When code does not feel good, I'd prefer to remove some, rather than add some.

i hav window service app. when i start the method call by onstart method fire only once
|
|
|
|
|
The OnStart[^] method only fires once, so any calls in it will also only be fired once. Start a thread in OnStart if you want something to loop. (Don't do a loop in OnStart as the service won't finish starting until the loop completes.)

i did not do a loop . already have a loop please look at the code

My guess is the System.Threading.Timer is not keeping the service running, as opposed to a thread[^] which will keep the service running.
The last time I made a service, I created a thread in the OnStart event and I put the code for what I wanted the service to do in the thread. The service would keep running until that thread was terminated.
Someone else feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

I'm in need of a quick answer to a problem. I am trying to parse a tab delimited file for the purpose of feed it to a check printer. I am using a stream reader and the issue is that the reader is dropping the first char of each line. Here's the code:
Do While strRead.Read <> strRead.EndOfStream
strTest = strRead.ReadLine
strWrite = strTest.Replace("""", "")
ListBox1.Items.Add(strWrite)
Loop
Can anybody help?
Thanks

ok I found a solution this method from the MSDN worked. I'm not sure why at this point. When I figure it out I'll let you know.
Using sr As StreamReader = New StreamReader("TestFile.txt")
Dim line As String
Do
line = sr.ReadLine()
Console.WriteLine(Line)
Loop Until line Is Nothing
sr.Close()
End Using

Hi,
I would guess strRead.Read really reads something, maybe one byte or so, and you
don't process it. Did you care looking at the documentation of the classes you use?
|
|
|
|

Come on now read documentation? Who does that? No your right under the pressure of an angry ap clerk I did not research class well. Since I have been doing this since vb3 you'd think I'd know beter by now.

Real people.

Well, let's see the angry ap clerk do a better job, which I doubt

He obviously didn't and can't believe the attitude he gave you in his reply about reading documentation.

Did you get that he was poking fun at himself in his reply?
Did you see the "Red face" emoticon?
He wasn't giving any attitude. He was saying "Doh!".

strRead.Read reads the first character of every line.
do while not str.Read.EndOfStream
...
loop

Hi,
When I run a DOS command line program it will work on a file that is located in the root of C:\ but if I try to run it on a file on my desktop nothing happens. Is there any way to get this to work.
|
|
|
|
|
Try this
Process.Start("cmd")

This is the code I am using
'myProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "C:\Program Files\PDFcheck\pdffonts.exe " 'Full pathname to including file name
'myProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = filename ' If the program takes args as string
'myProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True ' Does not create a window DOS program
'myProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False ' Must be false to redirect output
'myProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True
'myProcess.Start() ' Start the DOS program
'myProcess.WaitForExit() ' Wait until it completes before moving on
'prgOutput = myProcess.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd ' Get the DOS output
'pdffonts = prgOutput
'f.Close()

include the full path to your program.
Greetings from Germany

Could it be that the filepath you are supplying contains spaces? If it is a dos program, they generally don't support spaces within filenames, and "c:\documents and settings\user\desktop" does contain spaces. You could try:
c:\docume~1\user\desktop\filename.ext to see if this is the problem.
|
|
|
|
|
is there a way to convert the path from the standard to the dos path version within vb.net
|
|

you can go here:
http://bytes.com/forum/thread349072.html[^]
or copy/paste 
Private Declare Auto Function GetShortPathName Lib "kernel32" (ByVal lpszLongPath As String, ByVal lpszShortPath As System.Text.StringBuilder, ByVal cchBuffer As Integer) As Integer
Private Const MAX_PATH As Integer = 260
Public Function ShortFileName(ByVal LongFileName As String) As String
Dim ShortPath As New System.Text.StringBuilder(MAX_PATH)
Dim BufferSize As Integer = GetShortPathName(LongFileName, ShortPath, ShortPath.Capacity)
Return ShortPath.ToString
End Function
