Keyboard reading in console applications

I'm writing a console application as part of a college course. Up until now I've been using the cs1.Keyboard package that is widely available to newbies.
Trouble is that it requires "enter" to be typed after anything before it registers any of the keystrokes.
I want a method that will just simply wait for a keypress and return the char when one happens.
I understand that this could be done with an eventListener in an applet, but can it be done in a console application? and if so how?
cheers

The thing you are asking for would require ioctl calls to alter the console's
TTY configuration. This functionality is not implemented in Java. The JNI
call is the only solution (probably an overkill for such a simple thing).
I suggest that you move to GUI or accept the workaround (i.e require users
to type ENTER after each input)

Read only access to Console Application ...

We have deployed development best practice examples in one WLS instance. So, all
developer can run our sample examples. All developer doesn't have admin privileges.
Some times, developer would like to get "READ ONLY " access to console application.
They can see JDBC / JMS / connection pool information.
Is it possible to allow READ ONLY Access to CONSOLE application ?
TIA

I don't think this is possible in the current release.

Getting error while creating SPSite object in console application

Hi,
I am getting error "The Web application at
http://myWebApp/sites/siteCol could not be found. Verify that you have typed the URL correctly. If the URL should be serving existing content, the system administrator may need to add a new request URL mapping to the intended application." whenever
I try to execute the below code in my console application.
SPSite oSite = new SPSite("sitecolUrl");
I tried to change the platform target to AnyCpu,
I tried to wrap it with SP.RunWithElevatedPrivileges
but all above didn't solve the error.
Any suggestions?

Hello,
instead of targetting "any cpu" target x64 and be sure to target .net 3.5 (I made a post about it it could help you

Getting Error while Execute SSIS Package from Console Application

Dear All,
SSIS package working fine directly.
I got following error while execute SSIS package from C# console application.
The connection "{79D920D4-9229-46CA-9018-235B711F04D9}" is not found. This error is thrown by Connections collection when the specific connection element is not found.
Cannot find the connection manager with ID "{79D920D4-9229-46CA-9018-235B711F04D9}" in the connection manager collection due to error code 0xC0010009. That connection manager is needed by "OLE DB Destination.Connections[OleDbConnection]"
in the connection manager collection of "OLE DB Destination". Verify that a connection manager in the connection manager collection, Connections, has been created with that ID.
OLE DB Destination failed validation and returned error code 0xC004800B.
One or more component failed validation.
There were errors during task validation.
Code :

Are you sure that you are running the same package via .NET which works fine from Visual Studio?
By reading error message, I can say that you have copied OLEDB task from another package OR you have deleted one OLEDB connection manager. Now when package is run this task tries to use the connection manager and not found thus throws error message.
Open all OLEDB destination tasks and you find connection manager missing. Connection Manager name should be provided there

C# console application closes on it's own as soon as it opens

Hello to all of you.
I know this is a very common problem but there seems to be no solution for me so far.
The known problem that right after build and start debugging, terminal opens and closes like a flush.
Have Tried the below already:
Console.ReadLine();
Console.ReadKey();
System.Console.ReadLine();
System.Console.ReadKey();
Ctrl+F5
Start without debugging
and a couple more.
Went to settings to see if console application was enabled (which it was).
It was working fine until this noon,when I was working on my exercise and using always "Console.ReadLine();" in order for the window to
remain open, but all of the sudden it did not work for me anymore.
I have to say at this point that not a single change was done in my laptop. I also restarted just in case, but nothing's changed.
Furthermore I use version VS express windows desktop 2013 with update 4 and also Vs express windows 2013 with update 4.
Please help me and thank you very much for taking the time to read this.

Is the code you're trying to debug in a source code file which is specified as part of the
project being built/run?
A common mistake is to open a new source code file in the IDE, add code, then try to run
or debug it. If the new source code file isn't listed as part of the active project
in
the Solution Explorer window, then it will not get compiled and added to the project's
target (.exe). So what gets executed/run doesn't include the code on the screen in the
IDE editor.

