Making a shutdown timer in Visual Studio 2008

[Silent~Kid]

I thought that this is the place to post my query.! I am trying to make the shutdown timer for practice. I am trying a lot of things but not getting the desired results. I have the GUI there and everything i just dont know how to put it together. I am using the Visual Studio 2008. So do I need to use the Combo Box to delay the shutdown.exe.?? Does any one know how to make a Shut Down timer in Visual Studio 2008.?? Please help me to sort out this problem.

I am not having much knowledge about the Visual Studio. But I know the coding of the shutdown timer in Visual Basic. The VB has a function called Shell(). If you want to shut down in 90 seconds, then you can use the following code :

Shell("shutdown /s /t 90")

After using this command the shutdown will occur after 90 seconds. The string passed to Shell() is the command that is going to run, as if you would have ran it directly from the command line or used a batch file. If you want to see more about the shutdown, you can use 'shutdown /?'.

I know that code of shutdown timer in VB .Net. The code in the VB.Net would be like below :

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(milliseconds)

Where milliseconds is an integer that tell the program how many milliseconds to wait before it continues. Also you can declare in the following way :

Public Shared Sub Sleep ( _
    millisecondsTimeout As Integer _
)

And this code for the usage in Visual Basic

Dim millisecondsTimeout As Integer
Thread.Sleep(millisecondsTimeout)

It's very bad to tell that even I don't know the code for making a shutdown timer in Visual Studio. I know the coding in C# , Visual C++ and JavaScript. Maybe this will help someone :
In C#, you can use the following :

public static void Sleep(
    int millisecondsTimeout
)

For the Visual C++

public:
static void Sleep(
    int millisecondsTimeout
)

And if you are using the JScript

public static function Sleep(
    millisecondsTimeout : int
)

Feeling bad for not providing the exact codes needed, but this can help someone else.

I think that you should try the same coding on the Visual Basic. When compared to Visual Basic, the Visual Studio is not that friendly. So i would like to suggest you to go for the Visual Basic 6.0 if possible. In VB you can use the function called Shell() for making a shut down timer as mentioned by the 'Praetor'. That will certainly help you in the Visual Basic.
