Use Diagnostics.process.kill In With Devices?

Jan 23, 2010

If I have two apps which I have written with vb 2008 for windows 6 device lets say app1 and app2. App1 is running but then needs to start app2 - then app2 needs to shut down app1 and do some updating of app1 then app2 needs to restart app1 and app2 then needs to be shutdown. I am aware of the systemdiagnostics.process classes. One thing I don't understand is how to shutdown app1 from app2 how would get that processid of app1 due to the fact that you havn't access to getproccessbyname methods.

OSK Process Start/stop - PID.Kill() Fails Because It Says The Process Already Exited

Sep 28, 2010

My app starts an On-Screen Keyboard process like this:

Dim PID as System.Diagnostics.Process
:
PID = Process.Start("C:WindowsSystem32osk.exe")
:

[CODE]...

It seems to work 90% of the time. However, sometimes the PID.Kill() fails because it says the process already exited. At this point the OSK is always still there on screen. Yes, I know my code should be testing to see if the process is still running before trying to kill it, but given that the OSK is still on screen..

System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses?

Jul 18, 2009

I am fairly new to VB.NET (but have vast professional experience with several other languages) and am completely new to these forums (so please don't burn me if I posted in the wrong place). I have run into a rather odd quirk with System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses. I have a sample application (source posted below) that checks all running processes every second for changes (created and destroyed) and tells the user what has changed, if anything, in the last second. The sample runs for anywhere between 29-72 seconds before issuing an array out of bounds error. It appears that the Windows system processes, SearchProtocolHost.exe and SearchFilterHost.exe explicitly, disappear from the list causing my application to throw the aforementioned exception. Specifically the exception I am receiving is as follows:

Unhandled Exception: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.I have noted in comments where the exception is thrown in the code below. If any of you would be willing to try this sample on your PC's or could suggest potential issues with my sample that could cause this problem

My sample code:
Imports System
Imports System.Diagnostics

Working With System.Diagnostics.Process?

Dec 22, 2010

I am tring to build network toolkit for my very computer illiterate techs. What I am trying to accomplish is to embed a command prompt of sorts in a form. I have been sucessful to a point. Here are my main two problems.

1: I cannot read line by line as the output of the process is generated. Rrather I have to wait untill its complete, this is ok for "IPConfig and Maybe "Ping". But for longer diag tests this would take too long and it would look like the app has crashed. So I need to figure out how to redirect the output of the process to my text control.

2: I would like to have the ability to redirect keyboard input to the process. For telnet as an example. I would capture all keyboard commands while my text control has focus and send them to the process and with the problem solved I should be able to establish 2-way IO with the process. Is there a way to do this or am I barking up the wrong tree.

Dynamic System.Diagnostics.Process.Start?

Jul 6, 2009

I'm having a problem. I have researched this for over a week and have not found what I need. I find a lot of great suggestions but none of them work for me.My code and program works 100% if you put a valid program, process or file name in the box but if you don't, it crashes. Also if the program is not registered or in a known path it will crash.

I've tried My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(txtProcessName.Text) and System.IO.File.Exists(txtProcessName.Text)

But every variation I try thinks that none of the files exist.I don't want to hard code any of the paths or file names because I want this to be dynamic. I also want it to be a one file program. I know eventually I will need to get into multiple files but I like basing all my programs on a file that can be copied and pasted to any computer and ran without problems.

NOTE: This is a multi-function program. Not only does it start programs but it also terminates them, looks the process up on the web to see if it's spyware, adware or a valid program and it also is a Task manager.

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start When File Is Not Associated?

Nov 30, 2009

I'm using System.Diagnostics.Process.Start to open a file using a string stored in a SQL datatable. It works absolutely fine as long as there is an application on the local machine associated with the file type. If there isn't an association, what happens is the "Save as" dialog box pops up. What I'd like to happen is to just bring up a message box or some other prompt that tells the user what the problem is, and to contact the helpdesk. Some users will be confused if they see a "Save as" dialog box, I think.

Executing Compiled Jar File From .NET (System.Diagnostics.Process)?

