Question Backup (Got that) at 12:00 Midnight Only on certain days of the week

[bionide]

Hey guys, im semi-new to vb.net and heres what i got.

My dad asked me to make him a backup program, so i found an open source vb.net backup project. He was it to backup his specified files every night but only shutdown Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday.

This is what i got sofar

    Private Sub Timer2_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer2.Tick
        If DateTime.Now.Hour = Int32.Parse(12:00) Then
            ' If mirrorcopy then warn the user.

            ' Reset variables
            _stopped = False

            ' Create the FileCopy class which will initiate the threads
            CopyFiles = New FileCopy


            CopyFiles.FromPath = FromPathTextbox.Text
            CopyFiles.ToPath = ToPathTextbox.Text
            CopyFiles.InitialMessage = "*** MODE IS WINFORMS ***"
            If CopyFiles.MirrorCopy Then
                CopyFiles.InitialMessage = "*** MODE IS WINFORMS - MIRROR COPY IS SET ***"
            End If
            If CopyFiles.QuietLog Then
                CopyFiles.InitialMessage += vbCrLf & "Logging is quiet - not verbose."
            Else
                CopyFiles.InitialMessage += vbCrLf & "Logging is not quiet - its verbose."
            End If

            ' Initiate the copy, count and mirror threads from the FileCopy class
            CopyFiles.StartCopy()

            WorkingBar.Minimum = 0
            WorkingBar.Maximum = 100
            WorkingLabel.Visible = True
            WorkingBar.Visible = True

            ' Reset form controls
            StartCopy.Enabled = False
            StopCopy.Enabled = True
            ViewLog.Enabled = True

            System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("ShutDown", "/r")

        End If
    End Sub

So 3 questions.
1) How do i make it so it backups up and shuts down at 12:00 AM
2) Is my shutdown code correct, meaning it will do the backup THEN shutdown and not shoot the code then shut down before its done.
3)... how do i make it only shutdown Monday T W T's



o.o....

I'd make it so that the program backs up certain files then exits.. Use the windows task scheduler to perform the scheduling

That said, the built in backup can schedule in this way; howcome youre reinventing the wheel?
