View 2 RepliesIneed a VBS script that removes all scheduled tasks which start with a specific string.
For example, delete all scheduled tasks which start with "My Application Tasks..."
I wanna use this VBS script in my application uninstaller so all tasks created by my application are removed at the uninstall time, however am not familiar with VBS.
I am trying to create a vb application that will create sscheduled tasks .Created a windows service and set it to start manually for now.Just as a test, when the timer expires I have set it to start 'Notepad' as a process which I can see listed under processes in the Task Manager, but cannot see it as a scheduled task.What I am unsure whether this is the right way to create a scheduled task and if it why can't I see Notepad in scheduled tasks.

View 4 RepliesDo you know the answer? I can open the scheduled task by command-line from the VB GUI. What I'm trying to do is to open an exist job from VB GUI, by command-line or any other method, so I can let the users edit the job. I can't figure out how to do it.

I'm wanting to create a form with several fields thing is, I don't know how many fields a client will need, So i want to be able to add new fields to the form with a button click and reset the form back to normal when they submit that information.
A tabcontrol's backgroundimage caused severe flicker problems when resizing a windows form. By setting that property to NONE at designtime and that adding it at the very end of the processing pipeline & after the window had been maximized, the flicker problem on initial form load was solved.
HOWEVER, now when a tabpage resize event is fired, I would like to remove that image at the beginning of the resize and add it back to the tabpage at the end of the resize event. The following code however does NOT work. I get an error in the resize event, Property cannot be found.
Private Sub Form1_Shown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Shown
TabPage.BackgroundImage = My.Resources.GraphicallyIntenseImageToDraw

I am programically creating a 2 buttons at runtime....I'm assigning the first button to open an image from file and display the image into the picture box. got that part.
The second button is where I am getting hung up. I want to assign the second button to delete the picture box from the form when I click on it but whenever I go to put in the code it throws an error at run time.
Anyone know of how I should code this to dispose of the picturebox when I click on my button?
In VB.NET I used wscript.shell to add a shortcut to the desktop. I didn't realize it created the shortcut on the "All Users" desktop, which means I can't delete it. I don't have admin rights as this is my work computer, and asking for admin isn't an option. WScript.Shell has a createshortcut method but not a remove shortcut method! I've been googling for days with no luck. Windows XP Pro 2002, SP3.
View 1 RepliesI created a custom control and add it to a form programatically.
The user can add and move them all over the form.
The problem is when I want to clear the form of my user control I don't know how.
I created an array of my control called ctlCorkNotes
Say I create ctlCorkNotes(1) and now I want to delete it.
How do I do this so it is gone and would have to recreate it to show up again?
How can you do this? I want to have my program run every once in a while but I don't want to make it a service.

View 6 RepliesI have to sync information between a users table in SQL and a user group in active directory. For example, if a user is entered into SQL table A then they need to be entered into group A and if a user is removed from SQL table A, then remove them from group A.The application is written in ASP.NET (VB)
I see two solutions:
1) A scheduled task that runs every night syncing the two (written in VB.NET).
2) Use inpersonation so that Active Directory can be updated by the ASP.NET application. The Web.Config file will have to be encrypted in this solution.
I have read articles online that say it is bad practice to update AD in ASP.NET. This would suggest that option 1 is the better solution. Which is the better solution?

I'm coding (in VB.Net) a backup application, that I'd like to add as a scheduled task (in fact, I'd just like to let the user decide to run it every day at, for example, 3 AM)I've read posts suggesting to use a windows service for this, but it sounds a bit to much for something as simple as periodically running a task, isn't it?

I am using this project: [URL] to schedule the updating process, but when uac is enabled I get every time a message if I would let ccleaner installer make changes to my computer. The auto updating process must be done silently without bugging the user with prompts of uac.
When i manually check the "run with highest priviliges" box in task scheduler it does run without a prompt. But I can't seem to do this programmatically. Or I havent found it yet.
To create a scheduled class, I call the schtasks command from my code, passing it the necessary arguments.Yet, I can't really figure out how to create a task without the user having to input his password.
