Hi,
I can't see anything wrong with the Process code. Are you missing any important command line switches? When the process is started from Windows Explorer does it display a console window?

Yes, when the server is started from Explorer it displays a console window. If a lunch my Form application from the console the output is printed on the console, but what i want is to open a new console and to print the output from the server process on the new console.

I know that get and set is widely used in C#, e.g.
public class test
{
private int a = 2;
public int example
{
get {return a;}
set {a=value;}
}
}
above code is same as (I think)
public class test
{
public int a = 2;
}
but I believe that get/set should have more advantages, anyone can give me one hint for that?
thanks

Because they allow you to perform special handling when a value is set or got. They offload the validation checking away from main methods, keeping the main code 'clean'. Additionally, they let you provide calculated values, so that you don't have to call UpdateProperty() - you can just put the code in the get method. Also, you can properties to interface declarations

I used it in my router project ...
when ever I add router or computer I call the set method like this :
ObjectsCounter.Routers = 5;
here is my code :
class ObjectsCounter
{
private static int routers;
public static int Routers
{
set {
routers += value;
}
get {
return routers;
}
}
}
of course you can call it like that too :
ObjectsCounter.Routers += 5;

Properties have a special use if your making a custom control with custom properties.
#region Color HighlightColor
private Color highlightColor = Color.Yellow;
[DefaultValue(typeof(Color), "Yellow")]
public Color HighlightColor
{
get { return highlightColor; }
set
{
if (highlightColor != value)
{
highlightColor = value;
this.Invalidate();
}
}
}
public bool ShouldSerializeHighlightColor()
{
return highlightColor != Color.Yellow;
}
public void ResetHighlightColor()
{
HighlightColor = Color.Yellow;
}
#endregion
here's one from a control i'm working on... the attribute for defaultvalue and the ShouldSerialize##"Property Name" Reset##"Property Name" functions are specially called by the visual studio ide... so when you have your control on the designer, and you play with a setting... you can do stuff like right click it and hit "Reset"... also the shouldSerialze function is checked for if the designer needs to save that setting to the .designer.cs file. This way the designer doesnt have to serialze a dozen default values... which probably improves performance or whatnot... looks nicer to when you gotta go in the designer file... i forget if the defaultvalue attribute means so when you type a value in the propertygrid, that if its the default value in that attribute, that the ide shows regular font or bold, that you changed it from default,...
So properties are nice if your making a custom control. Otherwise, properties are handy for controlling what comes in and leaves your class...
like have a getOnly type property like:
public int Something {
get { return something; }
}
or here's checking input:
public string SomeOtherThing {
get { return someOtherThing; }
set
{
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(value))
someOtherThing = value;
}
}
.... so i see your point... i mean in C++ the method was with functions to do the same job. So the only advantage of a property is that the IDE can draw a nice little icon when it detects one in your class... like i mean intellisense... other then that, and all programmers already expect to play with properties to set settings, that they have no purpose. Practically a bloated feature if we just look at C# as the language... but ya, their good for the vs.net designer when plopping controls on a form :P

The obvious one is that you can make the set private.

C# is an Object Oriented Language, or at least it purports to be.
get/set, as you call it, or Properties, as they should be called, are a fundamental part of the .NET implementation of the principals of OOP.
Take a look at this[^] for a clearer explanation than I could give in a reasonable space.
You can use C# to program in a non-OOP way but you are better off learning what OOP is all about and trying to adhere to its principals.

... please please please please give me a working code sample that uses SendInput to SIMULATE the movement of a mouse on a x64 vista system:
1. move mouse to screen location 200,100
2. mouse down
3. move the mouse down 12 (to 200,112)
4. mouse up
it seems like such a trivial task but is clearly one that i have not been able to master. i have searched the internet high and low, found a gazillion articles on the subject, tried 9 different samples (all failed), and have spent a minimum of 100 hours on this problem. I've learned a lot but the idea of running 32-bit DLL's on a 64-bit computer is still way over my head ... i need help desperately.
I have been able to get it to work using SetCursorPos and mouse_event but those methods actually steal the mouse from the user and make him VERY grumpy
Thank you oh so VERY MUCH in advance!

Uhh, this is nice and all, but if the user is moving the mouse in the same window that this code is sending messages to, it'll fail to do what you want since the real mouse will be mixing in it's messages with yours. The only way to prevent that is to stop the user from using the mouse at all while you send your mouse messages. Again, a very ugly solution.

yes ... i agree it is ugly. I think by now i have tried ALL the ugly ways of doing it. That is why i posted the plea for help ... i keep hoping for a prettier solution.
Through trial-and-error these past 2 weeks, i have seen the ugly side-effects of many of the researched "solutions" ... none of which were very User-Friendly. Add in the complications of 64-bit hardware with 32-bit DLLs and (for me) the task is daunting.
That is why i posted my plea ... i was hoping that there actually might be a reasonably good way to do it, and that one of the very creative people here would show me how.
Maybe there still is a glimmer of hope, thanks to the time and effort of FocusedWolf, below.

Your only congratulating him becuase he wrote your entire project for you. Too bad too. You've skipped the part where you learn how Windows works internally.
I've already found ways in which that code will break. When your users find them too, have fun trying to diagnose the problems and work around them.

Thank you so very much for your code and time. The MakeLParam code is especially cool. The most valuable info was actually your side comment:
 (i think i had code for sendinput and deleted it because while it worked, it required both focus of the window and ownership of the moues cursor)
... as that indeed makes SendInput a deal breaker.
I have tried SendMessage, and it did work, but as i recall it too had some undesirable side-effects ... hence the desperate plea. Once again, thank you.

Here an assembly with everything :P
http://wolfsfiles.googlepages.com/MouseKeyboardLibrary.zip[^]
Basically it started out as some freely available one i found on the internet, and over time i've been rewriting parts of it to suit my needs... like it didn't come with the sendmessage stuff or the new sendinput stuff i wrote today... Anyways if your interested in trying out sendinput, for the mouse atlesat,... it's in there.
Turns out when i said i tried the send input... it was probably the MouseEvent api i tried... nonetheless i saw it did the same behavior as i said... forcing the cursor to move to a position to click that position.
Was fun to write that... lol SendInput even has compatibility issues with 64bit and 32bit that took a bit of googling to get around.

I was wondering if I could ask a silly question.
Would it be possible to show an example of how to use the .dll with a Visual Basic app?
I understand what it does and everything just never wrote anything is c# and needed a starting point for a VB app i wanted to play with.

If by vb you mean vb.net, then it's really easy to do... just unpack the solution and copy it into your vb.net project... then go into visual studio, load your vb.net project, and then right click on your solution and click "Add Existing Project" and navigate to the project file in the dll project. After you do that, you have to go to your vb.net project, and expand the area called "References", and then a window pops up... click the "Project" tab... the c# project should be listed... add it.
Now what this means is the classes in the c# project should be callable from the vb.net project (although i never tried it... but that functionality is said to exist :P).
----------------
If by vb you mean... old vb... not vb.net... then you'd have to rewrite all of the code to get it to work. I have no real experience with old vb so can't help with that :P
