Wait For Program To Run Up?
Jul 10, 2009
ok I have a program that controls another program.. but sometimes the other program is not running.. so I ask the question "do you want to run it up" so if they it takes like 15 seconds to come up.. so really I dont want to do much on my program while we wait for that other program to finally come up..
normally when my program comes up I make sure the other app is running.. and it would come up before you would click on something to try to call it.. but during the day.. maybe their app crashes.. so then right before I try to make a call to it I will check if its running.. so I want to run it up but kinda put a hold on my code while it waits..
so whats the best way to do this ? stop my code.. call a timer and when it see's its up call again ?? or can I put in some wait in the code then continue... just looking for the best method people have used..

Code is below. I am designing this code to transfer a file at a specified time. Right now, I have it sending me an email when it succeeds for test purposes. It will be only when the file copy fails later.
Here's my question: how can I get the program to wait until the file copy is complete to report success or failure? Right now I'm using exists to see if it works, but some other method of checking the file will be built in later. Eventually, this will be deployed to various locations for a bit of automated backup.

I built a console application with a loop at the end,[code]in the loop when the user press "q" on the keyboard, the program will go out of the loop, I've tried using Console.Read or Console.ReadKey which is not working because it waits for the user to press the keyboard,but I need the loop to keep running although the user is not pressing the keyboard so in the program the console will be like: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA,etc. until the user press "q" on the keyboard,

In my program, if something goes wrong an ErrorForm is supposed to show up and tell what was going wrong.
And if the error is a "fatal type", then I want the program just display the ErrorForm (which gives some information about the error), wait for a button press, and then close the program (terminate run).
In case of error, the form is displayed.. That's good.
But as the program is supposed to terminate after showing the error form, the error form disappears immediately after showing up (so it doesn't allow the user any time to read what's going wrong).
How can I make the program wait until a button press (on the error form) and then terminate?

how to tell a program to wait or pause without using a timer control.

I've made a gui for a cmd line program and I need to wait for the cmd line program to finish running before continuing.nd I have some code that starts the cmd line program and then calls a subroutine when it's finished running. But this method won't work since now I'm trying to run the cmd line program in a loop.Edit:Is there a way to just have the runtsmod subroutine (shown below) wait until the cmd line program is finished, instead of relying upon a subroutine starting when the cmd lineprogram finishes. This would simplify things greatly being able to call the sub tha starts the cmd line program and having it finish when the cmd line program is done.
Sub runtsmod()
'If the tsmod program exists in the directory the GUI is run from it is ran
Dim tsmod As String = Application.StartupPath & " smod_GUI.exe"

While navigating to a series of sites at one site the WebBrowser control's DocumentCompleted EVENT is tripped and no other recorded Browser events occur after that. When this happens the hour glass cursor indicates the browser is waiting. From this point it take 120 to 250 seconds of wall clock time before the browser resumes. I am looking for a way to force an abnormal termination without destroying the control. I have tried "Stop", "nav to about:blank" repeatedly without success. How can I force an abnormal termination when the Cntrl is in a wait state?
Consider the following: The last known Browser event to be tripped is a Document Complete event; nothing else occurs after this. When this transpires the Cntrl is waiting.
1:50:657: ============================= ENTER WebBrowser1_DocumentCompleted EVENT ========================================

I have an app that gets info from the internet into a label, the progam then decides which event will hapen depending on the info obtained, either load next form and continue or Application.Exit
My problem is that the speed that the info is returned from the net, varies and because the info is late sometimes the program exits when it should not.

In my MDI Application code I have a form that launches a second form then hides itself until the spawned form closes. It works great unless I choose to close the application while the spawned form is still up.
The following is some example code.
Dim ChildForm as New frmTaskWindow With { .MDIParent = Me, .AddingNew = True }
ChildForm.Show
Me.Hide()
[Code].....
Me.Show() ' error occurs here because my form is already closed by the system. Is there a way to get around this without just an error catcher?

I have some difficulties concerning threading [code]
Code:
1- Dim str As String
2- Dim x As New myClass
3- str = x.doSomething()
4- x.closeSomething()
I've included line numbers so I can just refer the lines by their numbers. My problem is, when the program executes, line 4 seems to be executed earlier than I want it to. It gets executed while ThreadX is still running in line 3. How can I force the program to wait until ThreadX has finished executing, before it executes line 4?

I designed a application on vb.net 2005. Some of the forms in this application has databindings controls. Now when such forms loads it takes some time. I want a splash screen or wait dialog containg "Please wait" message to appear till the form loads and the wait splash screen would be shown for every several forms in the application not only before the start up form.

I'm trying to wait for a Task result in .NET 4, much like you can by using the await keyword in .NET 4.5. I just can't figure out how to do it though...My code (to prove that I'm atleast trying):
Private Function GetXDocumentFromWebLocationAsync(ByVal request As WebRequest) As XDocument
Dim queryTask As Task(Of WebResponse)
queryTask = task(Of WebResponse).Factory.FromAsync(AddressOf request.BeginGetResponse, AddressOf request.EndGetResponse, Nothing, Nothing)
[code]....
As you would expect, the GetResponse calls are executed on a different thread, but the function has to wait for the result before it can return. Unfortunately this blocks my main thread until the task has completed and I don't have the slightest clue on how to make it wait without blocking. I don't want to use the Async CTP either because that's just running away from the problem.
