I've got an application that has a bug right now, but we're unable to update the end-user to get the fix out. What a possible workaround would be is to change the working directory to the application's install directory, but from what I can tell, there's no way to do that outside of the program itself.

I have developed a Windows Service in VB.Net (VS2010) which is running on Windows7. I am trying to get "MainWindowTitle" for processes thru their process object but it returns empty.
[Code]...
I have written a windows service that is meant to launch a notepad when a specific action happens. The problem i have is that even though the service launches notepad, the actual notepad it self is NOT visible. I know that it has been launced because i can see the process in the task manager. By the way the process is listed as a SYSTEM process rather than a process under my user name (i believe that is because my process is a "LocalSystem" one).

View 2 RepliesI have an application in visual basic .net 2008 that allows us to configure our application on different servers, as part of this I need the ability to start/stop windows services on remote machines from the application.I am currently using the following code

I have created a windows service that monitors power events on the host machine. The next step that i wanted to do was to send custom messages to the service. To do this i have created a windows application and added a service controller control to it (drugged it from the toolbox). Initially i tried to send messages to my machine which worked fine (both the service controller and the service were running on the same machine)
Dim scSL As New System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController("MyFirstService", ".")
scSL.ExecuteCommand(128)
but when i tried to send a message to a remote machine on the network
Dim scSL As New System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController("MyFirstService", "machine001")
scSL.ExecuteCommand(128) i got the following error:
"System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot open Service Control Manager on computer 'machine001'. This operation might require other priviledges. ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Access is denied.
Anyone knows what priviledges i need to set on the machine that has the service controller? Alternatively can anyone recommend a solution to this issue?
I created a small service application that listening to incomming TCPClient. Serving is is responsing perfectly when client program execute locally. but when client try to connect remotly, it says "A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time,..."

Following is my code for server.
Dim Listening_Port As Integer = 8001

I currently have need to modify the Active Directory information for all of my users. At the moment, they have phone and mobile numbers stored in the format xxxxx-xxxxxx. The first x is ALWAYS a 0.
What I want is to do is enumerate all users in a chosen container in AD (with the option to include or exclude subcontainers), then read in any phone numbers they may have (bearing in mind not everyone has a direct dial number or mobile). I then need to replace the initial 0 with +44 (0) and write that information back into Active Directory.
How would I change the process name? Like if the program is named Program.exe, how will I change it so that in task manager it shows up as something like Program2.exe
View 7 RepliesI am on my second project. I made the mistake of trying to use my first project as a template thinking there was a 'Save All As...' which I found there wasn't.
I went through the whole project and now it is forcing me to use the folder names that everything is saved in from my first project and my professor wants the directories named a certain way.
If I try and change the names of the folders, then upon re-opening my solution I get errors because the directory has changed.
Is there a way for me to change the directory names and not have my program fall apart? Or re-direct it where to look after I change the folder names?
I think it was Joshdbr) a long time ago a directory rename program. However, I need help changing this to a file rename program. Our work directory will have a root folder, subfolder and .tif images:

I'm programming in VB using Visual Studio 2005 Professional. I have a code munger perl script that generates some of the *.vb files that I want to compile. The script and the associated files are in my project directory, and when I run the script from the OS command prompt, it writes the files in the same directory, which is what I want. Rather than do this, I want to invoke the perl script as a pre-build event. I've gotten it to work ... almost. The only issue now is that the files are now deposited in TargetDir (/bin/Release e.g.) instead of ProjectDir. I could just change TargetDir to be ProjectDir, but that seems like I'm asking for trouble. Is there a way to separately specify the target directory for pre-build commands? Or change it to ProjectDir, then change it back after I'm done with the pre-build?

View 3 RepliesI have created a Windows service in VS 2005 that monitors a folder for XML files, reads some data elements from the XML using XmlDocument, then copies the files to another location. I find that when I drop 2 or more XML files into the folder simultaneously, it processes them with no problems, but when I drop the same files into the folder one at a time, I will get an error on the second file: "The process cannot access the file <my file> because it is being used by another process." If I stop my service, restart it, and drop the second file into the folder again, it works the second time. I am confident that no other program is accessing this file at the same time as my service. My impression is that the processing of file # 1 is somehow not releasing all of the resources, leading to the processing of file # 2 mistakenly thinking that it can't access that second file.

I am trying to write a Windows Script that will allow me to monitor the following: That 2 x seperate but specific processes within Component Services "Running Processes" list are currently running and have not reset within the past hour. If I already know the PID, then I can retrieve the CreationDate (I assume which I can use to check for restarts? or is this the actual process creation/installation date) for each specific process, however if a restart occurs the PID will change and my script needs to know what the new PID is without me telling it!

I am after the one which is most used. A number of ones I have come across are:

I'm trying to emulate the possiblitys of what windows does to try and locate a find and I'm kind of stuck on 2. The current directory for the parent process. I'm guessing if you execute it from cmd.exe it would check c:windowssystem32 folder cause that would be the parent process and that is its folder, but if you double clicked, seems to set the working directory to the path where the exe is located.

I found the following example of how to print a root directory on the net
Code:
Sub Main()
Dim Current As String
Dim Root As String
Current = Directory.getCurrentDirectory()
Root = Directory.GetDirectoryRoot(Current)
Root = Directory.GetDirectoryRoot("")
Console.WriteLine("Current directory {0}", Current)
Console.WriteLine("Root directory {0}", Root)
End Sub
However it just causes the error "name directory not declared"
I had originally saved the project I was working on to my desktop, but now I have moved the folder to another location on my hard drive (didn't want it on my desktop anymore).
But since I've moved it I get the message:

Is there a simple way to update my project to the new folder location?

Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftFusion!EnableLog].
I guess this is a reference issue, but I have added references to WMP libraries (axinterop.wmplib.dll and interop.wmplib.dll). The WMP works on the XP machine, but not when called from my application.I have searched the web now for 5 days and changed references, and reinstalled the media player on the XP machine, but nothing works.
