View 3 RepliesI only know how to add your program to windows task scheduler to schedule automatic execution but what if you wanted to have a particular thread run on a weekly schedule. Someone mentioned windows powershell for all these types of scripting; but it seems too hard to learn on short notice.

View 3 RepliesI have been working for some time on a service that will act as a task scheduler and perform a shutdown action at one of 3 given shutdown times. Before you cringe and ask why not use the task scheduler, I should explain that permissions do not allow users to "create" scheduled tasks and therefore a creative work-around is required. In any case, I am still new to VB, but am including my code below. I want the service to check an alarm time every minute and launch a shutdown application (in the user's context - if logged in) if that time is NOW.

View 2 RepliesI'm upgrading from Windows XP 32-bit to Windows 7 64-bit, and I'm using VB in VS 2008. Under XP, I used the Task Scheduler to run a program at 3pm every weekday, and it ran fine. Now in W7, when the Task Scheduler runs the programs, it encounters an exception when it gets to the code MyForm.ShowDialog(). The error is:
System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled
Message="Showing a modal dialog box or form when the application is not running in UserInteractive mode is not a valid operation. Specify the ServiceNotification or DefaultDesktopOnly style to display a notification from a service application."

When I run the program from a shortcut with the same parameters as in the Task Scheduler (i.e. the shortcut runs the .exe file with some paramters after it), it runs fine, so I'm guessing there is some setting in the Windows 7 Task Scheduler I need to set, but I can't find it. I've tried checking "Run with highest privledges" (and unchecking it), but that didn't help. I have tried it with the "Hidden" box unchecked and checked and that didn't help. I've also tried it with "Configure for" set either way (Windows 7 or Vista). So how do I get rid of this error?
I have set up several tasks on a new installation of Windows 7 and they are working as expected.But when I attempted to run a batch file it fails. It works fine from the command line and I can run it from the scheduler on Windows XP manually (although not on the timer yet).What is about batch files that I need to know to make them run from the Task Scheduler?

View 6 RepliesSo I wrote a VB.net project in Visual studio.I have a scheduled task that is set to run the program every morning at 10AM. If I use windows explorer and double click the application, it runs fine.If I open task scheduler, open the task properties, and browse to the application, then choose run, the program fails, due to Runtime exceptions.I know I have the path entered correctly, since I can debug the instance when it crashes from the task scheduler. VS2010 pulls up my source code.The exception is System.IO.FileNotFoundException, remember, it works fine when I double click the app. If attach a debugger to the process after it is executed from the task scheduler, I can then restart the debugger, and Voila!, The application runs fine.

View 10 Replieswhat I would like to do is create a program that runs in the task bar next to the time. What I want this to do is listen for the key stroke combo of CTRL-ALT-T no matter what program they are in. When they hit this key stroke I want the program to do is hide the task bar on the bottom of the screen. you know how you can change the hight to two rows one row and so on but you can also drag it down so it has no rows and can't see it. Then when they hit CTRL-ALT-T it will then display the task bar with what ever the hight wa set to. Just don't know what direction to go to do this.

View 4 RepliesWhat is the Best way to create scheduler ?
I can think two ways,
1) to create endless loop that keep checking for time of day, so if i have an event (stored in my DB) that should be execute @ 14:30 the loop will compare in every loop the current time against the DB time so when the current time will be 14:30 the event will be executed
2) the same as above just using Timer instead of endless loop.
the problem is that both methods seems to be inefficient because at least 95% of the checks will be for no use.
so is there any methods or some way in VB.NET to raise an event in a specific hour without keep checking the current hour every second ?

View 1 RepliesI need some clarification. I'm planning to make a Scheduler program where it will fetch data from a MS Access Database, and I also want it to upload the data to a web server (MySQL Database) in JSON Format.
In the first process which is the fetching, I'll use System.Data.Ole.db namespace. This namespace mostly worked in MS Access. In the 2nd process which is the uploading, I am planning to use FTP protocol and should be JSON Format.
I was just confused with the second step, is FTP protocol applicable for this process?
I will make an Android apps to view all the data that will be saved on the web server.

I was wondering how to set a task in my program, For example if the user selects to take a screenshot on a chosen date and time the program would take that screenshot at the specified date and time. I have a DateTimePicker for my users to select a specific date and time to run the task. Since the date and time includes the date i don't think i can use a timer. And FX Cop said that timer intervals shouldn't be longer then a minute.
