I have written an application that sits in the systray and monitors a database for me. The problem is that this application is stopping some of my clients computers from shutting down, I assume because the app is still running when the computer is trying to shut down.
What I need to know is if there is a way that my application can tell when the computer is shutting down, so that I can close my application and therefore allow the computer to shut down.
I am only running my app on Windows O/S e.g. 2000, XP The application is written in VS 2005, .NET 2 and VB.Net language
Im trying to shut down the other PC on my local network through VB.net.. But whenever I run it.. It always says " CANNOT CREATE ACTIVEX ".. How can i solved this problem? By the way im using Windows XP..
Dim strComputer Do strComputer = InputBox("Please enter the computer name you want to reboot", "Input")
I have a windows forms application that has no form and it runs in the background. It using a webbrowser control to get information off the internet.The program is that when I add the event handler:webbrowser.documentcompleted the program just shuts down. If i put a message box after the event handler then it works just fine because the webrowser has time to load the document. How can I do some like console.readkey that you would do in a console application?
Is it possible to reload a form of the running application from one computer when I executed a function from my other computer with the same application? co'z I want to see the changes of data on my datagrid view?
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.
sometimes, when I use Form.close() when debugging my program, although the form is closed, the application is still running. I noticed this behaviour when using the msgbox function.
I have to create an online application which i can apply it on every employee's computer in my company and i have create the application on visual basic 2008 and SQL 2005 using windows application and database.

Because i have create the application on my computer, must i install SQL on every employee's computer? or any other software i have to used.
I am making a VB .NET application using Visual Studio 2010. I want to know how to open/close ports of the computer. The application will be running in Windows XP only.Actually the thing I want is to close all ports but 80 but also have the ability to open a few more if I need them. Any ideas?

I have designed and published my small created app with WINDOWS FORMS using VB 2010 EXP on Windows 7. I can only install the app on the machine that I used to develop the app.I want to install the app on another computer but I cannot. I usually have error reports.
Example:Unable to install or run this application. This application requires Microsoft Common Language Runtime 4.0.3 to be installed on your computer.
what can I do to be able to install the app on a different computer which does not have .Net and does not have visual basic 2010 installed.
My app is a tray icon which scans the Outlook Inbox periodically. It seems, from testing in my VMWare WinXP machine, that the app stops Windows from shutting down. I press StartShutdown but nothing happens. I have to exit the app first then StartShutdown will shutdown the PC.
I am using WM_QUERYENDSESSION to detect Windows shutting down in my vb.net app, but the complexity is that I need to quickly load a console application during this code to do some cleanup. It is looking like the console application is not even loading, even though I can cause delays in the vb.net code. Is there a way to do this?
I have a program with the line process.start("shutdown", "-s -f -t 00") However, when it's executed, everything exits, and the logging off text appears, then the screen blackens out and there's only the mouse pointer. Nothing can be done like opening the task manager, I just have to shut it down using the main button, holding it for 7 sec.
I'm currently in the process of building a text editor type program, and have run into a brick wall. I haven't done VB in years, so I may just need a little reminder on some things. I have coded everything so far as far as opening files, saving them, changing fonts, colors, etc. However, I'm looking to add a Close button to my menu strip that will just close the currently opened file, and not the entire program, while also ask the user if he/she would like to save before closing the file, and then if they select yes, it will show the save dialog, and if not, it will go ahead and close the currently opened item.
I was in correspondence with someone using my program and he verified that on his system, XP won't shutdown/restart either if my program is running.
Basically what happens is when XP gets to my program in the shutdown process to terminate it, the whole shutdown/restart just stops. I have to exit my program, then start the shutdown again.
The person sent me an image of some threads that were still running after the shutdown process halted and I was curious if anyone might be able to shed some light on this info and what to do about these threads.
These are the threads that are running and what they do: mscoree.dll - a module containing the .NET Framework functions. mscorwks.dll - Microsoft .NET Runtime Common Language Runtime gdiplus.dll - contains libraries for the GDI graphics interface.
pls. I am currently developing a project to monitor client system from the server using Visual Basic 6. my question is How can i list the entire client on the network and possible track each actions on every system and possible shutdown/restart the client remotely from the server
I've build a vb.net windows service which does nothing but ping a wcf webservice and handles sending a maintenance request to this same webservice at night time. It does both tasks using a timer event. If the service does nothing but these two things it says at startup that it's shutting down cause of being idle. The windows service thread needs something todo.[code]....
I try to transfer a vb6 application to vb2010. In the vb6 I start with a login panel that the user enter uid and password autenticate with the DBServer if ok show application main menu and close the login form. the order of the me.close() after the mainform.show() does not change, The application ends.
It all works fine it looks like this:Now thats enough for me but as many other users we have a problem of lack of knowledge when it comes to this:Windows is shutting down, the confirmation box appears and stops the windows from shutting down...This is unnaceptable imho and im trying to find a easy way to detect if windows is shuting down, or in other words if its NOT.So i put a: if windows isnot Shutting down then'all the other code in mybase.closingEnd ifIs such thing doable? all ive found was pages and pages of codes (something to do with api) and some outdated vb6 code...
I wrote a program that is a system tray app that has no user interface. The issue is that when you shutdown, log off, or restart the PC the app does not shutdown and the user has the "End Now" message box pop up.
The only thing running on this app is that it is listening to a port for communication.
I do not have any code in the form closing event as that is what I want just to close.
We have a windows services created in .Net and it was working well. Suddenly it created the attached error and it shuts down the system. We are writing log files also and No error found in log file also
i have a dll file and i need to use it to close/exit/shutdown the application thats using it if that makes sense. i can code something inside the main application that would close it if it receives a specific response from the dll but im trying to minimize the amount of code i need to use within the main application.
could someone please show me how i could shutdown the application from the dll?
