Nov 12, 2009I'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 4 RepliesVS 2010 : Start Download In Another Form?
May 26, 2011I've made a download manager, which made out of several form.I have a problem with the first and second form, they are the mainly forms.The first is the main window. It contains the ListView, where you see the downloads, and buttons and etc.The second window is the window you insert the download link and press to download the file.I made everything, but when you press on the start button in the second window, it closes (as I wrote it to) and doesn't start the download.To check if it starts or not, I made a timer, which starts when the download begins, and it should show the seconds in a cell on the chart.It doesn't start it.I used this two lines to start download (the are in the button1_click in the second window):
Form1.download = New WebClient
Form1.download.DownloadFileAsync(New Uri(TextBox1.Text), Options.TextBox1.Text + "" + "123.exe")
Download is a public event and webclient.
Textbox1 is where the link is (direct link - if you put it in the adress in the browser, it starts downloading the file). Options.Texbox1 is the path (another window)The code of showing it in the listview is:
Form1.listview.Items(Counter).SubItems.Add(e.ProgressPercentage + " %")
Counter is an Integer that raise in 1 every click in the second form (to be able to make another row, for multiple downloads.
Login Form - Reading If Account Locked Or Not
Apr 8, 2009This is for a login form. I'm trying to read if the account is locked. in my access database I've tried using a yes/no column and use datareader.getboolean but that didn't work, so I tried something simpler and used a number column, 0 for account unlocked and 1 for account locked. then tried .getint32 .getdata .getvalue but none of them get the value that in the column. but the data reader part is working, it is getting 3 columns. So I have 3 columns and the correct ordinal for the accout_lock column but can get seem to get that value it holds.

Feb 28, 2011I have made my application to start automaticly when windows start (registry ../currentversion/run/appname + path). In this mode the application start minimized and an little icon appear in the notification icon area. With this icon you can maximize the app or exit it.If you exit the app and start it again using the Menu (Start/programs etc) than the application start in minimized mode (and in this case I would like to have it in normal mode) because the setting autostart is still true.Is there a way you can detect when the application start when windows startup using the above registry or when people click on an icon in the programs menu (or desktop)?

Multiple Forms - Declare And Instantiate Second Form On Program Start - Use Button Simply To Show Form?
Jan 14, 2010I have a program that uses two forms. The program opens to the Main form, and the user can navigate to the other form from the Main form through use of a button. Here's the way I've currently written it: When the Main form loads, it declares and instantiates the other form during the load procedure. When the user presses a button, the second form is displayed by means of the ShowDialog method. On the second form, there is a Return to Main Screen button which closes the second form, bringing the user back to the Main form.
So, here's the structure of the code:
Code:
Public Class frmMainForm
Dim frmSecondForm As New SecondForm
Private Sub btnSecondForm_Click(blah, blah, blah) Handles blah, blah, blah
[CODE]...
Here's my reasoning: Originally, I wrote the code so that a new instance of the second form was created every time the button was pressed. The problem was that whatever data was displayed on the second form, previously, was lost when the user returned to it a second time. Since the user would be switching back and forth between these forms, frequently, I needed that data to persist.
What is the best practice for accomplishing this:
1) Declare and instantiate the second form on program start, as I have done, and use the button simply to show the form?
2) Declare and instantiate the second form each time the button is pressed but maintain the variables on the Main form and pass them ByRef to a custom constructor for the second form? Is this even possible?
3) Something else?
