Perform A Function At A Specific Time In .NET?
Mar 25, 2010
I am writing a small app to automatically connect my PC to the internet at a certain time and I am using rasdial.exe for it...
Private Sub SetIt_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SetIt.Click
Dim windir As String = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("WINDIR")
Shell(windir & "system32
asdial.exe", AppWinStyle.NormalNoFocus)
End Sub
My question is how to make the shell function run at a specified time or after a certain interval?Also how to wake up my PC from hibernation using vb and winresume.exe

I'm new to VB and Windows programming but I do have a fair amount of experience programming at the command line level. A friend is having problems with his laptop. He does a lot of speaking engagements with Powerpoint. His laptop uses the F7 key to toggle the output to his external monitor port to the video projector. The F7 key has stopped doing this. Is there a way to create a Windows program that will do this without using a DOS window? He is not familiar with command line processing and needs something that he can double-click.

i wanted to ask how to make picturebox1 ,to which functions are already assigned, perform the same function as picturebox2 ,to which no functions are assigned.For example:I have already made picturebox1 and have assigned it alot of function like when play button is pressed then picturebox1.visible = true and when we press pause button picturebox1.visible = false. So now i decided to make a theme and have to remove the picturebox1 and want to allow the picturebox2 to havefunction of picturebox1.But when i disable the theme the function of picturebox1 should go back to picturebox1.

I want to make an application in VB.NET and I want this application to work as follows, There will be an array of items on which I want to perform a specific operation (MyTask), with the help of multiple threads.For example, say, the array is holding 12 items in it, and I want to create 3 threads to do the work,
Thread 1: Reads the first item from the array and goes to perform the specific operation (MyTask).
Thread 2: Reads the second item from the array and goes to perform the operation MyTask
Thread 3: Reads the third itm from the array and goes to perform the Mytask.
Now once Thread 1 completes the operatin MyTask, I want to assign 4th item from the array to the Thread 1 to continue the process.Once Thread 2 completes the operatin MyTask, I want to assign 5th item from the array to the Thread 2 to continue the process and so on... until all the items from the array is processed. Also, the function taking 5 arguments out of which 4 arguments will be same. Only one argument will vary and it will take the keywords one by one as input parameter.

I have a feature in my program that allows the user to have multiple tabs, each having its own rich text box. Is there a way that I can only perform an event, such as "Text Changed", for the selected tab's rich text box, or will everything still work (the way I want) if I give them all the same name?

In my project, there are 3 user controls; BasicContact, BasicDetail and ActionTime. They are in EditOrder.aspx page. There is "ReportDate" property (Date type) in BasicContact, RadioButtonList "rdl_Priority" (with integer value from "prio_id" field) in BasicDetail and "CheckDate" property in ActionTime. The ReportDate value is derived from txt_ReportDate and txt_ReportTime and CheckDate value is derived from txt_CheckDate and txt_CheckTime.

Basically, It is a program that allows you to automatically click things.
Here is the
Public Class Form1
Private Declare Function GetAsyncKeyState Lib "user32" (ByVal vkey As Long) As Integer
[Code].....
What I wanted to do was make an option to have variations in tick time. I want to put in a check box, and if it is checked then there will be 10 "variations" in click time, ranging from 1 second too soon, to 1 second late.

when I try to perform a cross thread call to fill a text box with messages with the following code I have no problems:
Delegate Sub SetTextCallback(ByVal [text] As String)
Public Sub SetStatusBox(ByVal [text] As String)
If Me.statusBox.InvokeRequired Then
[code]....
However, I am having problems when I use the following code to do a cross thread call to close a form. The form just hangs there.
Public Delegate Sub setFormClosing(ByVal ctrl As Control)
Private Sub closeForm(ByVal ctrl As Control)
If Me.InvokeRequired Then

The Now() function in VB.NET returns date and time which is different from the system time that I see on the right-bottom on the notification bar. It is 15 hours slower than the system time. Has anyone ever met this problem? I'm using .NET 2.0.

I have a program that allows a user to select a program to run at a certain time for a specific amount of time all choosen by the user. Everything works with the exception of if my program has launched the other program, my program become non-responsive. Meaning I am not able to look at that window again. Not that one really needs too, because when time is up my program closes the program it opened, then closes itself. I just want to be able to see my program when the other program is running. how to do this and perhaps drop me some links, that would be wonderful. This is what I have coded, but like I stated there are no code errors.

How does one check to see if the system time is equal or not equal to a specific time? So, say I want to perform an action if your system time is between 6pm and 6am. Or something similar?

I am aware that if you wish to run a program at a specific time, the best way is to add it to the windows task scheduler. I have a forms application that accepts as input a text file and some button selections before the actual main runs.
Can this kind of program be scheduled? I realize I would have to hard code the inputs but does .net have any features to access the task scheduler?

I have an app that relies on a database. Basically, users are checking in and checking out items and the database keeps track of all that.My boss wants a notification system to email us when a item is overdue. I already have most of this figured out.I was able to create a service and have it read registry values that the app sets and then it reads the check outdate from the database. If it's overdue, an email is sent out.
But, I've only done testing for 10 seconds at a time. I'm currently using a System.Threading.Timer to run every 10 seconds. That was only a test, it won't actually be that way.Instead, I want the task to run once every day. I was thinking to just have it run every hour, but if it runs every hour, then we'll be constantly bombarded by emails when an item is overdue. And sending it every "x" hours brings it's own issues and isn't ideal.Normally, I'd run a task via the Windows Task Scheduler, but the app has to read the database. I guess I could create a separate app and launch it via the task scheduler, have it complete the tasks and then close when done.

I have a simple WinForm that is using a Tab Control to simplify data entry. The very last page has a text box that allows the user to "set a name" for the file. I really want to simplify this and suggest how the file should be named. What I want
is for when the tab page is entered (consider that generically) that the text box is pre-populted with a name.
This code will do what I want, but only the first time the tab page is entered. what I am apparently missing or a better way to do this?
Private Sub TabPage6_Focus(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TabPage6.Enter
' This should simulate a load event
modGeneralInfo.docProductNaming()
modDocGen.docNameShorten()
End Sub

how to start a VB.NET program at a specific time of the day, but I simply cannot find it. I've found an example that shuts down the computer at a specific time of the day, but having no experience with the Timer function, I wouldn't know where to start when hacking the code.As an example, I'd like the program to run at say 2:00PM and display a message. The displaying the message won't be hard (MessageBox.Show("Stuff")), it's just the starting .

I just decided to recode my personal alarm program from scratch, new functions, ui etc and optimize it but I'm stuck on a part.
I have the option to start an alarm and set it to expire at a specific time, say in 2 days 5 hours 18 mins 10 secs. I was wondering what would be the best way (performance wise) to achieve this.

Recently in a couple of my current projects I have found that I have the need to 'schedule' events in my applications. For example, I would like something to happen in my program at 11 PM every day (and no I dont want to use Windows Scheduled Tasks) but I cant think of a good way to do this... The only method I can think of is to just have my app check every minute to see if the current system time is 11 PM but obviously that is pretty rubbish. I considered using Windows WorkFlow but that seems very overkill just to do this one thing...
Oh and if it makes any difference, I would like the user to be able to modify these times that certain events occur.
