Sir,

When I used following code in my vb.net project then it worked and shuted-down computer after 60 sec.

VB

Dim cmd
      Dim obj
      cmd = ("shutdown -s -t 60 -f")
      obj = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
      obj.run(cmd)

But I want to use a textbox in which user will type time as his need. So I modified code and used following code but it did not work.

VB

Dim cmd
       Dim obj
       cmd = ("shutdown -s -t" & val(textbox1.text) * 60 "-f")
       obj = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
       obj.run(cmd)

Please help me.

Regards,
Zubair
