Hi,
I am kind of new to CLI, and I am unsure how to run an application on a remote PC from a local PC. I am looking for a way to do this via command line on windows. The idea is:
I need something similar to the services control 'sc'. But instead of controlling services remotely, I would like to run files on a PC in the network. I have found some custom applications to do this, but I would rather write my own batch scripts. Surely if they can write apps to do it, then there must be some way.
I think taskkill has a parameter to specify a machine to remotely end a process, but I need to start one! 
I have tried:
- Map the remote drive to my local PC and then access the files, but of course it will run on my LOCAL PC, not the other PC
- Googling a lot, failing a lot, finding too many 3rd party apps, finding too many C# code snippets
Does anyone know a CLI command that can do this? Just the command or an idea would do, I just need a better starting point.
Some insight would be really appreciated. Thanks

There is no simple CLI 'command' to execute code on remote computers. If it were that simple to execute code on remote machines we would be in big trouble. Mark Russinovich over at Microsoft created a great tool called PsExec [^]which does exactly what your describing. You can even use it in batch files.
It is certainly possible to create a tool which does the same thing. Mark described how psexec is implemented in this WindowsITPro article[^] but unfortunately it requires a subscription to be read. If you look around the net you will find others who have discussed how PsExec works:

Thank you David, I'll definately look into it
I was hoping that something built-in from Windows existed for this, like 'sc', but I guess it can't always be that easy!

Hi again,
I tried many things now, but nothing worked.
The question isn't really difficult. I have a Status_line label which is
actualised circa 20 times a seconde. In that label is always the actual running
number written. But I do not get rid of that horrible flickering!
I tried already to doublebuffer, but it seems to work only on Graphics.
The writing function has to take the textcolor, backcolor and string as parameter,
so I cannot statically DrawString on the label graphics.
Isn't there a way to prevent that flickering?
Thanks! cherry

Hi,
1.
AFAIK all Controls can be double-buffered, and that is the best way to improve the situation
2.
some improvement can be achieved by NOT updating the control when all the parameters remain the same,
i.e. compare the current ForeColor, BackColor and Text, with the new ones, and only update when there is a difference.

No, not all controls can be double buffered. As I tried to enable double buffering on that label,
compiling error C3767 "Candidate Function Not Accessible" appears.
I just can assign doublebuffering to the whole control (it's a control library project), but that has
sadly no effect on the flickering.
I also have tried your second hint, the comparison has also no effect and the fact is, that I have to update,
because in every loop there's number incremented, which I want to display.
So at least the text of the label MUST be changed.
Nevertheless, thank you! Maybe you come up with a further issue..

I haven't encountered a situation yet where I was in need to double-buffer something that did not offer to do so.

If the only purpose is to show some progress is (or isn't) being made, I often reverse the initiative: adding a Windows.Forms.Timer that periodically (say every 333msec) checks the situation and reports progress, independent of the work that is going on.
BTW: that timer ticks on the GUI thread, so its handler can update any Control.
PS: for it to work at all, the work itself needs to be handled by another thread (maybe in a BackgroundWorker)

Hi,
I started the backgroundworker doing his work, and from the DoWork-Event, I called
timer->start();
but somehow the timer starts never.
In the timer_Tick event I always update my label, I got you right?!
But as I said, the Tick() event is never reached, altough I started the timer.
Do I have to do something else with the backgroundworker? An own thread?

A Forms.Timer is like a Control, you should only touch it from the main thread, hence outside your worker threads. It needs an Interval value, a Tick handler, and a Start(). It is best to make the timer object a class member of your Form (or other Control).

