write content of textbox1 text to a temporary file, read it from second thread and put it in the second textbox2.
Well, while that is possible to do so, it is not very efficient.

You cannot access controls from threads other than the one that created the control. It's also a really bad idea to create controls on anything other than the UI thread (the one the application started on).
You might want to read this[^] and this[^].

I am opening an existing Excl sheet in a AxWebBrowser (that's the easiest way i got) on a window form created by VB.net 2005.
My issue is that i am not able to : close the file so when i try to open another file or over write the same file (on HDD) i am not able to do it.
Also i find the excel exe (in the task manager) running in the back which is not freeing the excel.
What can be done to solve these issues?
Regards

that is exactly what i do not know how to do? Any idea apart from killing excel.

try this
just kill the excel process from the task manager, from your application.
use this below code.
Public Sub Kill_Application(ByVal ApplicationName As String)
Try
Try
Dim processList1() As Process
processList1 = Process.GetProcessesByName(ApplicationName)
For Each proc As Process In processList1
proc.Kill()
Next
Catch
End Try
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub

Thanks a lot, it works
the only issue with this is it will close all the instances of excel, which means if the user is working on any Excel sheet apart from our application it will also get closed. Is there a way out?

Let this be the webmethod:
<br />
<webmethod()> _<br />
Public Function HelloWorld() As String<br />
Return "Hello World"<br />
End Function<br />
I have a test harness which is a windows form and I would like to send a request and receive a repsonse asynchronoulsy. Please help me with the code asap.
Thank you

I am not asking people to do it right away keeping their work aside. People who cant help need not bother at all and better be off. I am asking only those who have already worked on it and who can guide me in the right direction.

I did some web services stuff the other day, investigating how to consume web services through a silverlight app.
Have you made a reference to the web service in your project?

I have added it as the web reference to my windows app project and created an instance of it to call the web methods.

Ok. What code have you done in your windows app to create the instance and method call? Sounds like you are so far on the right track.

This may be silly, but do you have the web service running?

Yeah the web service is running...I am actually new to web services. So, is there any way to confirm if it is actually running or not. And the code that I have on my Windows app is a simple one for now.
On a button click event , it just says:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
'Cool is the name of my webservice
Dim objService as New Cool.Service
TextBox1.Text = objService.HelloWorld()
end sub
And the web method in the Cool Service is:
<webmethod()> _
Public Function HelloWorld() As String
Return "Hello World"
End Function
Now what is an asynchronous web request-response? I have the following method which does a httpwebrequest-httpwebresponse:
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Dim myHttpWebRequest As HttpWebRequest
Dim myHttpWebResponse As HttpWebResponse
Dim receiveStream As Stream
Dim encode As Encoding
Dim sr As IO.StreamReader
Dim strUrl As String = "http://localhost:5404/CoolService/Service.asmx"
Try
myHttpWebRequest = CType(WebRequest.Create(strUrl), HttpWebRequest)
myHttpWebResponse = CType(myHttpWebRequest.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)
receiveStream = myHttpWebResponse.GetResponseStream()
encode = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("utf-8")
sr = New StreamReader(receiveStream, encode)
Do Until sr.Peek = -1
TextBox2.Text += sr.ReadLine
Loop
Catch ex As System.Net.WebException
MsgBox(ex.Message)
Finally
sr.Close()
myHttpWebResponse.Close()
End Try
End Sub
Is this asynchronous?

Same here, and have picked up on it relatively quickly. For future reference, put your code inside the code block or inline code tags at the bottom of the reply form. It makes it easier to read

At least you are not dealing with passing xml right now like I am trying to do. My case works sort of okay but even though I am returning XmlDocument, my test app is looking for XmlElement. Now, set aside my banter, back to your problem....
Dim strUrl As String = "http://localhost:5404/CoolService/Service.asmx", I took out CoolService, and left it as Dim strUrl As String = "http://localhost:5404/Service.asmx" and it looks like it worked.

Wow...thats great! Actually I need to pass an xmlDoc and receive an ID in response to it from the webservice. But what I am thinking is, if I get this simple one to work...we can definetely replace the strings with whatever we want. Am I making sense?
Can you please discuss more on making asynchronous calls?

It's not that tough actually.
dreddy7 wrote: Can you please discuss more on making asynchronous calls?
I've stuck with just invoking the method, here is what I've done, minus any client intellectual property...
<webmethod()> _
Public Function GetContact(ByVal contactID As Integer) As XmlDocument
Dim ContactDataSet As New ContactDataSet
Dim ContactDataAdapter As New ContactDataSetTableAdapters.ContactTableAdapter
ContactDataAdapter.FillByID(ContactDataSet.ContactTable, contactID)
Dim memStream As New System.IO.MemoryStream
Dim xml As New XmlTextWriter(memStream, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8)
ContactDataSet.ContactTable.WriteXml(xml)
Dim myXDoc As New XmlDocument()
memStream.Flush()
memStream.Position = 0
myXDoc.Load(memStream)
Return myXDoc
End Function
It very happily gags up the correct data.

Well, disregard my latest post, it only gave back the entire http response. You may have to hand pick out the returned value out of the http response, perhaps through regular expressions.

I am automating excel and would like to align the lefts of my VB.NET form and Excel application. Unfortunately, the "left" in Excel is on a different scale than the "left" of the windows forms. I would like to use code like:
Me.Left = oApp.Left
where oApp refers to the Excel application. This, however, fails to left align these windows. I think I'm missing the big picture here. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Yep, you're missing it alright. The Left in the Excel.Application class is not in pixels, but in points. Documentation on Left[^]...
