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.

I've got ASP.NET intranet application written in VB. It gets a file from the user, and then depending on a few different cases it may create a few copies of the file as well as move the original.
Unfortunately I've come across a case where I get this error:
Exception Details: System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file
'\somedirD09_03_5_180_0.000-6.788.png' because it is being used by another process.
Which is thrown by My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile. And that's fine that it's being used by another process - it may still be saving/downloading from the user or trying to copy while another thread(?) is copying, I don't really care about that, what I want to know:
Is there any way that I can tell VB to wait to copy (also move) the file until the file is no longer in use?
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'm downloading a file asynchronously so that it doesn't stall the UI. I'm using a very basic WebClient and calling .DownloadFileAsync.The file I'm downloading is required for additional tasks after it has been downloaded. The issue that I'm running into is that, since the file is being downloaded on another thread, execution on the main thread continues while the file hasn't finished downloading.Is there any way to pause execution while the file is being downloaded? Or is there a better method?
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to run a batch file via VB and I need to wait for it to complete/exit before progressing. The issue I believe I am having is that when a batch file is executed, it opens cmd.exe and not the batch file.
This is what I am executing with VB
My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "PingCheckmachines.txt")
FileCopy(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "machines.txt", My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "PingCheckmachines.txt")
Dim psi As New ProcessStartInfo(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "PingCheckgo.bat")
psi.RedirectStandardError = True
psi.RedirectStandardOutput = True
psi.CreateNoWindow = False .....
The problem I am having is that it will just delete ping.bat before it completes.
How do I go about monitoring the process from the batch file I call. Then once it exits, continue with the script?
I'm going through All-In-One Code Framework Coding Standards document and one of the recommendations is to add a file header comment at the start of every human-created code file. This is the first time I've seen such a recommendation and to me it's just an unnecessary and ugly clutter but I'm wondering if someone could explain why M$ recommends this?

I have a dbf file. I saved it as a csv file and can open it in excel.
But i cannot open it in VB.net using programming and OLEDB connection.
If i copy all these content, paste it in a new excel sheet and then save it as csv file. My VB.net program reads it absolutely fine.
Any idea what might be wrong in saving the file directly from dbf to csv using excel?

I am trying to add text to an already created file on vb.net. When I run the program there are no errors and it writes everything to my liking, but currently when it goes to save, it makes me create an entirely new text file with any name I choose to give it. What I need to do is for it to automatically get added onto the end of an already created text file without deleting any other part of the file, which we will call "data.txt." Here is the code I already have
Imports System.IO
Public Class Frmadd
Const FILE_NAME As String = "data.txt"

In my code I have
IO.File.Create("C: ext.txt")
then I try to
IO.File.Delete("C: ext.txt")
How do I close the file that was created?
I have done something like this for writing to files but not creating files.
Dim infile As IO.StreamReader = IO.File.OpenText(path)
infile.close()
I have an aspx page in VB that fills a pdf with data from a web form.I'm using iTextSharp for this and I have no problem with this.This is the second time I've created anything for pdf's and I'm using the code from the first script.The first script wrote the filled in pdf to a directory on the server where one person could access those via another aspx page. I wrote that code probably a year ago.Now, instead of having the filled in pdf sit on the sever, I have to email it, which I was successful at doing.The only issue left is to delete the filled in pdf from the directory.I tried to use file.delete(), but I got an error stating the the file was being used by another process.how to stop the process in order to be able to delete the file.[code]

I have written VB.Net code that will read a users outlook inbox and searches for messages that contain a particular string in the subject line and then move those emails to another folder in outlook.Recently I have had to create a small app that does the same thing except it saves the emails in the .MSG format and places them on the network drive.What I can't figure out is how do I get the outlook object to see the network drive after the fact.
After the emails are saved in the MSG format on the network, I have to create another application that will reside on users computers that will use their outlook to read these files again.I can easily attach to an existing outlook folder and read what is in it but the network drive path is not an outlook folder and never will be.
Edit: I figured out how to save as new, now all I need to do is save an already created text file.
