The simple way is to just count the total datetime then add it on a CountDownBox on properties then you will need to trace the shutdown events so that even if you close the program but it will keep a record of the last count before it shutdown so when you re-run it, it will then read the time from the disc. but let me first show you how I done this all. let say you want to count the 24Hours so if your timer will fire in minutes (1000) interval then here is how you count it. We know that you will be using the minutes so you start from 1000 x 60 x 24 = 1440000 so you will put the 1440000 to the properties of the CountDownBox then on your timer interval should be 1000 not 100 unless you counted from 100 not 1000 and your timer code will be like this

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
CountDownBox.Text = CountDownBox.Text - 1
If CountDownBox.text = 0 Then
Timer1.stop()
Else
' Do Nothing ather then Counting down
CountDownBox.Text = CountDownBox.Text - 1
End If
End Sub

then you have to track the shutdown events so that when you have close and rerun it wont start over and over again when ever you re-run the program. Hope I answered your Question.

Hello Every one.

I'm trying to create a VOIP SIP SDK or a VIOP application for black berry and you can call me damn becuase I have all the required Libraries files and all the related files which are writen in C# and C++ but the problem is that I haven't done those languages I'm only using VB. so if you may be wanderring where did I get this files well I got the OPAL and the Pjsip which are the public or can be used and be reworked for any purpose so I need help to make a Client and a server applications just like the Ozeki but i just want to only make not receive calls, Please anyone with a good help thanks.

Ow thanks but I manage to make it run or automatically start when a computer starts up, I wouldn't be able to use that method you gave me because if I wanted it to automatically run when a computer starts up so the code that I posted I was trying to locate and automatically copy once only the application file to a startup folder because I saw that by putting my applivcation file there on a startup folder it automatically runs it so I was trying to copy the program to a startup folder but I manage to get the right code for register because the program is going to be used by the puplic so it must do this automatically. but thank you for your help.

Ow jea, Well I don't know whether you can help me here I'm stuck, I've created a program and now I want to make it automatically run when a computer starts and if I do this manually it work perfectly but when I try to write codes to eigther copy or move my program from the installation Directory to the Startup Directory it giving me the error msg when debugging it. here is the code I'm using to copy it.

My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.CurrentUserApplicationData And ("\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\The name of my program.exe"), My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.CurrentUserApplicationData And ("\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"))

in the above line of code when I run the program it says conversion from string "C:\Users\my pc user name\AppData\Roamin" to type 'Long' is not valid
and if I put the + sign replacing the joining And world it says illegal Charectors in path and if I put the & sign to join it says Illegal Charectors in path, Please help me as soon as possible. or any better way I can instruct to read the Roaming Folder because my application is installed there when I install it on my computer.

Well I know this kinder old post but there are some horrible questions asked here, @sasankkanda there are so many ways to hide programs well I'm new in programming but I spend most of my time creating programs and learning new ways of dowing things, just the simple way to answer you Question, if your program is one form aka Form1 only then you will simply have to click the interface then go to properties then locate "Show Icon on ..." then both the above and bellow you have to change it to false this will just not show your applicaions icon on taskbar and on proccessor then the next thing you have to make your program run but it will be invissible so you just have to add any text editor tool e.g. Label, TextBox, ect, let say you choose Textbox now place your textBox on your Interface and since you want it to be Invissible that means there is nothing required from the user so the TextBox must be ontop of everything covering it all the Form1's Body then now you need to click this TextBox Then go to properties and Change Forecolor to Black, BackColor to Black and transparant to Black or to all you can just Choose the transparent color Note that all the color must be in the same name just like Black if you choose black then you have to work with it not Black and lite Balck. now Doble click the form1 to …
