console-application

I'd like to be able to let users drag and drop files onto my console app's window so they are not forced to drag'n'drop files onto the app's icon (or link, or even worse write a command line in console). How do I get the list of paths of files I drop onto my app's window? You can just listen for the keyboard. When dragging a file onto a console window the window gets keyboard events as if the file name was entered directly. That's how you can drop a file on a cmd or PowerShell window and get the full file name as if entered directly and it works the same for your own applications too. A

To pass a path with spaces to .NET console application you should escape it. Probably not escape but surround with double quotes: myapp.exe --path C:\Program Files\MyApp` becomes new string[] { "--path", "C:\Program", "Files\MyApp" } but myapp.exe --path "C:\Program Files\MyApp" becomes new string[] { "--path", "C:\Program Files\MyApp" } and it works fine and you can parse that easily. I want to extend the set of parameters given with an addition one and start a new process with the resulting set of parameters: new ProcessStartInfo( Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location, String.Join(" ",

I am working through some examples in a WCF book. There is a Host project and Client project within a single solution. Both are console applications. The Host is the startup app, but the Client app doesn't seem to open the Console like the book says. Book says while the Host is running, run the Client. The Run button is disabled tho as it is already running. The book example definitely has them in the same solution and a single instance of Visual Studio. Anyways, what am I missing here? I have done this with two instances of VS, but I truly have never does this in a single instance. Any help

I have written a console application, which is essentially a Console.ReadLine()-Loop. When the application is waiting for input, pressing the up arrow key iterates through all previous lines of input. My application does not contain any code for this feature. What part of Windows provides this? How can I disable it? I can only image that it's either a feature of the console subsystem or implemented in Console.ReadLine(). Here is some sample code that exhibits the described behavior: namespace ConsoleApplication { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { string input; do { input =

For what its worth, I managed to get a console application to authenticate itself with an existing ASP.NET web application. It just mimics the login page by making a post request to the login page containing the viewstate information (just as if a browser had made the request). It then catches the cookie sent back in response in a CookieContainer. The application then goes on to make multiple requests to the same page (which requires authorization). The page does some work and writes out a file on the server. The problem I'm encountering is that after the phony login, the first two requests go

I am stuck on create new console window for my console application, for logger. That code works fine for GUI apps, but not work for console, and they require: CreateProcess function with the DETACHED_PROCESS flag. Logger Log; DWORD PiD; void __stdcall LoggerCore(PVOID pVoid) { AllocConsole(); while(true) { SetConsoleTitleA(Log.LoggerTittle()); Sleep(5000); } _endthread(); } char* Logger::LoggerTittle() { static char Tittle[55]; sprintf(Tittle, "Debug Logger"); return Tittle; } void Logger::LoggerInit() { CreateThread( 0 , 0 , (LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE) LoggerCore , 0 , 0 , &PiD ); } And that
