Shut Down The Computer When System Is Locked?
Nov 12, 2009
I'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.

In uTorrent the system shuts down whether the user is logged in or the system is locked, how is that possible?Also I would like to know how to detect if the system is locked or not because if they are logged in I, like uTorrent, would like to prompt the user that the system is about to shut down and give them 30 seconds to cancel it.
In addition to
Process.Start("shutdown.exe", "-s -t 05")
I also know about

<DllImport("user32.dll")> _
Public Shared Function ExitWindowsEx(ByVal uFlags As Integer, ByVal dwReason As Integer) As Integer
End Function
Call ExitWindowsEx(1I, 0I) 'Shut Down
but this doesn't shut down the system if it's locked either.

I 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've recently started using visual basic express 2008 and am having problems with saving my project. Basically, the data sources keep dissapearing from the project when i have shut down my computer and come back to the project at a later time. This has happened to my project several times now and is getting quite irritating as i don't seem to beable to find a resolution to the issue.I could continue developing my application without having to re write the code constantly.

There is a lot of duplication of functions in the My.Computer.FileSystem and System.IO.File namespaces.
So what exactly is the difference between: My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(strSource, strDest, True)
and:System.IO.File.Copy(strSource, strDest, True)
Is there a performance difference? What is everyone's opinion on which which has the edge on read-ability? I personally use the My.Computer Namespace but that is just habit now.

I am building a simple network browser that pings a specified range of IP addresses, and if a response is discovered, it gets the host name and MAC address of the device it pinged.My first question is how can I find the operating system of the device (if it's a computer)?My second question is, for devices that aren't computers e.g. a wireless printer or router, is there a way I can find out what type of device it is?

I have converted a Windows Forms VS2003 application to VS2005 and then to VS2008. It includes a setup project for deploying on the client computer (the regular installer, not click once). It works fine when I run it on my computer, either in VS or if I install using the setup installer. But when I install it on the client computer and then try to run it, I immediately get a System.InvalidOperation exception. I put in debug code before my code but it fails before it gets to any of my code. Both computers are XP. The client comptuter actually has VS2003, though it is not used.
I have tried it with either the 2.0 framework or the 3.5 framework (and included those as prerequisities) but neither makes a difference (and I did set that in the Launch conditions, as well as in the Advanced Compile Options). The application uses CrytalReports for VS.
I don't think I can run JIT debugging on the user computer due to permission issues. Are there any other debugging things I can try to narrow this down or has anyone encountered this.

I'm running windows 7 64 bit and using VS 2010. I'm trying to use the filesystem.getfiles to find a file on the computer and return the path for it. However, when I search C:/ and its subdirectories, it always throws an error: "A first chance exception of type 'System.UnauthorizedAccessException' occurred in mscorlib.dll"
I've looked everyone online and can't find a solution. I have administrator privileges and really I dont want people who use my app to have to adjust security settings for this to work. Is there not a way to search the C drive for a specific file and return its path? [Code]

Is there any way to determine how my application was closed. i.e. task manager, vs any standard close method. Actually my app is a dll that is used in an exe, so I really need to know how the exe program was shut down. Basically I am trying to write to a debug text file if the user has to shut down with task manager.
