i am making a shutdown timer for practice (and i need one that actually works how i need it to)
basically i got it to shutdown on demand, but i cant delay it. I have the GUI there and everything i just dont know how to put it together.
So what i need is a way to delay shutdown.exe using a combo box or somethig.

Ps i am using visual studio 2008.
Thanks.
(please help im tryin to get most of it done before school starts again)

Well I don't know visual studio 2008, but here's a general method. Get the system time, put it in a variable then keep getting them time till it has increased by X amount. eg start time = 07:00:00 you want it to shutdown after an hour, when the time = 08:00:00 start shutting down.
There may also be a build in timer function in vs08 but I don't know

If you want to shutdown after a certain amount of time, you can use the Sleep Method.
In VB.Net the call would look like this:
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(milliseconds)
where milliseconds is an integer that tell the program how many milliseconds to wait before it continues.
