I want to be able to use Microsoft's Update feature in my app. When doing some research on this, I found out that MS uses an executable called WUSA.EXE for their updates. Unfortunately, you can't just run the executable and expect it to work. So, I guess I'm asking if anyone knows how I can do this. For the moment, my app is only targeted toward Windows Vista.

View 3 RepliesIm making an application which is basically a lojack project. Im wanting to get some ideas for maybe other features or the best way to go about this for maximum tracking ability.Right now I have it working the way I think it should work and what it does is get your external IP, it then returns the City, State, Zip, Latitude and Longitude and sends all that info to you in an email. I have it check against a Database that houses computer registration, computer name, and then the status of the laptop which the customer calls in, if its stolen. Right now this is just a piece of software and Im currently working on something low level to do something before Windows loads up. Right now thats not something Im focused on hardcore, but Im working on it and itll get done.

View 13 RepliesWhere do we make feature suggestions for VB.NET?Basically, I'd like to suggest that they introduce "strikethrough comments". As an alternative to using the single quote ' for remarks, you can use the backquote (ASCII 96) ` which does exactly the same thing except that the text appears with strikethrough. This would be good for "commenting out" code. So if I am replacing a bit of code, I can "cross out" the old code,

In my company, we make software which we use to test certain skills and intelligence factors of people. Some of those tests are time bound. On the test page, there is an asp control that shows the time remaining. When you right click that control, the javascript that provides the time is interrupted. To solve that, we disabled right-clicking. But now i've noticed that if you do a selection of some text and click the IE8 accelerator blue button, the javascript is also interrupted. Disabling the left-click if of course no option.
I've found an option in IE that disables the accelerator, so for us internally, the issue is solved. But we would like to find another solution, just because we cannot ask every one of our customers to go disable that option on all their computers.
