• Visual Basic Shut Down PC

  Is there a way to shut down a PC using the framenetwork I tried the "shutdown /s" command but the shell doesn't work on my PC. Thanks. there isnt a class that does this in the .NET Framework but using the shutdown command will work, if your OS supports the shutdown command (Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, XP and Vista). The correct way of doing so if you have the above:   Dim thePSI as new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo("shutdown.exe") thePSI.Arguments = "/m \\ computerName /s /t 10" System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(thePSI)   does this not work for you If it works, it should shutdown the computer after 10 seconds   alternatively you could ...Show All

• Visual Studio Too much network I/O

  Hi All... I'm running Visual Studio with Sourcesafe 6.0. I've just loaded a project from sourcesafe. When I go into Windows Explorer and browser to where the project is stored, it looks like all the files are there. But when I try and open the web.config file from the solution explorer, the network traffic goes through the ceiling and the Studio pretty much just hangs. I'm working remotely from the sourcesafe database so I'm sure that doesnt help. I've also implemented some of the tricks found on the web like specifying temps files to be local - to make sourcesafe run faster. It runs fine on another machine thats still running dev studio 6.0.... So what's it doing with all this network I/O Thanks! -- Curt ...Show All
