Hi...
just a small suggestion... maybe you can build your application to do a date check upon every execution... as long as there is a difference between this captured date and the saved date... increase your counter by the difference (x) ... take it as the application has been running for x numbers of days... then save this new date... thus even if i were to set the date back 1 week... the program will acknowledge this as the program being used for 1 week...
thus when the counter reaches, say 30... the trial period will end... make sure to encrypt the counter value...
there is a way to tamper though... that would be for the user to set the date to the same as the first launch date everytime before starting the program... or they found a way to tamper with your counter value...
just a suggestion...

Hello friends!
I'm in the process of conceptualizing a test program that (hopefully) shuts down my unit for a given time but the catch is I want the program to close all running applications first particularly my internet connection (since i'm using dial-up connection) and shuts down my unit properly. Is this do-able in c# and if so could someone please give me a boost on this.
I'm fairly new to programming let alone c# and i'm trying to scroll through the namespaces and i can't seem to get a solution for my problem. So any assistance regarding this matter would mean gold to me. Thanx for all your helps!
Oh yeah I'm using Windows XP home ed and VS.NET 2003. Almost forgot..
Kampai!!!

you can try using kill() to kill the processes
you can try searching msdn for "C# kill process"
|
|
|

Hey thanx!
I found a similar program that shuts down a machine for a give time but the problem is it forces applications to terminate meaning it doesn't close applications properly. Any lead on this? How can i access my tool bar using c#? Thanx!
Kampai!!!

maybe you can use
myProcess.CloseMainWindow();
but this only works with application with user interface. It behaves the same as selectign close from the application interface. There will be a user prompt for any unsaved data.
but for applications without user interface, you will need to use
myProcess.Kill()
hope this helps

Indeed!
Thanx for the assistace it was such a big help! I gues i've no choice but to force terminate every application and hopefully doesn't ruin my machine . Thanx again frend!
Kampai!!!

my idea is to save the files in a tempory folder other than the existing folder when the system is shut down.
how to do it.
|
|
|
|
|
Directory.CreateDirectory[^]
File.Copy[^]
Insert following into your main form to detect system shut down.
protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
{
if (m.Msg == 0x0011)
{
}
base.WndProc(ref m);
}

Whether we can able to save all the open files automatically before the system shutdown.Also there exist any APIs for saving filet in c sharp.net.
I am expecting your most valuable reply
|
|
|
|
|
What do you mean by "all the open files"? What types of files do you open where and how?

I'm looking for way to capture audio (from microphone) and video (from webcam) and stream across network.. but most of examples that i have found are for web page web cam apps and thats not what i'm looking for. I came across one app example to capture webcam images but can't 'refind' the link.. and microphone capture eludes me.. I've been working on various aspects of this project for days now and could have easly passed them over by sheer exhaustion (coding can be an obsession).. any tips or pointers on simple audio/video device capture using p/invoke would forever indebted... Thank you for your time in reading my plea for help
When this darn code gets finished.. look for my article

I don't believe you can, unless you owner draw. A label just uses one font, and fonts do not have the ability to superscript. You can put the number on the end in a smaller font, in a new label, or owner draw ( that is, write your own label class )

It would help if instead of posting a million lines of code without comment, you told us what's wrong with it. Does it compile ? Does it do what you expect ? What do you expect ?

This program is for shutdown,logoff,restart the system.
the pgm is compile without any error.
The problem is when we call the function ,for example shutdown ,the control is going to the ExitWindows()function.But its returned value is "0";so the shutdown command fails.i am unable to detect why the returned value is 0.

OK, that's a lot more helpful 
So long as we're copying and pasting code, here's the code I found online to do this when I had the same problem as you. I think in a nutshell, some sort of privilege thing needs to happen first, which gives your app the *right* to shut down the PC.
public class Shutdown
{
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, Pack=1)]
internal struct TokPriv1Luid
{
public int Count;
public long Luid;
public int Attr;
}
[DllImport("kernel32.dll", ExactSpelling=true) ]
internal static extern IntPtr GetCurrentProcess();
[DllImport("advapi32.dll", ExactSpelling=true, SetLastError=true) ]
internal static extern bool OpenProcessToken( IntPtr h, int acc, ref IntPtr phtok );
[DllImport("advapi32.dll", SetLastError=true) ]
internal static extern bool LookupPrivilegeValue( string host, string name, ref long pluid );
[DllImport("advapi32.dll", ExactSpelling=true, SetLastError=true) ]
internal static extern bool AdjustTokenPrivileges( IntPtr htok, bool disall,
ref TokPriv1Luid newst, int len, IntPtr prev, IntPtr relen );
[DllImport("user32.dll", ExactSpelling=true, SetLastError=true) ]
internal static extern bool ExitWindowsEx( int flg, int rea );
internal const int SE_PRIVILEGE_ENABLED = 0x00000002;
internal const int TOKEN_QUERY = 0x00000008;
internal const int TOKEN_ADJUST_PRIVILEGES = 0x00000020;
internal const string SE_SHUTDOWN_NAME = "SeShutdownPrivilege";
internal const int EWX_LOGOFF = 0x00000000;
internal const int EWX_SHUTDOWN = 0x00000001;
internal const int EWX_REBOOT = 0x00000002;
internal const int EWX_FORCE = 0x00000004;
internal const int EWX_POWEROFF = 0x00000008;
internal const int EWX_FORCEIFHUNG = 0x00000010;
private static void DoExitWin( int flg )
{
bool ok;
TokPriv1Luid tp;
IntPtr hproc = GetCurrentProcess();
IntPtr htok = IntPtr.Zero;
ok = OpenProcessToken( hproc, TOKEN_ADJUST_PRIVILEGES | TOKEN_QUERY, ref htok );
tp.Count = 1;
tp.Luid = 0;
tp.Attr = SE_PRIVILEGE_ENABLED;
ok = LookupPrivilegeValue( null, SE_SHUTDOWN_NAME, ref tp.Luid );
ok = AdjustTokenPrivileges( htok, false, ref tp, 0, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero );

First Thanks for helping me.
I am a new programmer.So i want to know what happend inside my program(means why i am getting the return value 0 from the Exitwindows()).Expecting the reason for that thing
|
|
|
|

I am using the FileStream class to write and read from files. I am using it in a server to which the clients can connect and read data from the file(s). The server, on the other hand is also writing data to the files after regular intervals of time. To write the data to the file, the server creates a FileStream object in the following way:
FileStream dataStream = new FileStream(dataFileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Write);
As is clear from above, the server opens the file in write only mode and it shouldn't be a problem to read from the file.
To read data from the file, following code is used:
FileStream stream = new FileStream(fileNames[i].ToString(), FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
As is clear here, I open the file in read-only mode. The problem is, that if the above code executes during the time when the server has already opened the stream for writing, I get an exception (Cannot access the file as it is being used by some other process).
Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated

No matter how logical it seems to you, Windows will not allow it, one process needs to release the file before another can access it. In the lack of deterministic destruction, that means the using keyword, or an explicit call to Close().

Thanks a lot Graus for your response, but still, is there any way out of this problem?

No worries. I'm interested, why do so many people respond to me by my surname ?

Well, by default, the file is opened with Exclusive access. This means that all shared access, both read and write, is denied if another process tries to open the same file. This is actually a good thing in your situation.
If the server process is in the middle of writing to the file while your other process reads it, you could read an incomplete record or data or whatever. Your server process SHOULD hold an exclusive lock on that file when it needs to update it. What you can do, is when your other process needs to read the file, try and open it. If it's unavailable, just wait say five seconds, and try again. Keep doing that until you can finally open the file.
