View 5 RepliesI work in IT in a firm that are rolling out a time management application on all PCs. In order to clock in/out a user must log into the application and click clock in/out. I want to build a very simple application that when a user goes to shut down or log out of their PC, a windows form will pop up asking them if they they want to clock out of the time management software (a reminder if they have forgotten to clock out and are heading home). On the form there will be two buttons, 'yes' and 'no'. If they click yes, the system shutdown or log off will be halted and the time management software application will open automatically. If they click no, the shutdown/logoff will proceed as normal. I just need to know what i need to do to get the system shutdown/logoff to stop until either button is pressed and to stop totally if the 'yes' button is pressed. I am able to get the Time Management software to run on a button click but just not able to halt the shutdown or logoff?

I'm running into some strange exceptions coming from a few workstations that are running one of our Windows Forms Applications. The application is written for .NET Framework 2.0 and coded in VB.NET. We've re-imaged the machines a couple of time but not matter what we do, the same problem occurs. We are not seeing this problem with any other machines besides these two. Below is the exception message and the Stack Trace. Can anyone provide any insight as to why this may be happening?

I have created a simple framework for a Windows service in VB.NET Express 2008. It enables a timer which then writes to the event log every 6 seconds until the service is stopped. This works fine. I adapted that framework into something further. It is using Windows sockets. Well, I haven't finished that part yet and I just want it to write to the event log successfully but I can't even get it to do that now. I am trying to write an event in the OnStart event. The service is being started successfully, according to the standard event log, but my custom events are not getting there. I don't understand why as I am using the same code for that as I was before.

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'm trying to do a little project with an embedded board and XP embedded OS to control a little machine. The board will have no monitor, so I need a little routine that when a key is pressed on the keyboard, it invokes a proper Windows shutdown.I want to have the letter "Z" trigger the action. I've found that the sequence I want to run is ultimately this
Code:
SHUTDOWN -s -t 01
I'll put the routine in the start folder so that it's always in the background waiting for "Z", but is there anything else that has to be done since the machine controller software will be the "active" program?
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.