Feb 8, 2011

Trying to integrate the google closure compiler in a batch job of mine and having difficulty getting it to work.Using command prompt I can enter the following command and get my scripts compiled. (The command is a self explanatory example)

java -jar "compiler.jar" --js_output_file="myOutput.min.js" --js="input1.js" --js="input2.js"

I have tried to replicate this using the System.Diagnostics.Process object but thus far have failed.I have tried

Dim command As String = BuildCommand(CompilationScripts, Me._Output)
Dim process As New Process
process.Start("compiler.jar", command)

And I have tried

Dim command As String = BuildCommand(CompilationScripts, Me._Output)
Dim process As New Process
process.StartInfo.Arguments = command

Kill Process And One Child Process?

May 9, 2009

My VB.NET Windows form application includes a BackgroundWorker that calls a command-line batch file in a Systems.Diagnostics.Process object, which in turn calls a Java command. If the user cancels, the program kills the cmd.exe properly via process.kill() (it is ok in this case), but the java.exe child process remains, which makes the program hang. I've researched how to kill a parent and child process. It seems there are complicated ways to do this via WMI or Win32 API. But I'm hoping there is a simpler VB.NET way.

C# - Kill Process Started With System.Diagnostic.Process.Start("FileName")

Oct 2, 2010

I am trying to create an app that will perform actions on specific times (much like the Windows Task Scheduler). I am currently using Process.Start() to lunch the file (or exe) required by the task. I am initiating a process by calling a file (an .mp3) and the process starts WMP (since it is the default application), so far so good. Now I wan't to kill that process. I know that it is normal behavior for the Process.Start(string, string) to return nothing (null in C#) in this case. So I am asking how can i close WMP when I called it through Process.Start(string, string)??

Opening Multiple Instances Of Program When Clicking System.Diagnostics.Process

Mar 28, 2012

I have an windows application (created using visual studio 2005) and it also is using an autocad .api. The user runs Autocad and the user enters various commands that will open forms. One of these forms, contains Windows.Forms.LinkLabels with paths to the autocad drawing files they've attatched (.dwg). When they click on the link, I need the file to open in the existing Autocad they already have open; however, the problem is that it's opening a new instance of Autocad and placing the file into it. How can I make it so it opens in the existing Autocad program already open? [Code]

I want to launch a java executable (let's call it MyApp.jar) from .Net using System.Diagnostics.Process.Start. What's the syntax in VB.Net? The command line syntax is this (if I recall it correctly - because i tried it a few days ago and it worked).

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start Won't Work In Startup When Supplied User Account

Jan 31, 2011

I have a vb.net 2008 application that is supposed to run at startup. After meeting certain conditions, the PC is supposed to restart. Below is the code that is failing:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("shutdown", "-r -t 00 -f", myUsername, myPassword, myDomain)

myUsername and myDomain are both strings while myPassword is a SecureString. The application works properly when execute manually, but give the following error when executed from startup (either by placing in the startup folder or by adding to the registry):

The directory name is invalid

Also, the program executes properly when the last 3 arguments are left out and the user has the necessary rights.

How do I force a restart using an specific, alternate user credentials on startup?

Close Another Exe Without Process.Kill() ?

Mar 11, 2012

I've been doing some research on controlling another exe without Process.Kill() .

The reason why is that I want to have a main controller program that starts and terminates my other exes . I can't use Process.Kill() it just kills my exe without giving it a chance to save data or handle the form closing event . I want to separate my program to multiple exes to prevent a scenario which is if one of the exe hangs , all the other exe hangs .

When the termination event or signal is received , then the exe would do a rollback or handle the closing part to prevent data loss etc .

So far , I've only found some methods of doing that .

1) using TxT files to communicate between exes.
2) Inter-Process Communication (IPC) using name pipes .

Don't Let Console To Kill Process

May 28, 2009

I am developing a large, multi-windowed application. It creates a console using AllocConsole and uses it to dump various information useful for diagnosing and debugging situations with the hardware. The program drives sensitive scientific equipment, and CANNOT be allowed to quit abruptly in midstream. Unfortunately, clicking the close box on the console window does exactly that.

1. Suppress or disable the close box on the console window

2. Trap that event, or

3. Adjust something so that my process does not depend upon its console for its life?
