I had a similar problem and solved it using
Public Function FileInUse(ByVal sFile As String) As Boolean
If System.IO.File.Exists(sFile) Then
Try
Dim F As Short = FreeFile()
FileOpen(F, sFile, OpenMode.Binary, OpenAccess.ReadWrite, OpenShare.LockReadWrite)
FileClose(F)
Catch
Return True
End Try
End If
End Function
usage
Do While FileInUse(sSourcePath & "\" & sFileName & "." & sExtension)
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000)
sTimeOut += 1
If sTimeOut = 15 Then
WriteLogLog("File " & sFile & " in use.")
Exit Sub
End If
Loop
Im testing each second if the file can be opened, if it can't then it is because it is in use. When the loop ends I know my file is no longer in use.
best regards

HI All,
I am an non IT guy who does no know much about VBScript. I wanted to try out something new  . I want to code VB Script to automatically turning off the monitor when it is idle for a minute. Please let me know how the code would work and the code using VB Script.... 
|
|

|
|
You're not going to get any code to do this as VBScritp can't do the things required to pull this off.
But, you can always use this[^].

I'd rather opt for a Group Policy which could be distributed in your domain (assuming that you want your setting to be used on all computers of your company).

Thanks for the reply, I will need to read about that stuff before i can attempt it but its a good starting point thank you

Log in as 'sa' and execute this command:
SELECT
(Physical_memory_in_bytes/1024.0)/1024.0 AS Physical_memory_in_Mb
FROM
sys.dm_os_sys_info
No special privileges for this command:
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('productversion'), SERVERPROPERTY ('productlevel'), SERVERPROPERTY ('edition')
Please remember to vote if you find this helpful.

I am trying to monitor network bandwidth usage on a per user basis and am new to vb.net. I have a list of users with their IP addresses already if that helps.
Basically trying to mimic the remote desktop service manager.
I am lost when it comes to this so any information about how to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated.
Is this even possible?

Hard to answer; when I use "Fiddler" to monitor the traffic, I can see what's going on in detail. There's probably examples on using the same "winpcap" from .NET here on CodeProject.
Still, I think "time" is more frequently (and easier) used to limit the users' access.

Hello All -
I have seen on this site Article 42852 / Reading-Barcodes-from-an-Image-III, however, this appears to only read the first page of a multipage tiff. I need to find something that can read all the pages (could be a 500 page tiff) for barcodes. Also, does anyone know of a sample project on this site (or any other site) with source code to do this and scan a folder of tiff images instead one at a time.
Thanks in advanced.

If you need to find it, good luck.
To create it;
- Isolate the trick from the article to a minimal console-app
- Try fetch total number of pages on a given TIFF file
- Try fetch specific page of a given TIFF file
- do trick N times, while showing progress bar

It'll be quite expensive to do them "all at once", it there's over a hundred. Doing above trick for each file in a directory, is explained here[^]

I am trying to get all logged on users and their IPAddresses and display them in a data grid veiw in a windows form using VB.net I have tried the below code and it appears to get the users on a windows 7 machine but not on servers. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.
Public Shared Function GetUsers() As List(Of Users)
Dim UserList As New List(Of Users)
Try
Using searcher = New ManagementObjectSearcher("root\CIMV2", "SELECT * FROM Win32_LogonSession WHERE LogOnType = 2")
For Each queryObj As ManagementObject In searcher.Get()
Dim qry As String = "Associators of " _
& "{Win32_LogonSession.LogonId=" & queryObj.GetPropertyValue("LogonId") & "} " _
& "Where AssocClass=Win32_LoggedOnUser Role=Dependent"
Using iSearch = New ManagementObjectSearcher(qry)
For Each res As ManagementObject In iSearch.Get()
Dim ret As New Users(res.GetPropertyValue("Name"), _
"", "")
UserList.Add(ret)
Next
End Using
Next
End Using
Return UserList
Catch err As ManagementException
MessageBox.Show(err.Message)
Return UserList
End Try
End Function
|

Unless the users are logged in on Remote Desktop (or Terminal Services) to the server, this code won't show you anything on the server.
LogOnType = 2 is Interactive logons only. Remove the WHERE clause and see what you get.

Thanks so much for the reply
What I am trying to do is determine all users logged on to a server and then get their IPAdresses and any other information I can get on them.
I did what you suggested but for some reason this also included Local Services,Network Services and others in the list of users. Also every user in the list was triplicated.
This is the first project I have done in VB.net so forgive me if i come off as a novice.
Any information or code samples would be greatly appreciated.

and what were their LogOnTypes??
I have no idea what kind of user you're looking for! "Logged on users" can mean anything depending on HOW they are logged on. Are they remote desktop sessions? HTTP Sessions? Mapped drives?? Each of these is a different logon type and needs to be handled differently.

Thanks for the reply,
I am trying to get all users that are on the server that have remoted in and their IPAddresses. Similar to what is showing in the task manager under the users tab and in the terminal service manager.

That's obtained from the WMI provider for Remote Desktop. You're using the LogOnSession class, which is a bit too high level for what you're looking for. You can find the docs on these classes here[^].

Thanks for the reply,
I will look into what you have suggested, do you by any chance have any code samples of how this works? If not no worries,
Thanks!!

Nope. I've never had to do what you're doing.
