Error trying to compile plugin.

[pastro]

I was trying to modify the shutdown plugin source code to get it working on my system but I get a bunch of error messages which I have included below from SharpDevelop when the solution loads.

GBPVRBackendCommon.dll is the latest version. Anyone have any ideas? Also, the solution was converted from a 1.x combine if that helps.

Have you tried it in C# express? Maybe worth a try.

Out of interest what does the Shutdown plug-in offer that the System screen doesn't?

If I shutdown from the run menu, it shuts down and turns the power off.

If you're still having trouble with the plugin you could try going down the custom task route:

Good idea. I'll try that.

Actually the shutdown custom task doesn't include a shutdown.exe. Only hibernate or suspend. I'll search around for a shutdown prog and use that.

I never tried custom tasks before. I just added "Start VNC" and "Stop VNC" custom tasks to start/stop the vnc server for when I want to do remote administration. Works like a charm.

you can use the PStools .. you can then execute PSShutdown \\<your computer>

if your still looking for an exe.

That worked. Too bad you can't get source code anymore. Strange that the internal version in GBPVR doesn't work for my system correctly.

You could always post this as a support issue and see if sub has any ideas.

The ShutDown plugin uses the WMI Win32_OperatingSystem class to invoke either the Shutdown method or the Reboot method. The first looks like it would leave a machine in the 'safe to power off' state. To force power off would need the Win32Shutdown method.

If sub is using similar code then it might explain the problem - but that's over to him.
