I'm doing some math with the Timespans in .Net, and occasionally the sum results in a negative Timespan. When I display the result I am having trouble formatting it to include the negative indicator.
Dim ts as New Timespan(-10,0,0)
ts.ToString()
This will display "-10:00:00", which is good but I don't want to show the seconds so tried this.
ts.ToString("hh:mm")
This returns "10:00" and has dropped the "-" from the front which is the crux of the issue. My current solution is this:
A TimeSpan by default shows hours, minutes & seconds when converted to a string. How do I show only hours & minutes? I tried ts.ToString("hh:mm") but that doesn't work.
Is it possible in an datagridview to use different formatting for negative, positive and zerovalues?I want to show positive numbers in black, negative numbers in red, and zero-values hidden.
I'm working on a timekeeping application in Visual Basic 2008 and am having trouble formatting a timespan for display. Here's how I want to the information:If a positive number my Label will be: lblTimespan.txt will show as "12 Hours And 15 Minutes" This works fine.If its a negative number I want to display it as "(12 Hours And 15 Minutes)'[ in red. The problem is that I can't get rid of the minus sign. [code] Thr Replace doesn't seem to want to replace the "-", can anyone suggest what to do?
I have a requirement that regardless of the start and dates that I need to loop through that timespan and calculate figures at the month level. I cannot seem to figure it out, and maybe it is not possible, but I would like to do something like:
FOREACH Month As TimeSpan in ContractRange.Months Do Calculations (Month.Start, Month.End) NEXT
Is this possible or do I need to calculate the number of months, and just iterate through the amount of months and calculate the start/end of that month based on my index?
I have some VB .NET software that interfaces to a load of old (but sound) COM objects. The VB provides a GUI for the COM objects, part of which consists of setting various options on the COM objects - several of which relate to string formatting.I have a simple pair of VB .NET functions that convert basic %f, %d, %g formats to/from .NET equivalents using a large select case covering specific common strings, but they don't cover all formats.[code]Before I start diving in and making it more versatile with some parsing, does anyone know of a class (eg VB or C# .NET) that provides a decent ready-made implementation? Or perhaps some regexp wizadry could be used?
I don't know the word for this in english, but I want less number behind the comma in a timespan. This is because I generate a report for the user which shows the value of a timespan. But 00:05:01:230000 is not really necessary for the user. It will just confuse him/her.
I tried to parse string to TimeSpan like the following :
Dim dt As DateTime = DateTime.Now Dim timeCheckin As String = Format(dt, "HH:MM:FF") ts = TimeSpan.Parse(timeCheckin)
It threw error like this:
System.OverflowException: The TimeSpan could not be parsed because at least one of the hours, minutes, or seconds components is outside its valid range.
I have want to add timespan which is storen in labels. I am trying to add those timespan . it does not give any error mess but doesnt even add timespan
Dim totaltime As TimeSpan totaltime = TimeSpan.Parse(mtothrs0.Text) + TimeSpan.Parse(ttothrs0.Text) wtothrs0.Text = totaltime.ToString when i run the program , it only shows the value of mtothrs0.text but does not add the value of ttothrs0.Text
i have got a value in time span lets say: tsp1= 2 hour 5 minuts i have a another time span variable which contains value like: tsp2= 0 hours , 2 minuts?how can i divide tsp1 by tsp2 so than i can get exact number of times tsp2 divied the tsp1 and how much value is remaining.i am using vs2008?
I am having an error from the date I retrieved based on my query.txtArrivalTime.Text = rdDate.Item("arrivaltime")Using the code, I got this error...Conversion from type 'TimeSpan' to type 'String' is not valid.But when I execure my query on my DB GUI, I got this value 17:25:43.Is there a way I can handle this?
I would like to be able to (on button click) start a countdown (in minute intervals, that also updates every minute) from the current time to a timespan that already exists.I read somewhere there are a few different timers, I need a solution that I can use in windows phone 7 as well as in a windows forms application.I'm aware there are a lot of existing questions, I just can't seem to find one that does this exact thing if someone could point me in the right direction even?
