View 4 RepliesMy current program is reading a XML doc and using it then moving it to a different directory to be archived once it is finished using the xml.
I want to be able (upon completion) move and rename the file to a new folder, I want the folder to be the current date/time as well.
So basically have 4/4/2011 9:56AM.xml in the folder 4/4/2011 9:56AM.
getting the function DateTime.Now in a format that can be saved. Folders and files cannot contain the " / " or " : "
A more Sql server type of date would be fine like 24-Jun-89 13:32:22 but I don't know how to get something like that.

View 1 RepliesWe're trying to write code to obtained all the logged on users to a remote machine.
We have the following, which only seems to identify users if they are logged in locally. However, if they're logged in through some other means (such as remote desktop), it doesn't seem to pick those users up.
How can we obtain all the users logged into a machine while excluding those users who only have a process running but aren't logged in (eg, a service is installed by them and might be currently running under their name)?
Dim WMIObject As String = "winmgmts://" & strComputerName.Text & "/root/cimv2"

I'm using the 2.0 framework to get a list of queues from a remote machine. Sometimes the machine has a firewall and then the user has to wait 80 seconds or so before an exception is thrown stating that the machine is unavailable. Questions: Is there any way that I can set/change the timeout for GetPrivateQueues ByMachine? Is there any other method I can call before running GetPrivateQueuesByMachine to see whether the machine is responding? One that has configurable timeout, Any other solution?

I'm having an issue here with making a WMI connection to a remote machine using specified administrator credentials.I have the WMI code inside a function, I pass it the computer's name and it returns the WMI information that I am requesting as a string (or in this particular case, an integer) from the remote machine. I'm positive it works, and returns the information I need using specified admin username/password. NOW, the issue I am having is related to (it seems) calling this function from a backgroundworker. [code] "Value does not fall within the expected range." I literally have no clue why this would throw that exception, yet when I call this function from lets say just a random button on my form, it works beautifully. The key here is that I need my WMI requests/processing to run in the background.
View 18 RepliesThe conditions are I don't have administrator privilege I want to see the status of a service in remote machine (server)I use the following code (vb.net with framework 2.0) to see the status
Dim sqlSvc As ServiceController
Svc = New ServiceController(My.Settings.serviceName, My.Settings.machineName)
If sqlSvc.Status.ToString.Equals("Running") Then
displayStatus("success", sqlSvc.Status.ToString)
Else
displayStatus("error", sqlSvc.Status.ToString)
End If
When running the code, InvalidOperationException is raised and found out that I need admin right in the server.Can I lookup the status of the service without having admin right in remote machine ?

View 1 RepliesIs it possible to create a folder on a remote machine that has no previously shared folders? I can do this...

Dont know how easy this would be, but basically I'm just wondering if there is any way in VB.net you can close open files on a remote PC.In my scenario the vb.net app would be running with domain admin permissions in most cases so would have access to things like the remote Computer Management console, which of course has the Open Files section in it which lets you close any open files on the remote machine its connected to.So I fugured there must be some way to do it in vb.net... I just dont know if its going to be more hassle than its worth and I dont really know where to start looking (ive used googled but not had much joy).

Now I have updated the project to use .NET Framework 3.5 without modifying source code, but I have found that : the Remoted DateTime values can not be converted to the equivalent local time of a remote computer that is in a different time zone. In .NET Framework 1.1, the DateTime values can be converted automatically.

View 3 RepliesSo I currently have the following:
2 timers
2 labels
1st label is "Clock" this pulls the time from the users current time zone/local time
2nd label is "UTCClock" Which would be UTC time
Now I have this for the first label: clock.Text = Format(TimeOfDay, "hh:mm:ss tt")
Which would give the users current time zone/local time. As for the UTC.. how would I add in for the UTC time from where the user is located at? I did some searches.. but couldnt find what I was looking for.. IM pretty sure its not as easy as getting the users current time zone/local time.. So im assuming that Theres a "bit more" code into getting UTC time..
