View 4 RepliesI'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.
Module Main
Private Timer As New System.Timers.Timer
Private PLC As New ACTMULTILib.ActEasyIF
Private DataSet As new DataSet[code].....
my dream project is to create a vb.net program that will able to input applications and then run it and erase it after a given month/day/time.it will allow you to add applications that you can erase after a period of time or do u have applications that able you to input applications then block/erase in period of time?
View 3 RepliesI`m fairly new to coding (2 weeks) and having some trouble with a timer application to control a greenhouse misting system. The problem arose after resolving the 65 second interval limitation for tmrPause, it appears the tmrPulse line is never reached as lblCycleStatus.Text doesnt display "Pulse" where it did before. I may have bitten off more than i can chew for a first project but i`d appreciate any pointers as to where i went wrong so i can learn from it.[code]

View 5 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 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.

I have a timer in vb.net and it's interval is 1000ms ,. i have placed in it's timer_tick event a code that will print screen the screen and save it to a database.The problem is when i click outside of the form, or loosing the focus of the mouse to the form containing that timer/printscreen, the timer stops. As a result the printscreen also stops.here are it's properties:
generate member = true
interval = 1000
modifiers = friend
VB6 create object of timer instead of timer control
View 5 RepliesI am currently working on an application, where I am using a console application, that will set up the application prior to the main form is run. 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 12 RepliesHow do I get the console from closing immediatley upon opening in a Console Application program? I have all of the code written but when I run the program it pops up the console window and then immediatley exits so I am unable to read what is in the window to see if my program is operating correctly. This is the first time I've ever used a console window so I don't know where in the code I would need to put "whatever it is" I might need to put to keep the window open until closed by the user.
View 7 RepliesIt sounds confusing but it's not really. What I need is basically a way to emulate the console style text, without using a console. What I'm really doing is trying to do a matrix effect on my form background, by drawing symbols and moving them, alternating their colors (see this video for what I mean).
Is there a way to do this effectively with a timer and a draw event, with the timer calling the draw event and changing the intervals?
In a vb 2010 project, I have 2 win forms: Form1 and Form2.
In the Form1 class there is a server-based timer: when the "elapsed event" fires, then I update the text of a Label1 on the Form2. A very simple code:
I am trying to use the System.Diagnostics.Process class.I have the following Windows Forms application. It consists of 1 Button and 1 TextBox. The only code is for the button click event as follows.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim myProcess As New Process()

View 2 Repliesdetect whether the current application is a console or a winforms application.The reason that I want to do this is that I am developing a library with a global error handler in it and I need to know what type of application it is in order to be able to subscribe to the appropriate exception event.Obviously I could get the user to pass in a parameter specifying what type of application it is, but I would rather deal with that automatically so its all encapsulated from the user of the class.
View 1 RepliesWe currently have +- 20 different console application developed in VS2008 and running at different scheduled intervals, all controlled by Windows schedular. The problem we have come accross is that it is becoming increasingly difficult to manage and maintain these console apps. In some instances a console app will just fail or never run to start with and this creates a lot of problems. In many cases one console app is dependant on another and if 1st one fails well...you see where this is going.
I am looking for a new solution that will help us to trace, debug and manage these console apps better. We are preferably looking for a gui front end, maybe windows app where we can set the intervals for them to sun and view some error reports if they did not run.We are port all the code for the console apps to which ever new appliocation we develop.
how can I control and use already compiled console applications with VB.Net? I would like to be able to pass parameters to the console app, as well as be able to hide and close command prompt widow (as ordinary users would probably get scared/confused from seeing it). Perhaps it is possible to integrate the command application into my VB.Net executable?

I have read and played with code that streams output to a richtextbox but that is runningit from cmd.exe but I run kix32 programs like anything.kix using commmand line kix32 c:anything.kix and it can be run from a *.cmd file as well.
why havent' experts made a toolbox item/control that is say called console? like they seem to have many others dialogbox - browse box etc...? It has been years since VB.net has been out. why why dont they make one??huh? I have looked all over net and it ant no easy job either.
I mean all the code i see makes it very difficult you have to be an expert just to make the coding. Is there some class or something that maybe a beginner/intermediate might be able to tackle..
I just want the command line that is initiated by the kix32 engine to be streamed to my richtextbox in my gui vb.net program
I have a form with a web browser control on it, which opens a java 5.0 webpage. I would like the users to invoke the java console in order to perform debugging. I know this could be done by going to the control panel -> Java -> Advanced, but I am wanting to acheive something similar to tools -> sun java console in ie.the main reason for this is that the program runs as a kiosk, and only those with admin privilages would have access to the button.

I 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.
