Your question is a word salad and really makes no sense.

Are you asking how to add scripting support to some other application you've written? Are you trying to add command line argument support to your app?

What do you mean by "enhance dos command"?

Perhaps if you gave an example of what you're trying to do...

Windows command shell (aka dos) language already contains FOR and IF commands.

In case you're not aware of ".bat" files. I'd say more than one command in a file constitutes a "script".

Um. You realise you are reinventing the wheel here? Powershell Tutorial for Beginners: Learn in 1 Day[^] There is a whole load more in there than that tutorial, but the official docs are ... lengthy ... PowerShell Documentation - PowerShell | Microsoft Docs[^]
And it's been shipped with Windows since Win7!

I want a scritpt can interact with ma database and my own function .
thescript must interact with log4net for his operation

exemple
if movefile( <varfromdb("key1")>\too.txt , <varfromdb("key2")>\foo.txt) > 0 then
print ("Error")
endif

OK. You can forget the "DOS", as you called it, batch file.

Use Powershell if you want Log4Net support.

You can use Powershell to do anything you want from a command line, albeit a PowerShell prompt.

Yes but the power shell syntax is so harddy for a little user...

and it must work on server from 2k3 to 2k16 and the same in linux.

Dave Kreskowiak20-Jul-20 12:22

20-Jul-20 12:22

And?

Get to learning Powershell.

It works on all current versions of Windows and there's a version for Linux too.

hello thanks but powershell is not for my enduser the syntax is too difficult .
i'm looging vor a language with
var
for next
if then else
while wend

ant the possibility to add my own functions

Richard MacCutchan21-Jul-20 2:55

21-Jul-20 2:55

Well Powershell has all those features.

You don't have much choice.

Rolling your own language/interpreter/debugger is going to take you quite a long time to develop. On top of that, YOU will be the only source of support for the customers on the language.

Help with a program that's made in c# - I have the source

You could write the Powershell scripts for your clients much faster than you could create this application.

Basically I have a program what opens .spl's for images for a game and it's made in c#, some of the .spls open but most are causing this error below. I can upload the source if needed and willing to pay some cash if it can be fixed.

https://i.imgur.com/3JZLE8M.jpg

Source client - also has 4 images from the games i'm trying to use, 2 work (man000000.spl) & (00011100.spl) and 2 that cause the error (00011000.spl) & 00011101.spl

sorry, it sound's like you need RentACoder or such - we don't do that here - if people show is problem(s) with code, what they expect, how they tried, then we'll try to nudge them in the right direction - we don't do homework or code for hire

How to debug Web Service with remote debug?

19-Jul-20 3:47

Look at the first two message which show: "ArgumentOutOfRangeException" on a List index. So you are passing a list item index which is either less than zero, or greater than the number of items minus one, in your list. Go to the point in your code that makes the call and you should be able to see why.

I have a problem, I have two applications, a windows form and a webservice, the webservice code is on a server with IIS. I downloaded remote debbuger 2019 and after installing it I tried to connect the webservice project through a new instance and in the remote debugger panel it tells me that I am connected.

Then I go to my windows form application and start debugging but when I enter the webservice method it doesn't move the debug to the other application as I would have expected, and it times out.

What am I doing wrong?

Start a second instance of Visual Studio and attach the debugger to the remote process.

You then have two instances of Visual Studio. One debugging the local app and the other debugging the remote app.

thank you for the answer, then I opened a new instance and connected the webservice to the remote debugger, then I started a second instance of the windows application, when I get to the point where I call the webservice and I press f11 to enter the webservice method, it tells me to connect the process, I do it but then it tells me that a debug has already started.

Handling a Leading Decimal in a TextBox

Member 1487212816-Jul-20 9:48

I am trying to figure out how to handle the situation where a decimal is inserted into a text box as the only character.

If I clear the textbox and begin inserting a value without starting with a 0, (Say I want 0.0086, but start to type .0086) I get the error:

System.FormatException: 'Input string was not in a correct format.'

as soon as the decimal is typed. I used something like:

if (tbAI0LineSlope.Text.Length == 0 & tbAI0Offset.Text.Length == 0)

to handle empty box, but not sure how to deal with the decimal issue.

float test1 = 1;
float test2 = 0;

if (tbAI0LineSlope.Text.Length == 0 & tbAI0Offset.Text.Length == 0)

{

    tbAI0Val.Text = (iData[7] * test1 + test2).ToString();
}

else if (tbAI0Offset.Text.Length == 0)
{

    tbAI0Val.Text = (iData[7] * float.Parse(tbAI0LineSlope.Text) + test2).ToString();
}

else if (tbAI0LineSlope.Text.Length == 0)
{

    tbAI0Val.Text = (iData[7] * test1 + int.Parse(tbAI0Offset.Text)).ToString();
}
else
{
    tbAI0Val.Text = (iData[7] * float.Parse(tbAI0LineSlope.Text) +
    int.Parse(tbAI0Offset.Text)).ToString();
}

Simple: & is not a logical operator, it's a binary operator.
As such it has a different operator precedence and it's trying to do a binary AND between an i nteger and a string...
Change

if (tbAI0LineSlope.Text.Length == 0 & tbAI0Offset.Text.Length == 0)

to a logical AND:

if (tbAI0LineSlope.Text.Length == 0 && tbAI0Offset.Text.Length == 0)

And see what happens.

Richard MacCutchan16-Jul-20 21:32

16-Jul-20 21:32

You could simplify that code and make it easier to debug:

float test1 = 1;
int test2 = 0;

if (tbAI0LineSlope.Text.Length > 0)
{
    if (!Float.TryParse(tbAI0LineSlope.Text, out test1))
    {
        // display error message or throw an exception if the text is not a valid number
    }
}
if (tbAI0Offset.Text.Length > 0)
{
    if (!Int.TryParse(tbAI0Offset.Text, out test2))
    {
        // display error message or throw an exception if the text is not a valid number
    }
}

float test3 = iData[7] * test1 + test2;
tbAI0Val.Text = test3.ToString();

Sorry, new to the format, but Richard's solution worked perfectly for me. I did try to use && at first, but I still got the exception at the same line when I tried to run. I don't see the way to mark Richard's suggestion as the solution.

Thank you!!
