Hi,
The Microsoft.Win32 namespace has a SystemEvents class containing a SessionEnding event. The associated SessionEndingEventArgs has a Reason property which can have a value of Logoff or SystemShutdown. I think that's what you need.

I think that would work.

Hi all.
I want to get all files information stored in a network directory.
Suppose I have a website www.abc.com and it has a directory say www.abc.com/temp/
Now I want to get all the files stored in that temp directory.
Suggest me how can I do this?
Thanks.

Log in through FTP and get the directories or files available, if it is a webserver and you're trying to get the contents of that directory, typically if there is no index file it will show you a list of files and directories available. If there is an index file, as far as I know you're out of luck.

Yes it is a webserver and I am trying to get the contents of that directory but I don't know what exactly to do so.
Can you explain with some piece of code??
Thanks.

Please help and guide me.

Surely all this information is already available to the network administrator in various logs.
This has more than a wiff of malicious software  .

Either that or 1984 might be good reading for him.

I think he either uses it to put himself to sleep or thinks we are complete idiots. No doubt someone will point him to an article that will allow him to do this.

Actually there is a client, he wants to monitor all the web request, he don't wants to go on particular machine but he wants to receive an email containing that URI/URLs. it is totally new task for me and i thought that code project family member can do everything that's why i need your help.
so tell me is it possible by vb.net programming or not.
Thanks

You can have a service that will read the url from the browser and collect it somewhere. Then at a predefined time, it can get all of that and send it in email.
Do not rely on checking history since, user can clear it any time and you wont get correct result.
Google would tell how to get the url from browser.

This is what a proxy server is for. You don't install something like this on every client PC. You set it up between your clients and the Internet. The clients browsers would have to do through the proxy to get at the Internet. The proxy does all the filtering for blocked sites and can log all activity.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So your client doesn't know how to use his proxy server, can't be bothered to look in the help, and you have agreed to provide him with something he already has. Monitoring this on each PC is insane when there are already server logs and reporting built in to all proxy server software to give him the information he wants. Or does you client have every machine in the office separately connected to their own individual internet connections?
This is a basic network administration task not a programming exercise.
Plus of course while you can monitor browser activity and send the visited URL list to someone, that is definitely Hacker territory. Such software exists already and are known as trojan horse viruses, malware etc.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.

I don't get that point. How can reading internet history or the current url be malicious? I dont see any extremely important data in URLs which needs to be secured from others. If it was the case, why keep it in url in first place.

There are existing tools for achieving this, any semi competant network administrator knows how and where to set this type of monitoring up. The person wants to create a monitoring system outside the standard channels that will periodicalyy email all the URL to ... someone. While it may not be malicious it feels that way to me.
If I manage to get that app onto your machine, I get all the URLs you visit, I now know your social profile and any online banking sites you visit. I can tailor a phishing attack directly at you. Scuse me while I just go and get my foil beanie but I recently got an email from my daughter inviting me to facebook, the only clue was that she did not use her married name and sure enough there was a trojan at the other end of the link.
If this is innocent I am willing to appologise, but I will not help this person. As Bob said, he got the contract with no knowledge how to acheive the clients needs.

The requirement is awful, I agree. There must be a proxy server to monitor all this. But if the application is for some school/college or something on similar lines, I suspect they would have one.
Mycroft Holmes wrote: If I manage to get that app onto your machine, I get all the URLs you visit, I now know your social profile
Absolutely not required. Facebook or many other social profiles can be obtained very easily (just a click away, seriously). Hence I would not waste time in making such application if I had wrong intentions.

Sorry, but I don't care. I was just curious why you thought this application malicious.

You should, actually; you could get into a heap o' trouble if you aid someone who is breaking the law.

Not in this regard, you have to know before-hand that you are contributing to a malicious cause, in this case this type of functionality could very well be justified.
Either way I wouldn't help, but you can't say something like that without justifiable reason behind it. Otherwise you are just fear-mongering.

It's not that black and white; if the client is a internet-cafe, then he/she might not be aware of the implications of tracking personal data. It's their computers, it's their data. Right?
The client might not even have a malicious intent, and still ask you to break the law. Most of us won't be sure whether it's being broken, as an engineer isn't a lawyer. Does that mean that we can thread any law, just because we don't know them?
If this is seen as mongering, then please, do accept my apologies. It's not like I just wanted to troll around and spread some paranoia; I just stumbled over an "I don't care" and tried to point out that there's a risk in simply shrugging your shoulders.

It is not in relation to what OP is asking. I said that for Mycroft saying that he would apologize if he was wrong about OP's intentions. I really don't care if he does that or doesn't.
He had an opinion, told that to OP. What's wrong in it? I had different opinion, so I gave a different reply.