New install of VS 2013 on new Windows 8.1 PC, simplest C++ 64-bit console application, unable to bind breakpoints

Hi,
    I have a new Dell Desktop PC, running Windows 8.1. I have a fresh install of VS 2013 Professional, I created the simplest C++ console application. If I set the breakpoints before debug starts, everything is fine. but
once inside a debug session, I can't not set any breakpoints anyway, it keeps give me the "The following breakpoint cannot be set: At xxx.cpp, line 19, The breakpoint failed to bind." It seems the debugger wasn't able to load the symbols correctly,
but the output windows looks all right.
    Can anyone please help? I can't do any debugging now... Thanks! My email [email protected]

Since it is a simple console application, would you mind sharing us that sample and the steps to reproduce this issue? We will test it on ourside.
To confirm whether this issue is related to visual studio, you could test it in another machine which also insatlled VS2013 to test.
In addition, before you test it in another machine, I would recommend you make sure whether you have installed the latest update for VS2013.

Which is better approach to manage sharepoint online - PowerShell Script with CSOM or Console Application with CSOM?

Which is better approach to manage sharepoint online - PowerShell Script with CSOM or Console Application with CSOM?
change in sharepoint scripts not require compilation but anything else?

Yes, PowerShell is great, since you can quick change your code without compilation.
SP admin can write ps scripts without specific tools like Visual Studio.
With powershell you can use cmdlets,
which could remove a lot of code, for example restarting a service.

Clearly the remote EXE cannot run in that context. YOU should not run that program remotely.
I suspect there is also information you are not giving to us.

How to start a Kinect v2 in a C++ Console Application?

Hello,
I am fairly new at this, I only have basic C++ experience just making console applications. My question is, is there any way to get a console application working with Kinect 2.0. I was reading the Programming Guide on MSDN for the Kinect v2, but
the code seems to be completely different in the samples provided. I cannot seem to link Visual Studio with the Kinect Sensor, Visual Studio does not pick up the #include header files. Help!

There are ways, but you still need to use the COM api's provided by the SDK. The code is the same whether using D2D or Win32 for c++. Have a look at the sample code to get started. Most of the samples using a polling mechanism which should work
for most console applications.
If you want a more simplified (flat c) based api, you might want to try Kinect Common Bridge(KCB) as a wrapper around the core SDK.

Which solution is better for schedules task? Console application or windows service?

I have a "MULTI-LEVEL" XML file that I will be getting on daily basis and I want to accomplish following tasks:
1) I have to read and parse the "MULTI-LEVEL" XML data
2) Then I have to set or create some kind of .net service (c#) that read the xml and parse the data once a day (daily)?
3) Now I have SOAP service from other software where I want to feed this XML data to. The schedules service will compare the XML data with software data and update (or add) based on the comparision.
For this task, I come to conclusion that there are 2 best ways to do this:
1) Create a console application and use windows task scheduler to run it everyday
2) Create a windows service that runs in the background
Which is a better way (or reliable) solution to do this task? Please advise

There are several things to keep in mind when writing an app that is designed to run without a user logged in. One of the most common mistakes is requiring some sort of user input. Since the task will run without user intervention you don't want
any sort of calls to Console.ReadLine, MessageBox.Show, etc. They will cause the task to freeze and eventually need to be terminated. You also don't want to rely on any sort of desktop apps running since a user may or may not be logged on at the
time.
Also be aware that a task can be scheduled to run under any user context. As such you either need to ensure it runs under an account with sufficient privileges or that your app needs no special privileges. You mentioned you tried to run it from
bin\debug but you most likely have your project under your Documents directory. Only you would have permissions to that folder and therefore will run into issues if the task is run under a different context. You also mentioned you put it in the
C:\ but users don't have write privileges to that folder and therefore if you tried to write a file out it would fail. If you need to read/write files then you should pick a common location that all users have access to or at least the one that will run the
scheduled task. Be aware that, by default, Task Scheduler will not run a task elevated. You need to check the option to run elevated when you configure the user to run the task under.
One of the key things to ensure you do with a task is verify it is working properly as a normal app. You should also ensure that you have good logging so that if it does fail you can trace down the failure more easily. One common thing that people
tend to do in console apps is put a try-catch around the main function and display a message if an unhandled exception occurs. This is going to cause problems in a task. Simply log the exception and rethrow it so Task Scheduler will flag the run as a
failure.
If you still cannot figure out why your task is failing then please add some logging and then tell us what code is being run at the time and what the failure is.

