Use The Command-line Sxstrace.exe Tool For More Detail"?
Sep 2, 2011
I have a problem with vbc, which is located at C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv4.0.30319vbc.exe If I run it, I get the error"The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail"But when I run it on my laptop, it works fine.The error also comes up where I originally experienced it, doing a asp.net project with vb.
Is there something wrong with my installation of VS 2008? I'm trying to write a command line tool that uses WebClient. I cant seem to use UrlEncode as a known method.
I have beginner skills using VB (am using the Express edition to learn). I would like to know how to set up a conditional statement in a Windows Form (WF) app that would check if a specific command line has been passed by another separate app that launchesthe Windows Form app using command lines, and if not passed, then the Windows Form app would shut down (exit, close).So far, I can use:
For Each s As String In My.Application.CommandLineArgs If s <> "xyz" Then Me.Close()
Any right way of selecting data and updating? This code is working, but i wonder if there is a way to have only one update command which will update all tables?
Private cs As New SqlConnection("Data Source=...") Private da As New SqlDataAdapter("Select * FROM tblContactsProfil ORDER BY LastName", cs) Private daLookUp As New SqlDataAdapter("Select * FROM tblContactsProfilAddress", cs) Private ds As New DataSet Private bsMaster As New BindingSource [Code] .....
First let me say that I am not sure whether or not this should go in this section or the API section, and if it needs to be moved I apologize. My issue is fairly straight forward, but for some reason I cannot get it to work.
I am trying to send a command to a command line and then submit the command. I have been trying without success to get this to work in v2008 Express and v2010 Express, Here is the code I am trying to us:
Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" ( _ ByVal lpClassName As String, _ ByVal lpWindowName As String _
I am using a CheckedListBox that is populated with Filenames (full path, i.e. C:TestTest.jpg)When I have the files that I want in the CheckedListBox I wish to click a Start Button which will process the list one at a time using an exe program that runs on the Command Line. There are arguments that need to pass to the command line as well as the file location in order for the program to process.I currently have it working but the issue is the loop finishes quickly and it is left up to the CMD.exe to finish the process. What I would like is for the LOOP to wait until each file completes processing before passing the command for the next file in the CheckedListBox.There some reasons I wish for it to work this way.
1) I would like to have a button that can Pause/Restart the Loop.
2) I would like to have a button that can Stop the Loop so the whole process can end.
3) I would like to have the Loop remove each file one by one from the CheckedListBox after it has been processed.
4) I would like to display a Message once all the files have been processed.
5) And if it were possible I would like to report the status either by text or a progress bar showing where it is at in the process.
6) And the ability to add some error handling if possible.
Since the Loop finishes so quickly as it just passes the command to the command line using the & as a seperator it is the command line that is handling the rest of the process. Because of this there is not control over it in the GUI.The code I am using allows the Command Line text to display in the Form so it won't open up a seperate window to run CMD.exe. This is the desired affect as I would like everything to appear to run from within the Form itself.
I use a simple master-detail form using Visual basic 2005 express edition and ms sql server 2005 express edition, as well.
The master table is dept (deptno int, dname nvarchar(50)) .
The deail table is emp (empno int, deptno int, ename nvarchar(50)).
The primary key for the dept table is deptno and for the emp table is empno.
There is also a foreign key (deptno on emp table).
I created a new project, connected to a db (called test.mdf) and created a data source consisting the two of the above reffered tables.
I dragged and dropped these tables on the form and i noticed the following:
1)When the form opens... the system queries the database and displays the data on each block on the form.
2)I insert and/or update a record on the master table (dept) and everything goes well...
3)I try to insert and/or update a record on the detail table (emp) and nothing is changed on the detail table - without any error.
4)When i try to insert and/or update a record on the detail table (emp) which violates the primary key constraint or foreign key the system complaints...(as expected).
I have made several posts on here lately regarding master/detail or parent/child data setups but no one has been able to help. It seems like a subject people don't like to tackle BUT I really need help.
I'm having a real hard with the DataView.RowFilter functionality and it is driving me insane.
For the most part, I have the basic master/detail functionality working. When you select a record in the first grid, it shows the correct data in the second grid. When you enter a record in the first grid, you can enter related data in the second grid. I accomplish this by using a dataview and row filter bound to the 2nd grid. When you change the record in the first grid, the rowfilter for the 2nd grid is restated and reapplied.
The problem arises when I overwrite the primary field value in the first grid and the detail records become orphaned. You would think all I have to do is change the ID in the 2nd grid to match the new ID in the 1st grid but this is where I am having problems. I wrote a loop to change the ID of each record currently loaded in the 2nd grid to match the newly changed ID in the first grid. The code is here:
Code: Dim I As Integer
For I = AuthorizationGroupsDGV.Rows.Count - 2 To 0 Step -1 AuthorizationGroupsDGV.Rows(I).Cells(0).Value = StrEmployeeID Next
I have used this code before and it works great. It has to step backwards through the grid because when the ID's are changed, they no longer match the RowFilter criteria and they disappear from the grid. They still exist in the dataset. The problem is, while the code "works" the intended effect does not. Some of the records completely disappear from the dataset and do not reload when I restate the row filter against the new ID number.
There are a lot of master/detail databinding examples with detail form on the same window than the master, I can't find any example where detail is in a new window.
