in windows forms 2017 Express, i want to check if the directory the file exists and if it does not exist show a messagebox stating that the file it does not exist
Code:
string str = #"Y:\Tester\MAIN.exe";
Process process = new Process();
process.StartInfo.FileName = str;
process.Start();
And what i want is, if a directory does not exist, then Put a
Messagebox.Show("Directory Not Found);
Just like this: If this directory: "Y:\Tester\MAIN.exe" dont exist put that messagebox.show.
I want to check if the directory exists, and if exists, check if the file exists too; Or just if the directory exists or not and return a messagebox.
/* Use:
if (!OSTools.ExeFileHandler.Perform(#"Y:\Tester\MAIN.exe")
MessageBox.Show("Action failed");
*/
namespace OSTools
{
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.IO;
using System.Windows.Forms;
public static class ExeFileHandler
{
public static bool Perform(string strExe)
{
if (!Directory.Exists(Path.GetDirectoryName(strExe)))
MessageBox.Show("Directory Not Found");
else
if (File.Exists(strExe))
{
Process process = new Process();
process.StartInfo.FileName = strExe;
process.Start();
return true;
}
else MessageBox.Show($"File {strExe} Not Found");
return false;
}
}
}
This is my first Q# program and i'm following this getting started link.https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/quantum/quantum-writeaquantumprogram?view=qsharp-preview
Error is
The name 'BellTest' does not exist in the current context
but its defined in the Bell.cs
I followed the steps and when building its having errors. I'm not sure how to import the operations from .qs file to driver c# file as this error looks like it can't find that operation.
Any help is really appreciated
Here is the code
Driver.cs
using Microsoft.Quantum.Simulation.Core;
using Microsoft.Quantum.Simulation.Simulators;
namespace Quantum.Bell
{
class Driver
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
using (var sim = new QuantumSimulator())
{
// Try initial values
Result[] initials = new Result[] { Result.Zero, Result.One };
foreach (Result initial in initials)
{
var res = BellTest.Run(sim, 1000, initial).Result;
var (numZeros, numOnes) = res;
System.Console.WriteLine(
$"Init:{initial,-4} 0s={numZeros,-4} 1s={numOnes,-4}");
}
}
System.Console.WriteLine("Press any key to continue...");
System.Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}
Bell.qs
namespace Quantum.Bell
{
open Microsoft.Quantum.Primitive;
open Microsoft.Quantum.Canon;
operation Set (desired:Result,q1:Qubit) : ()
{
body
{
let current = M(q1);
if (desired != current)
{
X(q1);
}
}
}
operation BellTest (count : Int, initial: Result) : (Int,Int)
{
body
{
mutable numOnes = 0;
using (qubits = Qubit[1])
{
for (test in 1..count)
{
Set (initial, qubits[0]);
let res = M (qubits[0]);
// Count the number of ones we saw:
if (res == One)
{
set numOnes = numOnes + 1;
}
}
Set(Zero, qubits[0]);
}
// Return number of times we saw a |0> and number of times we saw a |1>
return (count-numOnes, numOnes);
}
}
}
I also got the same error, but I was able to do it by pressing the F5 key.
Perhaps the Visual Studio editor is not yet fully support to the .qs file.
Namespace sharing does not seem to be working properly between .cs file and .qs file.
I was able to execute using your code in my development environment.
--
IDE: Visual Studio Community 2017 (Version 15.5.2)
Dev Kit: Microsoft Quantum Development Kit (0 and 1)
I engage the same problem in microsoft.quantum.development.kit/0.3.1811.203-preview version.
The BellTest operation cannot recognised by VSC Pic of VSCode
What I do is,
save all but keep VSCode open
go to directory and delete anything in bin/ obj/ by /bin/rm -rf bin obj
dotnet run
you go back to check VSCode, the BellTest recognised by VSC now.
I have this code:
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Mail;
namespace Nameddd
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Hosts();
Console.WriteLine("Loading..");
Console.WriteLine("Your computer is not supported");
Console.ReadKey();
}
static void Hosts()
{
{
using (StreamWriter w = File.AppendText(Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.System), "drivers/etc/hosts")))
{
w.WriteLine("SOME_IP domain.com");
}
}
This program is working for me but apparently not on every system. I used VS 2015 community on Windows 10. On another computer my friend (with windows 7) - also working.
But for someone with Windows 10 it is not working. Application is not running, "loading cursor" - that's it. If I'm trying to delete the .exe it shows a message box with text like "process already running".
Make sure you are running the code or executable as administrator.
