Attaching to an already running process...

In VB6 we can attach to a running process in memory and transmit information
back and forth. This allows us to have several different applications all
accessing the
same program running in memory.

In VB.NET when we try this it fails. We use the objName.Start(P rocess
Handle) function. It will indicate that the connection was sucessful but
gets no response
from the running process.

Has anybody else run into this issue? Anyone know of a work around?

Hi Does anyone have the code or maybe give me a start on how to detect if my program is already running if someone tries to run it again while it's already running? I know I could do this with a dummy file by putting something in the file while it's running and emptying the file when it's not running, but I was hoping for something a little more professional. Has anyone done this yet? Joe

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,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
