Watermarking Code Works But Not If Used In Codebehind File?
Nov 1, 2009Puzzled why the same Sub Page_Load code will not work if used on the codebehind file. Current code works fine if used directly on the aspx page,but as soon as i try placing the same code in a codebehind file the images will not show at all. Will post code sample if requested.. The way the code is setup thumbnail page opens a new page that displays larger image with watermark. the watermark page only contains code that creates the watermark for the larger image page.
View 7 RepliesVS 2010 Verify Link Not Working When Automated But If Done Manually Works?
Feb 27, 2012I am not stuck with the code side but rather what seems an issue when using VB and creating well verifying an Twitter Account. I have tried to explain as best as possible but please ask if you need more info
I am currently well on the way to finishing my Twitter Account Creator which also verifies and completes the profile fields but I have encountered a problem and for once not a problem relating to the code side of things at least I don't think it is.
At the moment for testing reasons I have 2 buttons one which creates the account and a second which verifies the account now I am using incognitomail.com (temp email provider) and have 2 web browsers running within my VB program. 1 is for Twitter and 1 is for Incognitomail.com I have no problems clicking and navigating to the verify link and then logging in to verify the Twitter Account but it never verifies and I cannot figure out why.
Say I put another text box and used it to navigate to url's on web browser 1 (twitter) and copied the verify link and put it in the text box it navigates I login and its the fine the account is verified but if I set VB to navigate (can't click because it opens in IE and not within the VB web browser) to the verify link it never verifies I have even tried making the text box fill and then navigate via that just as if a human was doing it but still no luck.
Does anyone have any idea as to why these Twitter Accounts are not verifying when the VB program performs the navigating to the verify link then login but if I do it myself i.e copy the verify link put it in the text box which navigates the web browser then it verifies fine?This is the one step standing in the way from my program being about to create and verify accounts and will not cost a fortune as this was a personal project to counter the lack of Twitter Creators which both work fully and are cheap.
VS 2010 - Developing An Automated Command Line Program - Attach The Timer ?
Feb 15, 2012The code in question is in place, and it works. The project is all but wrapping up. That being said, I would love to find a better way to run this section of code in an x64 system so I have the solution ready for future projects. What I currently have in place is as follows:
Function TimeDelay(vDelay)
Dim vTimmer, vTargetTime
vTimmer = TimeValue(Now)
[CODE]...
Now I know the easy way to achieve my goal would be to use the timer object in Visual Studio. The problem I ran into is I was developing an automated command line program. As such there was nothing I could attach the timer to (that I'm aware of). I just needed to pause the program for a few seconds to allow the DTSX package (SSIS file if you're not familiar) to load the file before I remove it from the staging folder.
While I was doing research for this issue I came across the old Sleep() function (referenced to a library in kernel32 as I understand it...never used this before either). When I tried to use this on my current system (64-bit system) I received stack overflow errors. Additional research lead to something called wow64, but I did not have enough time to fully research what this is / how to use it.
Get The Output Of A Shell Command?
Jan 10, 2012I have a VB.net program in which I call the Shell function. I would like to get the text output that is produced from this code in a file. However, this is not the return value of the executed code so I don't really know how to.
This program is a service but has access to the disk no problem as I already log other information. The whole service have multiple thread so I must also make sure that when the file is written it's not already accessed.

Execute Shell Command With .net Variables?
Apr 21, 2011I am trying to execute a shell command with vb.net that includes variable from the vb.net code.I have experience with batch, and Unix scripting. I had to modify the contents of the code as it is confidential to me at the moment.Example of my problem:
Dim Variable1 As String = "Location_to_.exe"
Dim Location As String = "UNC_Path_Goes_Here"
Dim Options As String = "/Options go here"
Shell("cmd.exe", /C Variable1, Location, Options) This is something that must be run from CMD.exe and I am trying to do it this way to make it as dynamic as possible.

Command Line To Close Shell Process?
Mar 12, 2011I've created a very basic WF Shell project which runs an EXE (xyz.exe) in the WF Shell project's Resource folder. I can get a command line working from the Shell to open the other EXE (xyz.exe). But, I can't get code to close the Shell project's other EXE (xyz.exe) once it is opened. The xyz.exe windows called by the Shell continues to stay open even if I pass a "close" command line to the Shell.
The following code (which Paul suggested in another posting) will not close the other (xyz.exe) EXE's running process (when called by the Shell). While the Shell seems to be able to return it's called subordinate EXE's (xyz.exe) ID, not sure how to use such an ID to close its process.
Imports System.Diagnostics
Module Module1
Dim resourceFolder As String = Application.StartupPath & "Resources"

Control Panel Applets - Shell Command?
Jan 21, 2009I've researched this - and have read the other posts on this forum so this isn't a request for the commands themselves.My issue is that I can't get the 'desktop background' (to change the picture) applet to run from the following:Call Shell("rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,,0", 1)
what I get from changing the commands are the following:Desktop Icon Settings Call Shell("rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,,0", 1)
Screensaver Call Shell("rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,,1", 1)
Appearance settings Call Shell("rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,,2", 1)
Resolution settings Call Shell("rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,,3", 1)
If I increment up from 3 (desk.cpl,,3) to 4,5,6 etc it still only gives me resolution settings. I tried up to 15 but lost the will to live after that! I'm using Vista (and VB 2008) so not sure if this is the issue, but if anyone has any suggestions please - I'm all ears.

View 2 RepliesShell Command Launches An App Differently Than Running The Executable
Sep 1, 2009I have a legacy vb6 application that uses a shell command to launch a newer .net application. It's a very simple command, just launches an app. Here's the problem. When I run the .net app through the shell command, it tries to connect to a database that is not referenced in it. If I double-click the .net executable, it runs just fine and connects the way it is supposed to. Normal, no problems. Only when I run it from the shell command do I have problems. I have checked everything I can think of and simply can not come up with a reason why the app would behave differently when launched from a shell command.