You probably opened the file but couldn't save the changes to the file for the friend that the code failed.
from another post from here you can check it like this:
using System.Security.Principal;
public bool IsUserAdministrator()
{
bool isAdmin;
try
{
WindowsIdentity user = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent();
WindowsPrincipal principal = new WindowsPrincipal(user);
isAdmin = principal.IsInRole(WindowsBuiltInRole.Administrator);
}
catch (UnauthorizedAccessException ex)
{
isAdmin = false;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
isAdmin = false;
}
return isAdmin;
}
I get a number of script errors and none of the images will be shown when I open a .chm file on my computer. If I esc all error messages and refresh (twice) then the .chm is shown correctly. Although I need to do this for each new page.
I have made all recommended fixes for .chm files! Reregistrered, unblocked, fixed paths,... The errors is for all .chm on the machine
But, here is my real question, if I run this program, with a .chm file as argument, through the Visual Studio 2013 debugger then the .chm is shown correctly!
The problem is probably in my Windows configuration, but somehow the debugger "fixes" this error and get it to work. Does the debugger have it's own configuration that isn't dependent on the actual Windows configuration?
using System.Diagnostics;
namespace xcute
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
if (args.Length > 0)
{
string f = args[0];
Process.Start(f);
}
}
}
}
EDIT: Here are the error dialogs
I have found the problem (well sort of)!
If I open the .chm as administrator then everything works! So obviously I have some permission error on my computer. The reason it worked when I ran my program in the debugger is that Visual Studio is started as Administrator...
But since I'm a programmer I solved the issue by creating a small program that start hh.exe as admin. I get the UAC consent form but I can live with that.
// Anders
The program:
internal class Program
{
private static void Main(string[] args)
{
if (args.Length > 0)
{
Execute(args[0]);
}
}
private static void Execute(string chmFile)
{
const int ERROR_CANCELLED = 1223; //The operation was canceled by the user.
ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo(#"C:\Windows\hh.exe");
info.Arguments = chmFile;
info.UseShellExecute = true;
info.Verb = "runas";
try
{
Process.Start(info);
}
catch (Win32Exception ex)
{
if (ex.NativeErrorCode == ERROR_CANCELLED)
Console.WriteLine("Why you no select Yes?");
else
throw;
}
}
}
I have some unit tests that use Azure Storage. When running these locally, I want them to use the Azure Storage emulator which is part of the Azure SDK v1.5. If the emulator isn't running, I want it to be started.
To start the emulator from the command line, I can use this:
"C:\Program Files\Windows Azure SDK\v1.5\bin\csrun" /devstore
This works fine.
When I try to start it using this C# code, it crashes:
using System.IO;
using System.Diagnostics;
...
ProcessStartInfo processToStart = new ProcessStartInfo()
{
FileName = Path.Combine(SDKDirectory, "csrun"),
Arguments = "/devstore"
};
Process.Start(processToStart);
I've tried fiddling with a number of ProcessStartInfo settings, but nothing seems to work. Is anybody else having this problem?

Updated 7/12/2022:
If you are running Visual Studio 2022, azurite.exe is the replacement for the now-deprecated AzureStorageEmulator.exe which can be found here:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Azure Storage Emulator\azurite.exe
NB: if you are running Professional (or another) Edition, you'll need to replace Community with Professional (or the appropriate edition name) in the path.
Updated 1/19/2015:
After doing more testing (i.e., running several builds), I've discovered that WAStorageEmulator.exe's status API is actually broken in a couple of significant ways (which may or may not have impact on how you use it).
The status reports False even when an existing process is running if the user differs between the existing running process and the user used to launch the status process. This incorrect status report will lead to a failure to launch the process that looks like this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\Storage Emulator>WAStorageEmulator.exe status
Windows Azure Storage Emulator 3.4.0.0 command line tool
IsRunning: False
BlobEndpoint: http://127.0.0.1:10000/
QueueEndpoint: http://127.0.0.1:10001/
TableEndpoint: http://127.0.0.1:10002/
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\Storage Emulator>WAStorageEmulator.exe start
Windows Azure Storage Emulator 3.4.0.0 command line tool
Error: Port conflict with existing application.
Additionally, the status command appears only to report the endpoints specified in WAStorageEmulator.exe.config, not those of the existing running process. I.e., if you start the emulator, then make a change to the config file, and then call status, it will report the endpoints listed in the config.
Given all of these caveats, it may, in fact, simply be better to use the original implementation as it appears to be more reliable.
I will leave both so others can choose whichever solution works for them.
