Writing application for net usage

first the exe :: [DEPRECATED]~~here~~

the network connection "Local Area Connection" is hard coded. please remove 1 or 2 for application to work

i am writing it as download speeds drop sometimes to 10 KB/s etc. at night
it is painful that computer was on all night and with only 4MB of download
(specially if u spend 1.5K per month on electricity)

will be adding a shutdown timer too
double click on taskbar icon to toggle states.

color code:
green: current download above minimun download rate (in KB/s)
yellow :current download between minimun rate and 1/3 of dwnl rate(in KB/s)
red :current download below minimun download rate (in KB/s)

please comment

U

gives this exception

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

^^ it is because the network name was not named properly

no problem though

version 2.0 release is here [UPDATED]

features:
> selectable network adapter
> support for time out for shutdown, hibernate etc...
> better exception handling
> new grey icon if minimum speed for downloading is not set
> extra property display

the shutdown and restart is not tested on win 7

win 7 users, please check it out

> do you find it useful ? i would have if had to pay for electricity
> is there such a app elsewhere ?? dont know this is the first one i have encountered.

you should also add a minimize button so that application will hide on minimize

file updated in the post. right click the taskbar icon to exit. close button minimizes application.

Version 2.5 Alpha

> included auto Wake UP. dependent on the user BIOS and mobo driver.

note: still in alpha stage. the computer restarts two times. will look into it tommorrow

requesting TDF members to review it and post comments

tried it ! it works and the concept is interesting and useful.
I'll keep the application around for when I need to do an overnight download. Thanks!
Suggestion: you may want to add somewhere a description of what the program does. A one liner like: "this program turn's off the PC when the download speed drops below a certain level"

^^ thanks 4 sugess.

any other relevant functionality that can be added ???

nope, you are already adding the shutdown timer, so that seems feature complete to me...

it gives this .NET framework initialization error
"unable to find a version of the runtime to run this app"

i installed .NET framework 4 this morning... which version does it require?

^^requires .NET 3.5. should work on .net 4 as well.

it have VS2010. So that can be easily arranged

here is the 64bit version on .NET 4

i may add that installing .net 4 on XP will not install .net 3.5 unlike win 7 that has .net 3.5 SP1 at installation time

EDIT------------------------------------------------------------------

my app still has bugs but i have no time to fix them.

office timings are killing me

Can somebody run it through a sandbox and report bugs, memory leaks, time etc....

:cryeyesout:

nothing
