I have a program with the line process.start("shutdown", "-s -f -t 00") However, when it's executed, everything exits, and the logging off text appears, then the screen blackens out and there's only the mouse pointer. Nothing can be done like opening the task manager, I just have to shut it down using the main button, holding it for 7 sec.

View 1 RepliesMy app is a tray icon which scans the Outlook Inbox periodically. It seems, from testing in my VMWare WinXP machine, that the app stops Windows from shutting down. I press StartShutdown but nothing happens. I have to exit the app first then StartShutdown will shutdown the PC.

I am using WM_QUERYENDSESSION to detect Windows shutting down in my vb.net app, but the complexity is that I need to quickly load a console application during this code to do some cleanup. It is looking like the console
application is not even loading, even though I can cause delays in the vb.net code. Is there a way to do this?
I need an example code which shuts down all processes of a certain user and where some processes can be excluded.

I have a windows forms application that has no form and it runs in the background. It using a webbrowser control to get information off the internet.The program is that when I add the event handler:webbrowser.documentcompleted the program just shuts down. If i put a message box after the event handler then it works just fine because the webrowser has time to load the document. How can I do some like console.readkey that you would do in a console application?
View 11 RepliesI have written an application that sits in the systray and monitors a database for me. The problem is that this application is stopping some of my clients computers from shutting down, I assume because the app is still running when the computer is trying to shut down.
What I need to know is if there is a way that my application can tell when the computer is shutting down, so that I can close my application and therefore allow the computer to shut down.
I am only running my app on Windows O/S e.g. 2000, XP The application is written in VS 2005, .NET 2 and VB.Net language
I was in correspondence with someone using my program and he verified that on his system, XP won't shutdown/restart either if my program is running.
Basically what happens is when XP gets to my program in the shutdown process to terminate it, the whole shutdown/restart just stops. I have to exit my program, then start the shutdown again.
The person sent me an image of some threads that were still running after the shutdown process halted and I was curious if anyone might be able to shed some light on this info and what to do about these threads.
These are the threads that are running and what they do: mscoree.dll - a module containing the .NET Framework functions. mscorwks.dll - Microsoft .NET Runtime Common Language Runtime gdiplus.dll - contains libraries for the GDI graphics interface.
pls. I am currently developing a project to monitor client system from the server using Visual Basic 6. my question is How can i list the entire client on the network and possible track each actions on every system and possible shutdown/restart the client remotely from the server
View 3 RepliesI've build a vb.net windows service which does nothing but ping a wcf webservice and handles sending a maintenance request to this same webservice at night time. It does both tasks using a timer event. If the service does nothing but these two things it says at startup that it's shutting down cause of being idle. The windows service thread needs something todo.[code]....

View 3 RepliesI wrote a program that is a system tray app that has no user interface. The issue is that when you shutdown, log off, or restart the PC the app does not shutdown and the user has the "End Now" message box pop up.
The only thing running on this app is that it is listening to a port for communication.
I do not have any code in the form closing event as that is what I want just to close.
We have a windows services created in .Net and it was working well. Suddenly it created the attached error and it shuts down the system. We are writing log files also and No error found in log file also
View 3 Repliesthe application I am developing does not exit completely. i.e. the process can be seen in the Task manager. This happens only when I click on the [X] button on the title bar of the window of my MDI form. If I use the File >> Exit in the menu of my application, it exits without leaving any traces. I have used the "End" method there. But the process stays when I click the [X] on the control box on the title bar.
View 6 RepliesIs there a command that closes an application completey down, including any hidden forms, etc?
View 3 RepliesI have a form that I use to get the user to input such as a username and password in order to make a network connection. This connection can be disconnected and reconnected as many times as neccessary whilst the application continues to run.
I obviously, therefore, need the form's text boxes, combo boxes etc to reset to their blank versions every time that the form is shown.
In VB6 this was easy; you just unload the form which completely removed the form from memory and thus the next time you showed it it was reset to it's blank state. In VB 2005, however, there is no unload so we have to use Close. I have done this and assumed that it would function in the same was that unload did in VB6.
The problem is that when I close the form using the form.close event handler the form disappears perfectly but when the form.show/showdialog is used the old form data still remains telling me that the form hasn't actually been unloaded but rather appears to have just been hidden.
I'm using VS2010, SQL2008 and using asp.net vb.I have a couple tables, Project and Projectstatus - looking something like this.
project
- ProjectID (autoincrement)
- ProjectName varchar50
- Projectoverview varchar200
[code]....
What id like to happen is that when i create a new project (into the project table), that a row is created in the projectstatus table, inserting the projectID from the project status for reference.I don't think this can be done from within VS, correct? therefore, do i need to create a SP to perform this action from DB side?
When i dim a variable as a form and then close it ( frm2.close() ) then just the form window will be closed. How can i close the form completely so that everything like a timer will be closed too?

View 6 RepliesI am having an issue with my msgbox calls in vb.net 2010. See attachment. Notice the form icon in the top left of the titlebar. Is there a way to replace this icon with my application's icon? I have my app icon already set through the project properties. Barring that, is there a way to remove the icon completely? I've seen of VB.net msgboxs don't have an icon, so I'm not sure how it got there in the first place.

View 7 RepliesI don't know if this is a VB2005 or MS Excel issue so I will start with VB2005.
This is how I open an Excel file in VB2005[code]...
The problem is MS Excel always open a Book1.xlsx in addition to my Data.xlsx. As such closing Data.xlsx only closes Data.xlsx but not Book1.xlsx. Over time, as I continue to develope and debug my program, Task Manager would collect "countless" Book1.xlsx. Wth EXCEL.EXE still opened, I noticed that my VB2005 doesn't work "completely" right.
If this is a VB2005 issue then how do I "completely" close everything that is Excel? If this is a Windows issue, and if you could offer a solution as well
How can I completely stop code execution?
Also, how can I hide a form and keep all information saved so I can bring it back up again?
For instance, I have form1 with "alpha" written in a textbox. Now when I hide form1 (Me.Hide), I would like to be able to bring form1 back with "alpha" still written in the textbox.
Currently, I hide it, and when I show it again, the textbox is empty.
Okay so ive got this project iv been working on. Almost ready to get the beta on its way, last thing I needed to do is retrieve the EXE and change its icon. I found the EXE in the "bin" folder. Copied it to desktop. I went through the properties, no way to do it. Then I searched youtube, and google. Only possible way to change it I found was to use softwares. I tried Resource Hacker (ive used years back, this program was handy), but it didnt work. I replaced the default window-looking box icon with my icon, and that seemed fine. But once I saved and exit, the new file with updated icon was supposed to be created. Well it was, except just looking at the file icon I knew it didnt work. But when I right click and go to properties, that one changed. So why dosnt the MAIN icon change? In RH I seen no other icons
