Computer Shutdown By Button?

Feb 23, 2011

I've written a program which I propose to give a local club, which sadly may be'attractive' to pirates so I propose to build in some sort of anti-copying feature.My idea is to hide a file in a folder somewhere in the club's laptop, then on program start up I'll check to see if that file exists and if it's not there, which it's unlikely to be on a pirates machine, I'll flag up a message box saying that if they have a legitimate reason to install the program on a different machine they'll have to contact myself.By way of nuisance value, pressing the 'OK' button on the message box will cause the machine running, what I'm assuming is a pirated copy, to shut down.I've been looking at the VB.NET forum and MSDN for ideas as to how to achieve this and the general opinion seems to be:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Process.Start("shutdown", "-s")

[code].....

Nov 26, 2009

all of a sudden my program just doesn't seem to work like it used to.[code]It searches the picture box for the color that you tell it to, and it moves and clicks the mouse at that pixel. Well... it used to do that, now it just locks up and won't respond for about 20 seconds.

Make 1 Button Add A Computer Shortcut In A Menu?

Mar 4, 2011

In my program I am trying to make a button that would add a shortcut to activate a running application by a process ID. In a form I have 2 text-boxes 1 for the name of the shortcut that would be shown in the tool-strip-menu-item. Then the other for the process name. Then when the user presses a button I would like the text of the text-box for the name to be added to a tool-strip-menu-item, then the other text-box used for the Process ID to be added to the fallowing code: (the tool-strip-menu-item is in another form)

Dim processID As Integer
processID = Shell("Process ID
", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)

Send Keystrokes To A Computer If A Button Is Pressed?

Mar 10, 2012

I wrote program that will send keystrokes to a computer if a button is pressed. The button is wired to a db9 connector and plugged into the pc. The program works, except I can not figure out how to detect if the cable gets unplugged. I am monitoring the CD pin change event to send keystrokes, but if the cable is not plugged in then I need it to send a messagebox.

Button Click To Download EXE Or Zip File From CD To User's Computer

Oct 21, 2009

I'm creating a CD that when inserted into a CD-Rom will AutoRun, which brings up the program starting with a splash screen, then the first window form. All this works, no problem. On the first window form I have a button (one of many) all buttons work (so far) except this one button. (I actually haven't test3d the buttonjs to see if they work on / from a CD yet, but they work in Debug).

I would like to have the user click the button, and have that button be tied to a zip file or an exe file that is in a folder on my CD, that will be downloaded to the user's computer. I would like the usual window to come up asking the user where the user would like to save the file, the user will choose the folder, click the save button and the file downloads from the CD to the hard drive of the user's computer, so the user can open it later. It doesn't have to Run from the CD, it is just to download to be accessed later.

Some files will be a Zip and others are Exe files that I would like to have downloaded to the user's PC by way of a button click. Of course the user's computer will need to be able to know which drive the CD is in.

This is what I've tried and doesn't seem to work...Have not tried it from directly from CD (Haven't tried anything directly from the CD as of yet, but after this problem my next step is try and make a AutoRun CD and test the program).

Process.Start(Application.StartupPath &
"SoftwareApp1.zip")

I'll start another post for How to Make my Program ready for a CD. I think it may involve Publishing...but publishing only made a setup.exe, which is Not what I want.

How can I make a program so you click a button and select a File using a OpenFileDialog and click send on your computer and it will send the file to a different computer and then a SaveFileDialog will show asking where to save the file on the other computer. Oh ya I cant use WinSock or whatever becuase im using Windows Vista 64 Bit. I need it because I for some reason cant use printer sharing. It might be because im on A 64bit Vista Machine and I want to print a file off of a 32bit XP Home Machine.

Sockets - Check That If Another Computer In The Network Send Some String Data To The Listener Computer?

Mar 19, 2012

i 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 ?

Developing A Computer Application Designed To Monitor The Network And CPU Statistics On A Computer?

Jan 29, 2009

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.

VB - Desktop Computer With Cable Connection On Back Allows To Watch TV On Computer Using Windows Media Center

Jun 12, 2010

I 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.