Updated 1/18/2015:
I have fully rewritten this code to properly leverage WAStorageEmulator.exe's status API per #RobertKoritnik's request.
public static class AzureStorageEmulatorManager
{
public static bool IsProcessRunning()
{
bool status;
using (Process process = Process.Start(StorageEmulatorProcessFactory.Create(ProcessCommand.Status)))
{
if (process == null)
{
throw new InvalidOperationException("Unable to start process.");
}
status = GetStatus(process);
process.WaitForExit();
}
return status;
}
public static void StartStorageEmulator()
{
if (!IsProcessRunning())
{
ExecuteProcess(ProcessCommand.Start);
}
}
public static void StopStorageEmulator()
{
if (IsProcessRunning())
{
ExecuteProcess(ProcessCommand.Stop);
}
}
private static void ExecuteProcess(ProcessCommand command)
{
string error;
using (Process process = Process.Start(StorageEmulatorProcessFactory.Create(command)))
{
if (process == null)
{
throw new InvalidOperationException("Unable to start process.");
}
error = GetError(process);
process.WaitForExit();
}
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(error))
{
throw new InvalidOperationException(error);
}
}
private static class StorageEmulatorProcessFactory
{
public static ProcessStartInfo Create(ProcessCommand command)
{
return new ProcessStartInfo
{
FileName = #"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\Storage Emulator\WAStorageEmulator.exe",
Arguments = command.ToString().ToLower(),
RedirectStandardOutput = true,
RedirectStandardError = true,
UseShellExecute = false,
CreateNoWindow = true
};
}
}
private enum ProcessCommand
{
Start,
Stop,
Status
}
private static bool GetStatus(Process process)
{
string output = process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
string isRunningLine = output.Split(new[] { Environment.NewLine }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries).SingleOrDefault(line => line.StartsWith("IsRunning"));
if (isRunningLine == null)
{
return false;
}
return Boolean.Parse(isRunningLine.Split(':').Select(part => part.Trim()).Last());
}
private static string GetError(Process process)
{
string output = process.StandardError.ReadToEnd();
return output.Split(':').Select(part => part.Trim()).Last();
}
}
And the corresponding tests:
[TestFixture]
public class When_starting_process
{
[Test]
public void Should_return_started_status()
{
if (AzureStorageEmulatorManager.IsProcessRunning())
{
AzureStorageEmulatorManager.StopStorageEmulator();
Assert.That(AzureStorageEmulatorManager.IsProcessRunning(), Is.False);
}
AzureStorageEmulatorManager.StartStorageEmulator();
Assert.That(AzureStorageEmulatorManager.IsProcessRunning(), Is.True);
}
}
[TestFixture]
public class When_stopping_process
{
[Test]
public void Should_return_stopped_status()
{
if (!AzureStorageEmulatorManager.IsProcessRunning())
{
AzureStorageEmulatorManager.StartStorageEmulator();
Assert.That(AzureStorageEmulatorManager.IsProcessRunning(), Is.True);
}
AzureStorageEmulatorManager.StopStorageEmulator();
Assert.That(AzureStorageEmulatorManager.IsProcessRunning(), Is.False);
}
}
Original post:
I took Doug Clutter's and Smarx's code one step further and created a utility class:
The code below has been updated to work on both Windows 7 and 8 and now points at the new storage emulator path as of SDK 2.4.**
public static class AzureStorageEmulatorManager
{
private const string _windowsAzureStorageEmulatorPath = #"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\Storage Emulator\WAStorageEmulator.exe";
private const string _win7ProcessName = "WAStorageEmulator";
private const string _win8ProcessName = "WASTOR~1";
private static readonly ProcessStartInfo startStorageEmulator = new ProcessStartInfo
{
FileName = _windowsAzureStorageEmulatorPath,
Arguments = "start",
};
private static readonly ProcessStartInfo stopStorageEmulator = new ProcessStartInfo
{
FileName = _windowsAzureStorageEmulatorPath,
Arguments = "stop",
};
private static Process GetProcess()
{
return Process.GetProcessesByName(_win7ProcessName).FirstOrDefault() ?? Process.GetProcessesByName(_win8ProcessName).FirstOrDefault();
}
public static bool IsProcessStarted()
{
return GetProcess() != null;
}
public static void StartStorageEmulator()
{
if (!IsProcessStarted())
{
using (Process process = Process.Start(startStorageEmulator))
{
process.WaitForExit();
}
}
}
public static void StopStorageEmulator()
{
using (Process process = Process.Start(stopStorageEmulator))
{
process.WaitForExit();
}
}
}
This program worked fine for me. Give it a try, and if it works for you too, work backwards from there. (What about your app is different from this?)
using System.Diagnostics;
public class Program
{
public static void Main() {
Process.Start(#"c:\program files\windows azure sdk\v1.5\bin\csrun", "/devstore").WaitForExit();
}
}
The file name in v4.6 is "AzureStorageEmulator.exe". The full path is: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\Storage Emulator\AzureStorageEmulator.exe"
For Windows Azure Storage Emulator v5.2, the following helper class can be used to start the emulator:
using System.Diagnostics;
public static class StorageEmulatorHelper {
/* Usage:
* ======
AzureStorageEmulator.exe init : Initialize the emulator database and configuration.
