Re: Calling a .Net console app from IBM i

In your project folder under /bin/Debug.

So for one of my projects, I go to C:\Documents and Settings\USER\My
Documents\Visual Studio
2010\Projects\SendToInternet\PullFromInternet\bin\Debug. (There is also a
"Release" if you compile it as such.

In there I have the calling program PullFromInternet.exe. There are other
files in there too that are most likely needed as well. Put them all in a
location on the target computer and voila! It works!

We do this to schedule tasks on Windows servers.

Mike,
Being new, I'm not sure I follow. Is there something generated by the
build function in VS? Any links that would help me get started to learn
what you're referencing?

What tend to do is find the binary in the source file and put those
file(s) in somewhere so it can be executed. That packaging is a PITA for
a console app that you want to automate.

I have a small console application that I wrote to update some info in

our webstore's sql database from the IBM i system. The application
works great, but I want to let one of our 5250 users to run the app
via a green screen menu. So I want to use RUNRMTCMD to do that. The
issue is that the .Net program was packaged and installed with

ClickOnce.

This is an issue because, besides being new to .Net programming, that
ClickOnce puts apps in some crazy directory structure, and if you
update the app, it will change! So should I redo the package and
install using Windows Installer? Or is the ClickOnce thing usable?
