View 9 RepliesBack when VBStudio 2005 was the latest in .net programming, I created a program that, among other things, sets the user's system clock after obtaining certain code from time.gov and adjusting it according to a set of numbers. Due to a change in one of the websites with which the program works, it stopped working. I downloaded VB2005 Express (since I reinstalled WinXP since then and didn't feel like looking for MSVB Studio 2005), opened the source code, and made the correction. The program now works in what appears to be its entirety in WinXP. However, when it attempts to perform the function I mentioned earlier on a Vista machine, an error (a built-in error I included in the program) appears. Note that even on a Vista machine, the program does have some functionality. All requests that the program makes to access other websites is done using HTTP web requests.
View 2 RepliesI just want to shut down my computer, but seems like nothing works. I'm using Visual Basic 2008 with Windows 7.[code]...
The only thing that happens, is that the program looses focus, then several more instances of the program is created. Are there some particular restrictions in Windows 7 that prevents shutting down the computer?

I'm trying to do a little project with an embedded board and XP embedded OS to control a little machine. The board will have no monitor, so I need a little routine that when a key is pressed on the keyboard, it invokes a proper Windows shutdown.I want to have the letter "Z" trigger the action. I've found that the sequence I want to run is ultimately this
Code:
SHUTDOWN -s -t 01
I'll put the routine in the start folder so that it's always in the background waiting for "Z", but is there anything else that has to be done since the machine controller software will be the "active" program?

View 1 RepliesI've noticed that a few download management programs do this, like uTorrent for example, where you can set it to shut down the system when the download(s) complete and I would like to implement this in my app as well.Right now I'm usingProcess.Start("shutdown.exe", "-s -t 05")which works fine if the user is logged in, but my home computer has the screen saver set to lock the computer in which all my app does is exit but the system doesn't shut down like it does when it's logged in.
View 2 RepliesI work in IT in a firm that are rolling out a time management application on all PCs. In order to clock in/out a user must log into the application and click clock in/out. I want to build a very simple application that when a user goes to shut down or log out of their PC, a windows form will pop up asking them if they they want to clock out of the time management software (a reminder if they have forgotten to clock out and are heading home). On the form there will be two buttons, 'yes' and 'no'. If they click yes, the system shutdown or log off will be halted and the time management software application will open automatically. If they click no, the shutdown/logoff will proceed as normal. I just need to know what i need to do to get the system shutdown/logoff to stop until either button is pressed and to stop totally if the 'yes' button is pressed. I am able to get the Time Management software to run on a button click but just not able to halt the shutdown or logoff?

Obviously there no longer is development occuring on the platform, however I am trying to put together a business case as to when we should move to a new platform and make sure the timing is right for where the company will be at that time.
Its my understanding that given that it was shipped with Vista/Windows 7/Windows Server 2008, that it will be supported for 10 years past those ship dates.
