Hy guys,
I am trying to develop a lighting control application. I know that there are a lot out there but I like programming and I like lighting equipment.
But I want to put my command controlling to my controller in a second app to get the load off my UI. Does anyone know how to do something like this. The command controller app needs to expose events and data.
I hope someone can give me a hint or something.

I'd use some preferences file or registry to store some arguments for another app.
Use first one to process.start(app2);
Or even create a service that will handle it, while managing preferences file/registry with gui app1.

How can you create a service and how does is work. Do you know a good article about it or something? Or example?

This is a nice msdn walkthrough of creating and running windows services:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dv_vjsharp/html/vjwlkWalkthroughCreatingWindowsServiceApplicationInComponentDesignerWithVisualJ.asp
As for controling another process:
Process[] proc = Process.GetProcessesByName("explorer");
foreach (Process pr in proc)
{ pr.Kill();}
this code would stop all explorer instances... and so on 
This one would start your app2:
Process.Start("C:\\Path_to_your_app2\\app2.exe");
and eventually kill it:
Process[] proc = Process.GetProcessesByName("app2");
foreach (Process pr in proc)
{ pr.Kill();}
good luck and have fun.
P.S. forgot to mention you nedd System.Diagnostics for this to work

What you really want to do, is get a thread doing all your hardcore work, apart from your main thread, which will handle the UI

You totaly get it. Like a working thread. But I thought it would be better to put it in a seperate app. Maybe I can just start a thread and invoke my events from that and do it that way.
The worker thread send tcp messages almost 20 times a second to the dmx controller. At least that is the rate the controller updates. I have to get his state back and I get his state by requesting it.
Maybe I have to do it a different way.

If you're worried about the load on your UI, you should really remove the actual implementation into a separate worker thread. In windows forms, it's best practice to use the UI for what it is, and have the actual event handlers validate the data before sending the actual processing to another thread.
Remoting would be a good way to move your load off to another application, but if you need "events", you're in for a seriously rough learning curve.

hi
if we try to create a setup it will have three files .msi,.exe and .ini file
But i want only one Setup.exe.......... please help me
My small attempt...
|

We use Inno Setup in our company - it's excellent tool. You can start with ISTool which will guide you through setup script creation (wizard) and then you can advance to your own scripting.
Default output is a single .exe file.

There is a problem there - I have this (not)working code. Problem is that GetData().Select() doesn't retrieve data for me, while if I add something like messageBox.Show(rows[0][1].ToString()) it suddenly works!
So, does that mean, program isn't able to retrieve information from tableadapter in time?
I tried adding Thread.Pause(1000) - process stops, but still no data...
Enybody have some ideas?
Oh, and I'm running Vista x64, can that be a problem source?
private void textBox3_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (textBox3.Text.Length == 11)
{
textBox3.Text = kod.DeSifruoti(textBox3.Text); // changes some parts of text string in textbox3
DataRow[] rows = darbuotojaiTableAdapter1.GetData().Select("ID LIKE '"+ ((textBox3.Text)).Substring(0,5) +"%'");
label18.Text = rows[0][1].ToString() + " " + rows[0][2].ToString();
}
}

turns out CTRL+V are two key up events

hi
any plz help me
how can i send data to parallel port in VC#.Net 2003 and framework 1.1
prem

There's no built in support, I believe that the file inpout.dll is what you need ( that's what I used to read a custom controller via the parallel port in .NET 1.1 )
