System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt.....


I'm having problems with System.Diag here. When I double click the item (on
my desktop), it launches in Windows Fax and Picture Viewer, but when I try
to launch it from my VB program, I get the following exception:

"A first chance exception of type 'System.Compone ntModel.Win32Ex ception'
occurred in system.dll

Additional information: No application is associated with the specified file
for this operation"
I'm writing this:

System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt("C:\Document s and
Settings\R.Tuck er\Desktop\came ra.jpg")

Some items do launch ok, but for some reason .JPG files don't. Does
explorer look for this kind of thing explicitly and display it with the fax
and picture viewer if a default viewer is not registered?

Thanks for any answers.

Open up an explorer window,

Go to Tools / Folder Options

Click on the FileTypes tab, and see if JPG is associated with anything, and
then check the parameters associated with it.

I am trying to start a process from a windows service but when the process starts the command window that the process runs in never shows. Is this because I am calling it from a windows service? Is there something else that I need to do? Here is my code: System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo info = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();

I am using the code below to map network drive and then fire up an app in a sub dir of that drive.

Hello folks, I'm using System.Diagnostics.Process to start a thirdparty program (that works perfectly when started via command line). I'm using Process.StandardOutput to get the output of the program. That works for 95 %, but the other 5 % it doesn't. It seems to me that the started process just hangs, and therefor my program hangs, too (p.WaitForExit()). I researched that this only happens when the output of the program is longer than...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