Use sql notification for console application C#

I have developed ucma C# console application which sends IM to users.
Now I want to send IM if any new entry is added in the table
So i want to use query notification .
I have enabled service broker on my database .
And I have added code for sqldepedency in my code file.
as follows.
public static void Main(string[] args)
UCMASampleInstantMessagingCall ucmaSampleInstantMessagingCall =
new UCMASampleInstantMessagingCall();
ucmaSampleInstantMessagingCall.connectionfunction();
public void connectionfunction()
string connectionString = @"Data Source=PIXEL-IHANNAH2\PPINSTANCE;User ID=sqlPPUser;Password=ppuser1;Initial Catalog=Ian;";
SqlDependency.Stop(connectionString);
SqlConnection sqlConnection = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
string statement = "select * from dbo.tblTest";
SqlCommand sqlCommand = new SqlCommand(statement, sqlConnection);
// Create and bind the SqlDependency object to the command object.
SqlDependency dependency = new SqlDependency(sqlCommand, null, 0);
SqlDependency.Start(connectionString);
dependency.OnChange += new OnChangeEventHandler(dependency_OnChange);
private void dependency_OnChange(object sender, SqlNotificationEventArgs e)
ucmaSampleInstantMessagingCall.run()
private void Run() { // Initialize and startup the platform. Exception ex = null; try { // Create the UserEndpoint _helper = new UCMASampleHelper(); _userendpoint = _helper.CreateEstablishedUserEndpoint();
Now I want to run this application in the background , so f any new entry is added it will notify my C# application and call run function.
i tried above code but it was not working.
Sample code is avaliableon net but it is for form application and we can see output if we run the form application .
so if i want to run my C# application what should I do?

Console Application to run with window open

Hi Guys
I have a Console Application that I wrote and it working perfectly when I run it manually. It can create report using Crystal Reports, exports to PDF and then print.
My challenge was when I ran it as a task, the reports are created but its not printing, my default PDF view is Adobe.
How can I run my app with the Window open because I think that's causing it not to print
Brian

After doing some searches it turned out the issue I had was with Adobe Reader XI, when run from Task Manager it always gives problems so.
I ended up using PDF XChange Viewer for printing and I can now print my PDFs with no Windows popoing up. I installed the free Viewer and call it from my code to print.
Process.Start("C:\Program Files\Tracker Software\PDF Viewer\pdfxcview.exe", " /print:printer=""" & PrinterName & """ """ & pdfFileName & """")

Calling Console Application that uses WebBrowser from SQL Server - Not Running

Hi there. I am working in a program automation that needs to get files from a website and put it in a database. It is done but as I need a console application and need webbrowser that comes from Windows Forms, I am trying to call it from the SQL Server using
the xp_cmdshell but when it runs the .exe, it execute the block that is before the Application.Run() command but when it reaches this line, it stay running on Task manager but it not execute my code. How can I fix this? I had first created a Windows form application
but it was not working anyway and then I tried a console application and then I use the [STAThread] and Application.Run(). At least it runs the file from SQL Server but is not executing all my code, I think that it stops on Application.Run() line. Any help
will be very useful.
Thanks for now.

Thanks for the response. What I mean is that it just run the part of the code that is just using the Console, that's the code:
// Main Method
[STAThread]
public static void Main()
clearDatabase(myConnection);
Console.Title = "Suframa Itens Robot";
//If log file exists, it is deleted
if ( File.Exists(@"suframaLog.txt") )
File.Delete(@"suframaLog.txt");
wb.DocumentCompleted += new WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventHandler(loginWebsite);
try
//It is called as the program uses the WebBrowser Class from Windows Forms namespace
//and it is a console Application
Application.Run();
catch ( Exception ex )
Log(ex.Message);
As you can see, I call a function on start named ClearDatabase, when I call the file from sql server it executes, the tables are cleared, but what I think is that the problem stop when reach the line Application.Run() as it is the line that allows the remaining
code to execute as it uses events from WebBrowser class.
It is a program automation that needs to get a lot of files from a website that needs login and read line by line from the files and put on server, if I call it from the executable it runs fine, the only problem is when calling from SQL Server, Do you know
how to fix this?
Thanks.
