VS 2008 Sleep And Hibernate Cause The Same Event?
Feb 18, 2011I am trying to differentiate between sleep and hibernate when I catch a Power Mode changed event and I am quite stuck.
What I am doing currently is I catch this: SystemEvents.PowerModeChanged and get the mode of the PowerModeChangedEventArgs which can be PowerModesSuspend amongst others. My problem is that both sleep and hibernate cause the same event.
.net - Does A Form Timer Maintain State During Sleep/hibernate?
Oct 12, 2010If I have an event that starts a timer with an interval of say, 30 minutes, and 15 minutes later, the computer the app is running on sleeps (Suspend to RAM) or Hibernates (Suspend to Disk), and is brought back online after ten minutes, will the timer raise its Tick event in 5 minutes (30 minutes REAL time from the start) or 15 minutes (30 minutes RUNTIME from the start)?

View 2 RepliesVS 2008 Prevent A Computer From Entering Sleep/Standby/Hibernate While Program Is Running?
Apr 4, 2011Title 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.

May 25, 2010Currently I'm using System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000) to let my app pause/sleep for some time. This works great but I can't open my app anymore when it's sleeping and it uses about 25% of my CPU. I guess there must be a better way to do this. I also tried using a timer but that didn't work out to well for me..

View 1 RepliesHow To Detect Installed Games On A System
Nov 26, 2009I am writing a application where i need to know which games are installed on a system.I have 3 ways by which i think i can detect the games
1: Scan specific parts of registry and look for key names that match with a List of Publishers. The list is manually maintained.
2: Scan the hard disk for and do same as in step 1
3: run the program in background and check for programs in memory that use a large portion of memory(which games always do) and if they use Direct X ( Which all games do except for some) then its a game.
Now i have been thinking about it and first and second method seems to be in need of a updated database ie list of publishers to make out if a particular program is game.
