• CodeDjinn try,catch, end try problem

  Since 2002 I've been using try, catch, end try just like all of you have.  I have many completed projects where it worked fine. Right now I've been reading a book of generics and started an example.  For the first time, I typed try, pressed enter and got the usual Try Catch ex As Exception End Try The problem is Exception is underlined and says a type is expected.  If I substitute a particular exception it works fine, but Exception itself demands a type. I opened up an old project and Exception wasn't underlined.  Below the block I type try pressed enter and Exception was accepted. Just as a test in the new example project I added a new windows form.  Here's the code Public Class ...Show All

Object , ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ToolStripButton1.Click    PrintDialog1.ShowDialog() End Sub   The printDialog has to be made active by clicking once before making any print options.

• Srikanth Ramakrishnan Call EXE method from DLL

  Hi Is there a way that I can call a method in an EXE (managed code, VB.NET) from a .NET DLL by passing a reference to the instance of the EXE Multiple instances of EXE might be running and loaded in memory and I need the DLL to invoke a method within the running instance by passing a reference (such as the application title, window handler etc). In case you are wondering why the DLL is calling the EXE method and not the other way around, it is because this DLL is like a wrapper class and the method that invokes the method in the EXE is actually called from an Access VBA module. TIA I hadn't looked into that. That's actually the kind of lead I was hoping to get. However, I found an easier way. (though a bit of a hack) In the N ...Show All

• Wayne Sepega How do I user VB.NET to Open Command Prompt, Call .bat File, and Send Parameters to .bat file?

  Greetings, I am Creating an ASP.NET application that our users may go to to unlock a locked out computer. Once the user supplies the IP Address and UserName they click the unlock button. The button Runs VB.Net code that takes the IP Address and UserName, looks at the first 2 octets of the IP and from that chooses which .bat file to run. All of that works great. The problem I am having is when I try to open the command prompt to call the .bat file nothing happens. I've searched and found many helpful ways but none seem to support passing the IP and UserName to the .bat file. the .bat file calls a .vbe that logs onto the remote computer as admin and then calls another .bat which calls the unlocking .vbe This is about the only way w ...Show All
