Does anyone know of a way to detect recent activity in a VB.net windows forms application?
We have a retail store where users share floor computers, the application will be on each machine and require a log in before use. I am trying to find a way to automatically close the application if it has been idle for lets say 10 minutes.
I guess I could do something similar with the current windows log on session - set a gp that logs the user out after 10 minutes of inactivity - but if there is an easy, non memory intensive way to do it in vb.net i would rather use that method
In VB6 if I wanted to see if a datetime field wasn't set, I could do something like if myDate = 0 then. I tried that with VB.NET and it can't compare to an integer. How do we do this now? I found the Ticks property, so if myDate.Ticks = 0 does seem to work, but I'm not sure if that's the "right" way to do it. None of the other things I've tried have been successful.
Dim dt As New DateTime
If dt.Ticks = 0 Then MsgBox("dt.Ticks = 0") 'this fires
If IsDBNull(dt) Then MsgBox("IsDBNull(dt)") 'doesn't fire, so no good
If Not IsDate(dt) Then MsgBox("Not IsDate(dt)") 'doesn't fire, so no good
'If dt Is Nothing Then MsgBox("dt is nothing") 'not legal syntax

View 2 RepliesI want to hook the keyboard and make some actions (in vb.net) when a specific physical key is pressed.I have found online several excellent keyboard hook dlls, but there is a problem: the hook dlls find the keycode of the pressed keys, not what physical key is pressed.So, for example, in a USA keyboard if I press the key on the left of the Right-Shif key I see the e.keycode: 191 (OemQuestion), in a italian keyboard I see the e.keycode 189 (OemMinus).This means that if I put in My.Settings the code "189", an italian user can see that has to press the key I want, an USA user see another key to press to have the same action because on it keyboard the OemMinus key is not on the left of the Right-Shift key.now the question is: how to determine univocally the keyboard keys? What do I have to put in My.Settings that determinate a specific physical key, the same for all the keyboard languages?

View 3 RepliesI'm looking for a similar "IsStructure" function. Is there some other way to determine if T is a structure but not an intrinsic type?
Public Shared Function MySub(Of TData)(ByVal t As TData) As TData
Dim IsClass As Boolean
IsClass = GetType(TData).IsClass
End Function
Note that using IsPrimitive and IsValueType on Nullable(Of Integer) and a Structure returns the same results, False and True, respectively.
Public Class A
Private aa As Integer
Dim bb As Integer
Public cc As Integer

what is the size of the object oA?and what if Class A and B contain methods?(I meant the size of object)what if inherited class B contains overridden methods?(size of object)what if inherited class B contains variables with same name as in Class A?(size of object)I need theoretical answer. Does those access specifiers Private,Dim,Public make any difference in allocating memory because of their different scopes?On what basis memory is allotted for a method? etc.
Screen.PrimaryScreen doesn't always work because on a multi-monitor setup the user may move his/her taskbar to a screen other than the primary. Finding the screen with minimum working area doesn't work too because there may be monitors with different resolutions.

I'm a little foggy on System.Type versus an actual class type (like Object or XmlDocument) in .NET... will this code correctly determine if the type of a particular object is equal to a class I specify?
// Given "myObject" (unknown type), and some class type (let's say "MyClass")...
If myObject.GetType.Equals(MyClass)
If TypeOf(myObject) Is MyClass[code].....
Which one is correct? Bonus points if you can provide some information on what a class identifier is versus what a System.Type is. :)
Note: The language doesn't matter here, VB.NET or C# is fine, the code above is pseudocode.

I am having hard time determining how to get 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place determined by time.

The code to determine second is not that efficient, I know there is an easier way. That is the part where I am stuck.
