View 21 RepliesI have been searching everywhere for help and cant find anyone or place nice enough to work with me.I work for a bank, and support 40,000 users as an admin on a team of about 20 people.We are always having to force log off users out of SQL and always having to restart machines due to stuck files or folders open, or for troubleshooting purposes. So i am working on an application that will log off and shutdown users from the network.I have the log off from SQL completed.However i am having trouble with the line for restart.I started off trying the shell command Shell("cmd.exe") and now i have switched over to Process.Start("shutdown")
If you have any admin experience on a full blown network or wan, you know that when using cmd or run the syntax is:shutdown -m \computername -r -f -t 00 where m is for listing computer r is for reboot f is forcing apps closed and t is for timer.I have to pull the workstation from a textbox inside our tool. Or at the very least input the workstation to the command prompt So when i try and place this into vb i am using this:
Process.Start("shutdown", "-m \""" & TxtBoxWorkstation.Text & """-r -f -t 00")However the whacks(backward slashes) are not correct in the code.Im trying to figure out where the whacks go in the line of code.Im not getting any errors in vb, but when the cmd prompt loads it does not initiate the command correctly because the whacks are in the wrong location

View 14 RepliesHave built a project and associated it with a Setup&Deployment Project. The S&D project needs to contain 2 main folders (under User's Desktop) with various formats of files (xmls, txts, dlls) inside them and several subfolders. How can i copy/import these 2 folders and there sub-files/folders into my s&d project?
When adding them in the usual way, they are copied and defined a source path onto the current pc. You can understand what errors this might create when an another targeted pc does not contain those files to the exact location. Is there any way to copy them locally or somehow import them?
I'm currently working on an application that allows users to select picture files and then categorize them into folders. Now I'm having two issues that are probably simple to fix but I only have a year of experience with vb so I just don't know how to fix them. The first and biggest issue is that once the user has selected and categorized a file, I want the program to select the next file in the folder that the first file was moved from. This way the number of clicks required is minimized. However I have no clue what I would need to do in order to accomplish this. Also, my other problem is that I want to be able to find the indexof a quotation mark but whenever I put it in the parameter it just reads it as a quote.