Hello,
Problem is - User can input any number, program need to take decision based on inputs.
Let suppose input is stored in variable n;
based on value of n some function will be called.
program logic can be -
if(n > 1 && n < 10 )
callfun1();
if(n > 11 && n < 20 )
callfun2();
if(n > 25 && n < 30 )
callfun3();
if(n > 33 && n < 38 )
callfun4();
if(n > 1 && n < 10 )
callfun5();
.
.
.
and so on
if(n > minlimit && n < maxlimit )
callfunX();
Is there any easy way to avoid if else chain to do similar work.
Or is there any way to change the limits in if condition at some central place something using #define.
Please provide your inputs/help to help me finding other ways to optimize programming.
Thank
Vikas

Hello.
In .NET you could do something like:
Define an array of minlimits and maxlimits, define a class C to hold your methods, methods that are named in the line of M1, M2 and then use invokemember to call them like this:
For(int i = 0;i<bound;i++)
{
if((minlimits[i]<n)&and(maxlimits[i]>n)
C.GetType().InvokeMember("M"+i.tostring(), .....)
}
In C++ i think you can do this with an array of pointers to functions, but i quit C++ a long time ago and i don't know for sure. Also, the .NET solution is not tested, but looks good:P

Hello!
You could store the intervals in a sorted container together
with the function delegates to call for the specific interval.
You could now use a binary search to find the appropriate
intervals.
However, it gets more difficult when the intervals overlap
and there has to be a certain order. When there are
repeated intervals as above, you could use multicast delegates,
calling callfun1() and callfun5() after each other.

Please any one know how to run an external application in c++ Windows Forms
|
|
|
|
|
You can use either ShellExecute() or CreateProcess().
Advantage of CreateProcess() function is your program can wait till another application you have launched is not finished/terminated.
Thanks

Hi,
read up on the Process class. Simple stuff can be handled in a Process.Start() statement; more complexe requirements need details stored in a ProcessStartInfo objects first.

Could someone provide me with code examples of:
- A C++/CLI program with a function that takes a string as an argument, writes it into every entry of an array of length 5, and returns that array to the caller.
- A C# program which invokes the above program.
I've spent a good portion of the day poking at C# and C++/CLI trying to get them to talk to each other and a simply am getting no where.
I'm certain, given the above example, I can extrapolate what I'll need to complete my task. My problem, is most of the stuff I've found via google searches either just shows off C++/CLI syntax (and does not shows how to access it via another .NET language), or uses what I've learned are "old" interoperability conventions.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Sound like homework question. But here you go..

typedef array<System::String^> StringArray;
public ref class Foo
{
public:
StringArray^ GetStringArray(System::String^ str)
{
StringArray^ a = gcnew StringArray(5);
for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
a[i] = str;
}
return a;
}
};
int main(StringArray^ args)
{
Foo^ foo = gcnew Foo();
StringArray^ a = foo->GetStringArray("Test");
for each(String^ str in a)
{
Console::WriteLine(str);
}
return 0;
}

In your C# project, add reference to the assembly you got from the above code. You will get access to class Foo.

Certainly not a homework question. Initially I was just going to ask for the C++/CLI to write helloworld, but I figured I'd ensure I figured out how to pass around arrays and the like.
I've got a library written in C that i need to make C# compliant for a client, and from what I've seen the way to do that is to write a wrapper around the C library in C++/CLI.
Regardless of that, thank you for the response. I'm not developing this specifically in Visual Studio though, I was just compiling with cl and csc. Which is why I was wondering if someone could explain how to explicitly link the two. There's lots on the internet about C++/CLI, what I'm having trouble with is convincing a C# program to play nice with something like the above code.
Thanks again!

I am not getting where you are stuck.
Use cl with /clr command switch to compile C++/CLI program. Make a DLL from it which can be run on common language runtime. See the compiler switches here[^].
Once you generated the DLL, use csc to compile the C# application. There is no linker needed for C# programs. Specify the DLL as reference to the compiler. I guess /reference is the compiler switch used for that. See /lib[^] as well for specifying the directories where to look for assembly.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was doing before. I suppose I just had something wrong in the C++/CLI file.
Thanks again!

Does it compile? Are you able to view the produced DLL via reflector[^]?

Haha, it's midnight in my neck of the woods, and I don't have any of my code on my home machine. Despite that, I'm fairly confident I'll be able to resolve my issues given what you've said. My biggest problem was every Google query resulted in different people answering similar, but non-identical, questions all in different manners. From what I've read, Microsoft's .NET interoperability standards have changed quite a bit over the years, so I'm fairly certain I was probably mixing some old stuff and new stuff that just didn't jive. That combined with the fact that all of the explicit tutorials involved going step by step through visual studio, which is not a tool I'm using.
My deepest thanks, you've been extremely helpful!
