Schedule task in VB.NET

[krallabandi]

Hi,

I have a console application written in VB.NET. I schedule the job
using windows 2000 scheduler. It is all working fine but, its opening a
console when it was running. How to disable the console?

any clues?

Thanks.

This is what you can do to get around your problem:

1) Open VS.NET & choose BLANK SOLUTION
2) Add a module to the project
3) Add references to SYSTEM & SYSTEM.WINDOWS.FORMS.DLL
4) Paste in the following code:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Imports System

Imports System.Diagnostics

Imports System.Windows.Forms

Module Module1

Sub main()

Dim strStartupPath As String = Application.StartupPath

Dim strFileToRun As String = IO.Path.Combine(strStartupPath, "TestApp.exe")

Dim psi As New ProcessStartInfo(strFileToRun)

psi.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden

Process.Start(psi)

End Sub

End Module

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Obviously, I have made it so that you put your console application that you want to run in the same directory as your BIN directory for this blank solution
Set your Task Scheduler to run the blank solution, which will run your application hidden.

I hope this helps
