You can check if the process exists, that's one way.
|

You should forget about using Process.Start for the moment and make sure that you understand how the second application behaves when run manually in a command window.
Hopefully after typing in the correct command line, the application will run and then exit. If the running application requires user interaction, e.g. "Press a key to exit", then it may be a poor candidate for automation via Process.Start.
If the manual run is ok can you post the code used to initialise the Process object.

I am going to run the application manually and let you know what I find out.
When I run the application from the console application, here is the code to get the application running:
private static String strConsoleAppLocation = "C:\\temp\\Eclient.exe";
private static String strEncryptedValue = "encrypt value"
private static String strWebServiceurl = "https://test1/testWebService";
Process_Arguments = null;
Process eProcess1 = new Process();
eProcess1.StartInfo.FileName = strConsoleAppLocation;
Process_Arguments = strEncryptedValue + " " + strWebServiceurl + " 10 " + SPkgID;
eProcess1.StartInfo.Arguments = Process_Arguments;
eProcess1.Start();

I want to make the following comments:
1. When I stepped through the code using a visual studio.net 2008 debugger, the application did finish executing when the main procedure finished executing. Basically there was no where for me to step through the code again.
However the debugger was still active and ready to continue debugging.
Does this the application is still executing?
2. As far as I can tell, the application runs fine from the dos window. It does not ask me to enter any information. Does that mean it has finished executing?

Some apps may be behave differently when run "normally" or from a batch or with pipes and redirection.
You might want to try running it via my ProcessCommunicator[^] to see how it actually behaves when executed in a Process.

I would like to call psexec or a native class inside of a simple GUI, so that I can query racadm.exe (a dell utility) on a remote server and get current drac information for that particular box.
Is there a wrapper available for this?
Thanks!

Does the last reply on this[^] page help?

Hi,
I'm actually looking for a wrapper so that the code is native, instead of using standard in/out, but I might have to go that way.
Something like this except I cannot get that project to open in vs2008?

Hi
How should be used these objects,
- do I have to create an object every time in an using block
(creating connection every time I need a query)
or
- I can create the object globally and reused for every query I need? Will the server close this connection if it is idle, and I will have an exception when trying to reuse it?
Should be this object(context) thread safe?

Are you talking about an SqlConnection? It will keep open a while, but I close the connection after the operations are done. I open it for the next time again.
George Nistor wrote: Should be this object(context) thread safe?
They are not thread-safe automatically. You have to use delegates to call them from different threads if you are talking about an sqlconnection.
It would be more helpful if you say what you are talking about as concrete as possible. Otherwise I may have answered your questions but I think I don't have...

yes, I talk about SQL connection.
What do you mean by using delegates. To create some functions where I open the connection with using ?
ans possibly pass some delegates with the functionality I require?

Sorry, I didn't told the truth, I mixed it up with something completely different. The SqlConnection is threadsave. Therefore no delegates aren't needed. I used some other communication at the same time and this wasn't threadsafe, so delegates were needed.

Hi All,
I Develop an application with main form (MDI Form) and all child forms opened in the same form, but my problem is when open the application the windows task bar doesn't show until i minimize or close the application.
please help me if you can who to show the windows task bar in the same time when my application is opened.
Thanks.

Go to the MDI-Form and take a look to the properties. Is the property "ShowInTaskbar" set to true? If not set it to true. That's the normal state, but it seems it's missing for your form.

Hi,
The property "ShowInTaskbar" is true but still the windows task bar disappeared
Thanks

Ok. The Windows is not shown in the taskbar, you say. If you create a new Project with a normal form, is that shown on taskbar?
If it is shown, the problem might be your project. Create a new one and copy the files to the new folder, include them into the new project.

Just to be clear about this: the ShowInTaskbar for the main form, right? MDI children will never appear in the taskbar.

The dock property has nothing to do with the task bar. It just handles if a control is docked on one side of it's parent.

If you have a Windows Form application here, it means one of two things - one, the taskbar is set to autohide, or two, you have code in the application that's designed to run the application full screen.

Are you properly setting the MDiParent property of each child window to 'true ? Once you have set that property: the setting of 'ShowInTaskBar for MdiChild Forms has no effect.
See Pete O'Hanlon's reply above for other things you should check on.
And, also, if you are using Windows 7, there have been many bug reports to Microsoft about the Main TaskBar stuck on Visible, and not hiding, when its AutoHide property is set to false: I have this problem, at times myself, and have reported it: but I have never heard of anyone having a problem where the Main TaskBar was "stuck" on "closed."

What did you get back when you tried RESTORE FILELISTONLY to list the logical file names? Did that list include the file you're trying to restore?

I’m working on a special project over the next 6 weeks while I recover from surgery. I’m trying to teach an old style C++ developer (me) new tricks using C#!
I’m looking for advice and some helpful links on how to convert a console based C++ program of mine to C#. I can go into the detail of the project, but it is fairly large and that would take us down the wrong path. I’m basically looking for some general information here.
My first thought on this is to create 3 separate solutions within one project.
The first would be a DLL that does all the work and returns the “feedback” (what it did and did it do successfully or have problems it had, etc.) back to the main process in the form of a string to be displayed.
I’ve never written a DLL, so this is a first for me also!
The second solution would be a windows form which can be used to set up the various calling parameters for calling the DLL to do its work …
And the third would be a console based application that would use the same DLL interface.
I’m using http://apex.vtc.com/ms-c-2008.php as a tutorial for learning C# and should be finished with the free stuff tomorrow at which time I will start paying my monthly fees until I have everything working properly. I’m using VS 2008 Professional Edition because that is what in loaded on my home PC.
Does this sound like a reasonable approach?
Where can I get a good tutorial on how to write a DLL and how to create bi-directional communicate with it?
Thanks in advance for any feedback and pointers you can offer.

I know it's probably more complicated than I understand, but to me a dll is just a library of functions that you add to your class with a using statement. In C# I believe you create it as a class library, then use the class member methods in your form or console app to accomplish useful things. Keep in mind, of course, that as a programmer I'm a complete idiot, barely functional, but I do manage to make things I need to have work somehow. I could be giving you bad advice, but it seems to me that you might want to create a class library to hold all the useful functions you use in multiple places, a Windows Form for the user interface, and a "something else" that actually controls all the interactions. The GUI part should really only handle display and input, then pass inputs to something else for handling, and respond to events for things that need to be displayed. Your class library would contain the functions that do all the heavy lifting.
In website development, there's a model called MVC - I don't know if it's applied to desktop apps, but I see no reason not to. I once reviewed a book on the subject, and got a free copy of the book when it was finally published, and I was much impressed by the logic of this approach. Your Model (M) would include the class library with all of the workhorse bits, the View (V) would just accept input and display results, and your Controller (C) would contain the state machine and event handlers that make everything happen. To my thinking, this would save you some work, as the command line version of your app could actually be the Controller, using a constructor that accepts the initial inputs on the command line, instead of being provided by your GUI interface. C# allows multiple constructors, so long as the signature is different for each, IIRC.
Of course, I could be leading you astray, being just a hobbyist who will never be an expert, as the majority of our members are. But that's the way I'd tackle it, then if I was completely wrong I'd come back here and beg for help. If it makes sense to you, give it a try... Good luck, and you might have the beginnings of a good article here. Keep that in mind...
