If your Scheduled Tasks can do it why must use VB.NET. VB.NET is good does
not mean you must do everything in VB.NET.

You can use the Windows Task Scheduler to schedule a task at a specific
time:

I have a puzzling form timer problem that I didn't experience prior to Access 2003 (though I'm not sure access 2003 is to blame). Here's the situation: a computer has two access 2003 databases on it, a frontend and a backend. Case 1: If vba code on the frontend updates many rows (360,000) on the backend, a form's timer event (from the frontend) will stop firing until the user gives the form focus. (Note that the update itself always...

I've created a pocketpc app which has a startup form containing a listview. The form creates an object which in turn creates a System.Threading.Timer. It keeps track of the Timer state using a TimerState object similar to the example in the System.Threading.Timer documentation. The method which handles the timer events, among other things, periodically calls a method in this TimerState object which raises an event to the startup form,...

I have created an array of timers (1-n). At first I just created windows form timers but I read that system timers are better for background work. The timers will just be monitoring different directories and updating a database. No interaction with the GUI. Problem is that the system timers do not have a tag property so I can tie in an object. example (old way):

I have a .net service that runs a System.Threading.Timer. The delegate points to the function that the service should execute when the timer elapses. Problem: The timer is not ticking.

I have a Timer that I set to go off once a day, but it frequently fails! In order to debug I would like to be able to check, at any moment, whether the Timer is enabled and when it will next Elapse. Is there any way -- whether in my code, or in the O/S -- to determine when a Timer is scheduled to Elapse?

Note that although this involves SAPI, it is more a question about Timers and event handlers. I wrote a Speech Recognize handler (SAPI), and put some code in it to enable a Timer. It would not do it. If I bring this same code outside this event handler, it works just fine. Is this normal?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