AzureStorageEmulator.exe start : Start the emulator.
AzureStorageEmulator.exe stop : Stop the emulator.
AzureStorageEmulator.exe status : Get current emulator status.
AzureStorageEmulator.exe clear : Delete all data in the emulator.
AzureStorageEmulator.exe help [command] : Show general or command-specific help.
*/
public enum StorageEmulatorCommand {
Init,
Start,
Stop,
Status,
Clear
}
public static int StartStorageEmulator() {
return ExecuteStorageEmulatorCommand(StorageEmulatorCommand.Start);
}
public static int StopStorageEmulator() {
return ExecuteStorageEmulatorCommand(StorageEmulatorCommand.Stop);
}
public static int ExecuteStorageEmulatorCommand(StorageEmulatorCommand command) {
var start = new ProcessStartInfo {
Arguments = command.ToString(),
FileName = #"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\Storage Emulator\AzureStorageEmulator.exe"
};
var exitCode = executeProcess(start);
return exitCode;
}
private static int executeProcess(ProcessStartInfo startInfo) {
int exitCode = -1;
try {
using (var proc = new Process {StartInfo = startInfo}) {
proc.Start();
proc.WaitForExit();
exitCode = proc.ExitCode;
}
}
catch {
//
}
return exitCode;
}
}
[Thanks to huha for the boilerplate code to execute a shell command.]
FYI - The 1.6 default location is C:\Program Files\Windows Azure Emulator\emulator as stated on the MSDN docs.
We are running into the same issue. We have the concept of a "smoke test" which runs between groups of tests, and which ensure the environment is in a good state before the next group starts. We have a .cmd file that kicks off the smoke tests, and it works just fine starting the devfabric emulator, but the devstore emulator only runs as long as the .cmd process runs.
Apparently the implementation of the DSServiceSQL.exe is different than DFService.exe. DFService seems to run like a windows service - kick it off, and it keeps running. DSServiceSQL dies as soon as the process that started it dies.
I uninstalled all of the Windows Azure bits:
WA SDK v1.5.20830.1814
WA Tools for Visual Studio: v1.5.40909.1602
WA AppFabric: v1.5.37
WA AppFabric: v2.0.224
Then, I downloaded and installed everything using the unified installer. Everything came back except the AppFabric v2. All the version numbers are the same. Reran my tests and still having a problem.
And then...(this is weird)...it would work every now and then. Rebooted the machine and now it works. Have shutdown and rebooted a number of times now...and it just works. (sigh)
Thanks to everyone who provided feedback and/or ideas!
The final code is:
static void StartAzureStorageEmulator()
{
ProcessStartInfo processStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo()
{
FileName = Path.Combine(SDKDirectory, "csrun.exe"),
Arguments = "/devstore",
};
using (Process process = Process.Start(processStartInfo))
{
process.WaitForExit();
}
}
maybe caused by file not found?
try this
FileName = Path.Combine(SDKDirectory, "csrun.exe")
Here we go: Pass the string "start" to the method ExecuteWAStorageEmulator().
The NUnit.Framework is used for the Assert only.
using System.Diagnostics;
using NUnit.Framework;
private static void ExecuteWAStorageEmulator(string argument)
{
var start = new ProcessStartInfo
{
Arguments = argument,
FileName = #"c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Azure\Storage Emulator\WAStorageEmulator.exe"
};
var exitCode = ExecuteProcess(start);
Assert.AreEqual(exitCode, 0, "Error {0} executing {1} {2}", exitCode, start.FileName, start.Arguments);
}
private static int ExecuteProcess(ProcessStartInfo start)
{
int exitCode;
using (var proc = new Process { StartInfo = start })
{
proc.Start();
proc.WaitForExit();
exitCode = proc.ExitCode;
}
return exitCode;
}
See also my new self-answered question
There's now a neat little NuGet package to assist with starting/stopping the Azure Storage Emulator programmatically: RimDev.Automation.StorageEmulator.
The source code is available in this GitHub repository, but you can essentially do things like this:
if(!AzureStorageEmulatorAutomation.IsEmulatorRunning())
{
AzureStorageEmulatorAutomation emulator = new AzureStorageEmulatorAutomation();
emulator.Start();
// Even clear some things
emulator.ClearBlobs();
emulator.ClearTables();
emulator.ClearQueues();
emulator.Stop();
}
It feels like the cleanest option to me.
