If you want to do remote shutdown, you need Admin privileges on the remote machine to do it. There is no way around it, for obvious reasons.

You should buy a very basic book and work through it berfore continuing this task.

You have a sub inside a sub. Remove the button4_click sub, or put an end sub at the bottom of it.

2-Aug-09 11:46

I think the cause of the error is really quite obvious. You didn't terminate your Protected Sub Button4_Click() method with an End Sub before you started with Public Shared Sub ShowTcpStatistics().

not sure why he wrote that. it does not work. text has an overload but it only extracts the character position at the given number textbox1.text(3)

OK, that's interesting. It's a property AND a method ? I didn't know that. Either way, his response looked to me like a further question, but no question was present, so I was trying to guess the problem

I just tried it. It probably is 2 properties that are overloaded 'a' = text for the example

Public ReadOnly Property a(ByVal idx As Int16) As String
    Get
        'extracts character at position
    End Get
End Property

Public Property a() As String
    Get

    End Get
    Set(ByVal value As String)

    End Set
End Property

I'm not certain, but I think it's just a property. It returns String, and the String object has a built in indexer. Just like you could have a List(Of List(Of Integer)), and use lst(0)(1) and get an Integer back

No not working yet it suppose to display Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4) statistical data for the local computer to my textbox name txtbox. i used this in the ping and it worked fine

Dim ping As Ping = New Ping()
Dim pingreply As PingReply = ping.Send(txtHost.Text)
txtPing.Text &= "Address: " & pingreply.Address.ToString() & Constants.vbCr
txtPing.Text &= "Roundtrip Time: " & pingreply.RoundtripTime & Constants.vbCr
txtPing.Text &= "TTL (Time to Live): " & pingreply.Options.Ttl & Constants.vbCr
txtPing.Text &= "Buffer Size: " & pingreply.Buffer.Length.ToString() & Constants.vbCr

So what's this?? You didn't ask a question and I'm not inclined to just start throwing test apps together to guess what you want out of this...

I responded four hours ago to try to keep helping you, but you didn't even reply ?

You need to read a pretty basic VB.NET book. You seem to be making code up instead of knowing what you're doing. The best way to do what you want, is use a StringBuilder to build the message, as it's multiline from what I can tell, and then set that text to the Text property.

Your textbox lines are a bit funny. You seem to think there is a .Text method on it, but .Text is actually a property. Since you keep replacing the .Text property with a new line of text, the last line you supply is blank, so nothing will show up in the textbox.

Serisouly, pickup a beginners book on VB.NET. You're missing some really basic concepts that we really can't describe to you in forum posts.

Hi,

How to enum each charcter of string.

I am trying but getting error:

For i = 0 To Len(s) - 1
c = c Xor s[i] 'error here
Next i

What is the error.

If you want people to help you, you must help them!

A lot of CP members would be able to guess the error correctly, but most can't.

You can use for each to more succinctly move through a string. VB does not use [] or <>, it's designed for non programmers and always uses ().

you cannot use "for each" to go through the content of a string. if it was a string array then yes but not a single string.

Really ? I didn't realise VB sucked like that. In C#, we can use foreach to iterate through the chars of a string.

It doesn't actually suck that much, with VB you can iterate through the characters in a string no problem. I think Larson was just being nit picky. I.e. you would have to convert the string to an array of characters (SomeString.ToCharArray()) before you can iterate through it.

My advice is free, and you may get what you paid for.
