[RESOLVED] Background Worker

[tassa]

Hi!! I made a program that if the date of the DateTimePicker1 = the actual date, then i would turn off the computer...

Ok, so that was easy... But the problem comes when i want to close the program... Is there any way to have the program working in the background comparing both dates and when they are the same, turns off the computer?

I have provided a submission in the CodeBank that shows how to minimise to the notification area (system tray) instead of closing. That way your app is still running and, therefore, still processing. Follow the advice in my signature to find the thread.

That s right, you do followwing jm , and remember use timer to compare date,

i dont know clearly about your program but the date which you said is that timeofday?

if so you use datatimepicker what for.

and if not , it is date , so user have to use more 1 days then computer will turnoff ?

or you have opotion time for turning off computer .

I'm using the DateTimePicker, but the command that I'm using to turn off the computer isn't working... I gotta check that.

I'm using a timer to check every hour if the dates are the same....
