View 3 RepliesThe current project I'm working on requires me to automate some VB.NET code to run every 24 hours. Currently I have everything tied to a local webpage and I've just been calling it all from a button click in a browser.
My question is....what is the best way for me to start getting this to run on a schedule time frame? I've been looking into triggers, but if I'm not mistaken those are supposed to execute when an event is taken on the actual database. No action is taking place, I just need the code to execute. I've executed SQL statements with VBScript and task manager, but I've never had to work with VB.NET and SQL Server (using 2008) in this manner.

Someone mentioned windows powershell for all these types of scripting; but it seems too hard to learn on short notice.

View 3 RepliesI am developing a VB.NET based application which requires administrative privileges in order to run properly. However I went through several tutorials online and it all mentioned how to do this using a mainifest file. The problem with this technique is that whenever the program is opened I need to type in the Administrator password, however I want this to happen automatically. (The user should not type the Admin password, the password must be entered from the code level)[code]...

View 1 RepliesI have a web browser on my form and it is definitely big enough to warrant a tab control, with the web browser being on the second tab. I have a button on the first tab that should have the browser navigate, but how do I make the program automatically switch to tab 2? i.e., this is what happens:
1 - user is on tab 1,
2 - user clicks a button on tab 1,
3 - the program does what it needs to do and automatically switches to tab 2
For instance, here is the button that will be clicked:
Private Sub swap_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles swap.Click
If video = False Then
[Code].....
So the button will make the web browser go somewhere, I just want to have the form switch to the other tab automatically so that the user doesn't have to do it. I tried using webbrowser1.focus() to no avail. Is there a tab switch?
I want to make a program that starts at 15 and countdown to 0 automatically that's the only thing I want no buttons just automatically.
View 2 Repliesi am trying to make my own user authentication system after i log on with the windows authentication. I want the program to automatically start on startup and i want to enable:
NoDeletePrinter : Disables printer deletion
NoAddPrinter : Disables printer adding
NoRun : Removes run from the start menu
NoSetFolders : Removes folders from the Settings option on Start Menu

Because i dont want someone else to just delete or tamper with the files that my program made to authenticate me. After i enter my credentials in my program and they are correct i want to disable these. I am using Visual Basic 2010 Express and my computer is Windows 7 64 Bit Home Premium.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to install an app on a windows server that is always on, but I'm running into problems. I've heard that I shouldn't make it a windows service (and would personally rather have a dialog app so I can see progress, etc) so I'm trying to use task scheduler. However, task scheduler keeps trying to close my app prematurely when it should only open it and leave it open.how I could have a dialog app run on startup (and stay running) on my server?

View 3 RepliesLet's say my browser goes to a page similar to this one below ..
Picture Is Here
On this page there is a hyper link called 'Click Here' .. when I click it, it opens another window with things in it.
How can I click this hyper link in vb.net automatically without me clicking on it with the mouse, and how do I open the window in a second web browser ?
We can assume that the first browser is called (WebBroswer1 ) and the second one is called (WebBrower2).
I know how to perform buttons clicks and do raise the 'OnClick' Events, but I don't know how to do it with a hyper links.
How would i make a program automatically align to one side of the screen, and fill the whole side? (Like windows sidebar).
View 9 RepliesI am trying to write a VB program to automatically detect and identify a particular device that will only communicate to my program when I have 2 or more devices plug into the USB port. One way of doing it that I can think of is to scan through the available port and do a write and read to identified the port. But that would take up a lot of time if I were to scan through say 5 available port.

View 9 RepliesI was trying to make a program for a teacher that automatically determines random students that he or she can call on.I'm trying to make a program that will allow the user to add student names to a listbox. Then, when a button is pressed the program will output a random name from the list. I keep getting a lot of errors and can't seem to figure out why. Finally, I need an exit button that should close the program. I need to assign access keys, have a proper tab order, and assign default and cancel buttons for the form. Also, if you know how to implement any extra 'bells and whistles' into the program,I've tried making this program but it comes up with either a lot of errors, or it just doesn't want to debug. Was wondering if I could either get some help with the coding or the "how-to" on doing this.
