Please provide sample code for using Createprocess in VB.NET. The code I am
using is given below. But I get "Error 91: Object referrence not set to an
instance of the object" at CreateProcess calling line. Please provide some
input.

This is the Visual C++.NET newsgroup, you'll have to look elsewhere for VB
help. Furthermore, that looks like VB6, not VB.NET
For help calling Win32 API functions from .NET, try http://pinvoke.net
For example, here is the CreateProcess page with sample code: http://pinvoke.net/default.aspx/kern...teProcess.html

Hi,
I try to start a process on windows using win32process.CreateProcess and
want to to redirect the output. I set the STARTF_USESTDHANDLES flag in the
STARTUPINFO structure. But I can not figure out, how to get the pipes
working. My app either deadlocks or displays the error messag:
....
print win32file.ReadFile(readStdOut,10)
pywintypes.error: (109, 'ReadFile', 'The pipe has been ended.')

Would be grateful of advice please. I have code in VB6 working as follows:
lngReply = CreateProcess(sNull, txtStart, ByVal 0&, ByVal 0&, 1&, _
NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS, ByVal 0&, sNull, sInfo, pInfo)
but alas, the 'equivelant' vb.Net code translated as:

in VB6 the api declares the createprocess lbEnv var as any. When converted to
..NET is change the type any to Object. The problem is, what kind of object. I
can not get the env variables set when excuting a process with createprocess.
I dont know if its the fact that VB.NET doesnt support null terminated
strings, or if its createprocess that is creating the problem.
I need example code, executing an console/dos exe, in its own environment...

Hello, please someone have the working code on how to call the CreateProcess

I need to call the CreateProcess API directly and i should not use the

This is my code wich i transalated from Vb6 to Vb.Net:

I am trying to create a process at a particular set of coordinates (for
example 1,1) but the CreateProcess api seemingly ignores the settings in the
dwX and dwY properties of the STARTUPINFO structure which I have initialized
as follows:
STARTUPINFO si;
ZeroMemory((PVOID)&si, sizeof(si));
si.cb = sizeof(si);
si.dwFlags = STARTF_USEPOSITION;
si.dwX = 1;

I want to fork a new process and my executable binary is stored inside
somewhere. Is there any possible way to fork a process using CreateProcess
API without writing to the disk first? Like let's say I want to create a

data cause I want to prevent my program executable module from being stolen..

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