I am struggling to pass a parameter to a VB.NET application via a Windows scheduled task. It works perfectly in Visual Studio (passing a command line arguement via project properties).If I am calling a VB6 application, then I will supply the following parameters and it works:
Run: c:progra~1TestTest.exe TestParameter Start In: c:progra~1Test However, if I supply the same parameters in VB.NET, the program throws an exception when it tries to create an instance of a class in the Form.Load: System.NullReferenceException cannot create instance of object.
I have also tried the following:Run: c:program filesTestTest.exe TestParameter Start In: "c:program filesTest" This time the status of the scheduled task changes to "cannot start".What is the correct way to specify command line parameters in a scheduled task for a VB.NET program?UPDATE I found the solution on this web page:[URL}.. I am still confused as to why the program would not create an instance of an object when I used the 8 bit paths (i.e. progra~1)
Are there any tools available for automatically formatting vb.net code - specifically for adding line breaks at a predefined line length? I'm working with a lot of code with long lines (thousands of lines), and manually reformatting it is quite time consuming. I've seen a number of tools for rearranging code into regions etc., but haven't found any that reformat with line breaks.
I have a dataset containing 2 tables,Customers and Contacts. Just showing the master-detail is not a problem. Problem occurs when I try to search the master table to bring in the detail table. Searching the master table shows only the master record, but not the related detail records. Adding a 'findby' query on the detail table only shows the records.url.. Normally when the master table is filled, the detail record shows in a form.
I want to run the following command line program from VB.NET: rotor95.exe -d -k "password" -i "C:FileLocation" -o "C:FileLocation" The reason for this is that I don't want my users to have to drop out to a command line prompt in order to run a tiny program for 3 seconds. Typing in a 50 - 75 character file path twice isn't any fun either.
I tried using tooltask as discussed in the MSDN2 help but it appears to work with switches (/d etc.) but not parameters (-k "password"). I couldn't get the thing to work. See the following for the tooltask example:[URL]..light now I'm just using Shell("rotor95.exe -d -k "password" -i "C:FileLocation" -o "C:FileLocation") which works just fine but I'd like to use the .NET 2.0 super-whammy version of handling this problem if there is a better way to do it.
how to use basic FTP functions straight from the command line tool. and I started using Visual Studio to create "macros" for the command line tool (i.e. writing down specific functions to perform, write them to a txt file and then run Shell() to execute.)But what I want to know is if I can open a command prompt window and then interact with it. Say for example I'm writing an FTP class/object, I'd want to be able to keep a window up for my program to send commands to (And wishfully read data back from it.)Because it seems to me that whenever I use the Shell() command it just opens a prompt window and then closes it after my line of code has been executed. Is there way to interact with a command line window from Visual Studio? And maybe even scrape data from the terminal like with terminal emulator scripts?
I have a console application which reads .txt files. I want to be able to drag a txt file over my app and it would automatically open my app and show the text files contents. I think I have to use command line arguments like this:
Sub Main(ByVal cmdArgs() As String) End Sub Sub ReadFile(FilePath as String) End Sub
But how can I pass the text files path to my ReadFile sub?
OK! I've written my application in all it's GUI glory. I now just want to be able to run it from dos/a command line/batch, with no GUI appearing? So it just runs (& does its batch process).
How can I detect if my application has been initiated from command line/dos?
How do I then not open up the application and show its GUI etc?

I was wondering if it's possible to create a .vb source file from notepad and be able to build/compile from the command line without the need of a vb environment?
I have a forms app that contains a few forms. My task is to make it run invisibly when called from the command line with arguments.I have defined a Sub Main in a module and made it the startup item. I have an if/then/else that looks at args.length and if it equals 0 then I load the form and run the app normally. But how do I handle things when args are passed? I still need access to all the functions defined in my main form. Can I load the form invisibly and still "use" it?
When you open up a .txt file, the command line opens up notepad.exe with the argument %1. which opens the text file. i dont know about the function but i understand a little bit about it.
So what i wanted to do was create a .lxproj, and make it open up with my application. i have done this part so far with an installer that creates registry keys. but, what i would like to know is how to open the file. for a test i would like a message box to be displayed if the program is run by clicking the .lxproj. if its opened normally the messagebox doesnt display.
I am making a console application that will be prompted from a cmd. I want to be able inside my application to start an other program. Here is the line I am trying to use: %SystemRoot%Microsoft.NETFrameworkv4.0.30319MSbuild.exe /p:Configuration=Release test.shfproj This is making Sandcastle Help File Builder create a documentation with the test.shfproj i've builded previewsly.
I'm making a program that has to execute commands in cmd.exe, but without actually opening it. I set RedirectStandardOutput to True, and I need a way to read the result of the command from the stream. Right now, I use ReadToEnd(), but there's no end to the stream, apparently. How do I read the result of the command?[code]...
I'm a bioinformaticist, I'm trying to teach myself how to develop programs that are easy for everyday users to automate programs used in biological research. I thought VB would be great for helping people be more familiar with bioinformatics. Unfortunately, I'm brand new to VB and am stuck with my first program.
All I want to do is have a window pop up where the user then selects a file from an OpenFileDialog box, and pass the filename to a bioinformatics program names msconvert. What I've been doing keeps giving me a message that seems to says, "Unhandled exception has occurreed in your application. . . . File not found."
However, as you can see in my code (below) I have a MsgBox that shows that the correct file HAS been selected, and I can get the whole thing to run from command line.[code]....
