, the only problem I have is that the console is showing while the application is running, I was wondering whether anyone knows any way in which I would be able to hide the console before it gets shown to the user.

View 2 RepliesI am trying to send/print/write all possible ASCII codes (0-255) to another console-window application. From my application I would enter the name of the "receiving" application and the comma seperated hex values that should be sent/print/written to it. I have used AppActivate to select the "receiving" application and then have used sendInput and send.sendkeys to attempt to send the desired ASCII value. However, these appear to have limitations on values greater than 127. I need to be able to send all 255 values.
