using VB6 is a real bad idea. Use some newer Versions as Vb.net.
Always remember VB6 code isnt portable to VB.net, so VB6 is lost.

Hi
I need to shutdown remote systems running on windows xp with Dotnet Framework 1.1 installed. The user is limited on these machines.
I have used the following methods to shutdown the systems.
1. wmi
Dim oOS, oOperatingSystem As Object
oOS = GetObject("winmgmts:{(Shutdown)}").ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")
For Each oOperatingSystem In oOS
oOperatingSystem.Win32Shutdown(nForcePowerDown)
Next
2. shutdown.exe of xp
The problem is using the wmi sometime fails for reasons I don't know. The other method needs Admin privileges. Which is also an overhead.
What should I do? Use the API or there is some other way?
Please help as search over internet has not helped me much.
Thanks
reman

Let's just assume that your reasons for wanting to do this are entirely legitimate.
Think about it, if it were possible to just shut down a remote system, without admin privileges, what would keep hackers from doing so?
My advice is free, and you may get what you paid for.

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.

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().

Dim tcpstat As TcpStatistics = Nothing
txtbox.Text = ""

txtbox = tcp.ToString()
Next

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...

lol my question is then i would be. that im unable to display the tcp statistics in my text box

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.
