Invoking apps within VB

Hi,
We have a few apps that we would like to invoke from withing our program.
Suggestions? Should I create a seperate thrread to run the app in.
The idea is to call excel for example from within our vb.exe
Thanks in advance,
Al

No you don't have to use threads... Just use System.Diagnost ics.Process ,
class that should get you to open applications outside of your application,
using this you can call the FilePath or any executable path...

if you are looking to opening excel or word files within your application,
then use the WebBrowser Control

I'm writing an article and I need your informed opinions, so I ask you this: 1. Doesn't the web-enabled app generally run slower for one reason or another? 2. Isn't the fact that application graphics must be limited, just proof of #1, especially with low bandwidth situations? 3. Aren't the web-enabled apps really less feature rich because the developer has to emulate the controls of a thick/fat client app, and sometimes you just can't...

I have several ASP.NET applications that I want to put onto a new website. Each app is currently its own solutions with it's own global.asax, etc.. What is the right way to deploy multiple asp.net applications onto a single website? Does each one just go into a subordinate directory below the main directory which is under wwwroot? Is there a problem with all of the global.asax files? Thanks, Dean

With PHP, libraries, apps, etc. to do basic CRUD are everywhere. Ajax and non-Ajax solutions abound. With Python, finding such library, or apps. seems to be much more difficult to find.

Hello everybody, I´ve got a problem that´s slightly complicated (at least to me it seems) so I will try to state it as clearly as possible. At a certain point in time, I start a second thread that runs one of my functions. The function in this second raises events. As you might know, the eventhandler for this event is executed within this second thread and not within the first. It´s not possible to update properties of a user control...

I'm trying to have a class, which uses threads be able to raise events to the form that created it. I've seen solutions around the net for this, but I didn't really like their implementation. Most involve passing the form into the class, or require a lot of coding. All I really need to do is be able to have my thread call a function within that class which runs on the same thread as the class. I've done this from within forms, but...

Hi John, Hopefully this post will find its way back to you - or perhaps be answered by someone else. As I mentioned in my last post on the earlier portion of this thread, changing the serialization settings for the build handled the initial slows we encountered when invoking the web service. Since that time, we ported the original VB.net code over to C# - this was done to make it cleaner easier to include the project in the rest of...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
