I just want to shut down my computer, but seems like nothing works. I'm using Visual Basic 2008 with Windows 7.[code]...
The only thing that happens, is that the program looses focus, then several more instances of the program is created. Are there some particular restrictions in Windows 7 that prevents shutting down the computer?
I've noticed that a few download management programs do this, like uTorrent for example, where you can set it to shut down the system when the download(s) complete and I would like to implement this in my app as well.Right now I'm usingProcess.Start("shutdown.exe", "-s -t 05")which works fine if the user is logged in, but my home computer has the screen saver set to lock the computer in which all my app does is exit but the system doesn't shut down like it does when it's logged in.

View 2 RepliesIn uTorrent the system shuts down whether the user is logged in or the system is locked, how is that possible?Also I would like to know how to detect if the system is locked or not because if they are logged in I, like uTorrent, would like to prompt the user that the system is about to shut down and give them 30 seconds to cancel it.
In addition to
Process.Start("shutdown.exe", "-s -t 05")

I've recently started using visual basic express 2008 and am having problems with saving my project. Basically, the data sources keep dissapearing from the project when i have shut down my computer and come back to the project at a later time. This has happened to my project several times now and is getting quite irritating as i don't seem to beable to find a resolution to the issue.I could continue developing my application without having to re write the code constantly.

I'm trying to do a little project with an embedded board and XP embedded OS to control a little machine. The board will have no monitor, so I need a little routine that when a key is pressed on the keyboard, it invokes a proper Windows shutdown.I want to have the letter "Z" trigger the action. I've found that the sequence I want to run is ultimately this
Code:
SHUTDOWN -s -t 01
I'll put the routine in the start folder so that it's always in the background waiting for "Z", but is there anything else that has to be done since the machine controller software will be the "active" program?

View 1 RepliesI work in IT in a firm that are rolling out a time management application on all PCs. In order to clock in/out a user must log into the application and click clock in/out. I want to build a very simple application that when a user goes to shut down or log out of their PC, a windows form will pop up asking them if they they want to clock out of the time management software (a reminder if they have forgotten to clock out and are heading home). On the form there will be two buttons, 'yes' and 'no'. If they click yes, the system shutdown or log off will be halted and the time management software application will open automatically. If they click no, the shutdown/logoff will proceed as normal. I just need to know what i need to do to get the system shutdown/logoff to stop until either button is pressed and to stop totally if the 'yes' button is pressed. I am able to get the Time Management software to run on a button click but just not able to halt the shutdown or logoff?

View 1 Repliesi have a task to create a TCP Server (a program that is listening on its network card interfaces for incoming data stream).I have search on the internet and i found that i can use two methods : Socket or TCPListener class.I have created an example for Socket class, but i wondering how could i test it? I need to check that if another computer in the network send some string data to the listener computer , then this message should be displayed.Here is the example from microsoft that i am using for TCP Server using Socket:
Public Shared Sub Main()
' Data buffer for incoming data.
Dim data = nothingc[code]....
But it does not work because of the PORT setting.If in the TCP Server i have "Dim localEndPoint As New IPEndPoint(ipAddress, 0)" the client crashes, but if i change the port from any (0) to 11000 for example,the client works fine.Do you know why?
Later edit2:Maybe i should have started with this question:Which method is recommended for my scope?asynchronous or synchronous method ?
I am developing a computer application designed to monitor the network and CPU statistics on a computer remotely. The monitored computer would have my program installed and the monitoring computer would display, in a form, the information being sent from the remote client.The application does not send any information regarding packets, user names, passwords, etc. It is solely meant for monitoring CPU performance and Network resources remotely.
What would be the best method to send this information over to my host machine?I am programing in Visual Studio 2008 on windows XP. The client machine is also XP. I know this sounds a little shady, but it is required for my little business (http://www.iquorum.net) to monitor what and when something happens on our machines when I and my employees are away.

View 6 RepliesI have a desktop computer with a cable connection on the back that allows me to watch TV on the computer using Windows Media Center. I had the idea of writing a program that would access this feed and send it to another computer (laptop) via my network. That way I would be able to watch TV from anywhere that my network spans. I have no idea if this is possible or how I would even do it,
So I have three questions.
1: Is it possible?
2: How would I go about access the feed?
3: How would I send it over the network?
My original thought was doing it in Flash, but I'm not very good at Flash so I wanted to do it in VB.Net.
