There are times when I’m just too tired to seat and wait for my downloads or a running program to finish before i turnoff my computer. Search the internet, i found Stevepuri shutdown timer created in Windows Forms (i learned a lot from his application).I decided to create one myself since I’m learning WPF (Windows presentation foundation).
Computer shutdown timer allows you to run Windows power options (Hibernate,LogOff,Restart,PowerOff,Sleep and Shutdown) by selecting a date and time. If the checkbox “Force shutdown” is clicked, the option Force shutdown will be added to the dropdown list. choosing another power option will remove the “Force shutdown” option.
WARNING: The “Force Shutdown” will close all running program. All unsaved data will be lost.
Thanks to mentalist.org for providing the windowsController.cs class file.
Here is the setup file for installation.
To force shutdown, check the “Force shutdown” checkbox and option will appear after accepting the warning Info about forcing shutdown
