View 9 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 using
Process.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 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.

View 3 RepliesTitle pretty much says it all. Does anyone know a way to to prevent a computer from entering a low/non-processing mode while the program is running? I don't care about monitor modes, screen-savers, hard-drive spindown, etc (in fact, I'd prefer to leave those alone; I like it that it shuts the monitor off after a time period).Basically, I have an industrial program that needs to continually monitor a PCI card it uses for IO; and this activity alone isn't enough to convince Windows not to go into Sleep mode. We normally just shut the power-save features off, but we had an incident where a technician forgot, a customer's machine went to Sleep after the end of the shift, the pumps stopped recirculating, yadda-yadda big mess.
View 6 RepliesThis would be easier if I were able to have the external computer get its own name and just pass it to a web service as a variable, but I'm not able to do that right now. There are a variable number of computers from several different entities that regurarly access a web service on one of our servers. Changing only some VB.Net code on the server and nothing at all on any of those external computers, how would I be able to get their names programmatically in VB.Net?

View 1 RepliesI am moving from vb6 to vs2010. I installed vs2010 but no vb program, even the simplest will run. As soon as I load a solution either vshost32.exe or vshost32-clr.exe will shut down.If I create a vb application, even with just a form, a button, it will not run but will exit with the following.
'WindowsApplication1.exe' (Managed (v2.0.50727)): Loaded 'C:WINDOWSassemblyGAC_32mscorlib2.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089mscorlib.dll'
The program '[3000] WindowsApplication1.exe: Managed (v2.0.50727)' has exited with code -2146233082 (0x80131506).
If I create an exe it will run on other computers but not mine, exe's that are created on other computers will run there but not on mine, so it doesn't seem to be a vs2010 problem but something else. I removed and reinstalled .net framework, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5 but that didn't help either. Since exe's that I create will run on other computers but not mine, I suspect it's .net framework but other than uninstalling and reinstalling it, I have no idea what to check.

I have been working on a program on my old computer. Now, I have gotten a new computer and would like to continue to work on it there. The program is not yet finished. I would like to copy my program to my new computer. How can I do this? I tried copying the folder from my old computer to my new one and it opened the project, but I could not edit it as there was no permission given to edit it. It shows it as a read-only.
