Hello everyone,

I have written an EXE. And I want to,

- schedule a job and let the EXE run daily at 12:00pm;

- write a script which could install the job into a computer (i.e. the installation script for the job).

Are there any reference documents or samples which I could make a reference?

thanks in advance,
George

One way is to use WMI via vbs script. For example: WMI Tasks: Scheduled Tasks[^]

Hi Mika,

One more question after reading this script, especially what means "impersonationLevel=impersonate" and "\root\cimv2"?

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _
    & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

regards,
George

that uses the callers credentials when making the GetObject call. See for example: ImpersonationLevel Enumeration[^]

That's the namespace for WMI. Look for example these (didn't quickly find better links):
- Windows Remote Management and WMI[^]
- URI Prefixes[^]

Thanks Mika!

You have recommended really good stuff. But dues to my limited skills in vbscript, I do not know how to re-wirte the following script in powershell? Do you have any good ideas?

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _
    & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

George

Sorry to say, but no. I know about nothing of powershell and my knowledge of vbscript these days is very poor.

Try googling around. I found for example this: Accessing WMI From Windows PowerShell[^], at a glance it looks promising.

Cool, Giorgi!

Actually I just want to keep things simple and just want to write a couple of lines script in powershell to schedule a job for an application.

More specically, I want to write script which like this in powershell. But dues to my limited skills in vbscript, I do not know what is the meaning of the statement and how to rewrite it in powershell. Do you have any ideas? Smile | :)

Windows Form MenuStrip Control

My skills are limited in VBScript too Frown | :(

I believe googling powershell and task scheduling should bring some results.

The library that I mentioned would allow users to schedule some jobs as they would like to.

Hi All,

On my Windows form application, I am having a MenuStrip control on my Main form, it contains several items (the other menus) in this menu. Now if a user logs into system with Clerk privilege, how can i disallow this user to see all the menus, and if a user logs in with Manager privilege, how can i make this user to see all functions of my system. In other words, it is pretty much like user permission, like Windows?

I was thinking use this one: menuUserOperatin.Hide() or menuUserOperatin.Show(), but it only applies the main Menu, not the items under that main menu.

Thanks heaps

If you don't want a clerk to see all the menu items, just delete the whole menu if a clerk logs on. If you don't want to delete the entire menu, you can either delete individual menu items, or disable them.

Can someone please tell me if it's possible to change the language from English to say ...Japanese in the C# 2.0 System.Console application. I want to display random characters on the screen but with Japanese symbols instead while using a English language pack PC. Is this possible? Please give a short example or the class to use.

I'd be astonished if a console app could do this. I'm pretty certain it could only print the default character set (en).

Hi.
I need to come back to the start of the program, from the main or from functions. How I do that?
I mean, without to reload the project o restart the windows aplication, only to be at the point of waiting the start click again.
Thanks.

You are developing in an OO, event driven environment, there is no "go back to start", I've not heard that since the 80s. Your program falls into a state of waiting for an event, usually on the main form, this could be considered the default start point of your application.

If you want to reset your environment to exactly as the start of the application then you need to manually clean up all the variable and settings between application.run and now. You may be able to recall form_load from your main form, I've never had to do this.

I remember when I was first learning event-driven programming and this confused the hell out of me! Smile | :)

Yeah but I would have thought anyone learning today would automatically be OO oriented rather than procedural.