I want to use a BindingSource to filter data from a database based on column of type Time but I cannot figure out the syntax for the filter. The filter will select records before or after an entered time. When I use a format of'10:30:00' the complaint is that a TimeSpan and String cannot be compared. Omit the 's and the :s are invalid.
I have the following code, and I want it to act as a stopwatch.
Dim spn As New TimeSpan(0, 0, 0) Private Sub elapsedtime_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles elapsedtime.Tick spn = spn.Add(New TimeSpan(0, 0, 1)) Label6.Text = String.Format("{1}:{2}", spn.Hours, spn.Minutes, spn.Seconds) End Sub
However, when the "stopwatch" ticks, the time is shown like this - 0:3, 2:9, etc. How can I change it so that when the seconds are in the single digits, it shows the time like a normal clock (4:05, 2:09, etc.)?
I am working on a timekeeping application in VB 2008 and need to show elapsed time in hours and minutes. I have no problem eliminating seconds but if the hours exceed 24 the time is displayed as days.hours:minutes and what I need is to show (for instance) 30 hours and 15 minutes as 30:15 not 1.6:15
Is there a better way then using code like: strHours = (TimeSpan.Days * 24) + TimeSpan.Hours strMinutes = TimeSpan.Minutes strTotalTime = strHours & ":" & strMinutes
Let just say I have an Integer like 10,000 (that's the VALUE in want to reach). So, I have another integer like 2500 (that's my current VALUE). Third I have another Integer about 350 PER HOUR. To reach 10,000 I need 7,500 (well I already have 2,500). How long must I wait to reach the 10,000 when the increase is about 350 a Hour. Okay, that's easy: 7,500 / 350 = 21,428571 Hours. BUT how can I convert this double to a timespan? Or how is it possible to add this double value to the current Date to get the Date + Time when I reach the Value?
I'm currently struggling on how to make a comparison between a timespan value and the current time.I went up to here, but the comparison totaal with the current time doesn't work .
I'm trying to import XML duration data into my app and store it as a Timespan.An XElement named 'Q' has a child element 'Timer' of type xs:duration. To extract the value I use the code below:
Dim Timer As Timespan If Not TimeSpan.TryParse(Q.<Timer>.Value, Timer) Then Timer = Nothing
I'm trying to remove an item from a TimeSpan list but I need a TimeSpan for the index? If I use a List(Of String) it works fine if I use an integer for the index, but if I use List(Of TimeSpan) it wants a TimeSpan for the index. I have declared a variable like so:
vb Dim TempTime, TimeRemover As List(Of TimeSpan)
but when I try to remove an item from the timespan it says it needs a Timespan and not an integer. Say I have:
vb For x = 0 To 3TempTime.Remove(x)Next
That doesn't work, but if I have:
vb For x = 0 To 3TempTime.Remove(TimeRemover)Next
It will work How can I just remove an item from a TimeSpan list?
EDIT: Figured it out, RemoveAt was what I was looking for.
I'm trying to save a TimeSpan variable from VB into a SQL database, into a non-null column.It works fine for other values, but when I try to save 00:00:00 I am told that I cannot save NULL into a non-null column...Is there a way to get it to actually save this rather than think that it's NULL?
Note: This code is a method in a class, which has a property:
Private mCommand As New SqlCommand Dim Param As New SqlParameter Param.ParameterName = "@" + ParameterName[code]......
I am trying to multiply timespan by an integer....
Private Sub wtothrs0_MouseClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles wtothrs0.MouseClick Dim temp As TimeSpan = TimeSpan.Parse(ttothrs0.Text) + TimeSpan.Parse(wetothrs0.Text) wtothrs0.Text = temp.ToString
[code]....
i gives the error mes "Input string was not in a correct format."
