Folks this is what I'm using to parse an RSS feed for the last updated time. Is there a quicker way? Speed seems to be a bit slow on it as it pulls down the entire feed before parsing.
I have a web app with a form that I am trying to pass to an ASP.NET server (using VB.NET) and then on to a MS SQL Server table. The form uses a jQuery datepicker in several textboxes and formats them as MM/dd/yyyy. The form fields are then passed through a PageMethod to the web server which takes the various field values and combines them into a SQL UPDATE command.
I am constantly getting the following error whenever I try to execute the SQL command:Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.Here is the code on the server:
Using myConn As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(CString.ConnectionString) myConn.Open() Dim cmd As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("UPDATE table " & _
[code]....
Note: I've tried about twenty different ways of parsing the dates, converting them to dates, changing around the formats and none of it has worked.
Note 2: The conditional statements at the end are simply to prevent empty date fields from being stored in the SQL DB as "1/1/1900", but rather as an actual SQL NULL value. From debugging though, it seems that this is not the issue - it is when there is an actual value that the error is fired.
Is there a way to do so? Say sometimes I see March 2nd, 1921
Latter I see 2 March 2010.Is there a function GetDate(SomeString as string) as Date?That will sort of recoqnize all those different format and "try" parsing.
I've been running into some errors with converting strings to dates in the following code. I have recently added the intcall.Value = DateTime.Parse(txtIntCallDate.Text) function which had gotten rid of the error message, however the records are not being updated, any of them on the form. Prior to this the strings were being updated just fine. As long as there is a date entered on the form there is no error, if it's left blank i get the "Problem converting string to datetime"
I am trying to build a date calculator utility (DateCalc). It returns the number of days,weeks, months etc between two dates.I worked hard and long trying to find out how to convert a date into a format on which you can perform math operations (for the "what's the date in 'n' days time" part) and it works! I can also use the minus operator to find out previous dates, from say 10000 days ago... BUT...I want to develop it further, and this is where I need help (i am still very newbie remember)Can you help me to find a way to code this bit to ignore weekends and saturdays or sundays individually, and a range of dates in its calculation? I have two datetime pickers and a some checkboxes.DTPickFromDTPickToChkBoxExWeekendChkBoxEXSaturdaysChkBoxExSundays An image of my form and it's components is here :--> [URL] Also, as part of my 'Datecalc', I'd like to find the dates of every other saturday and sunday in the future.
I would like to calculate a new date simply by using the build-in dateadd function, but take into account that only weekdays should be counted (or 'business days' so to speak).I have come up with this simple algorithm, which does not bother about holidays and such. I have tested this with some simple dates, but would like some input if this can be done in better ways.This sample assumes a week with 5 business days, monday-friday, where first day of the week is monday. Dateformatting used here is d-m-yyyy, the sample calculates with a startdate of october 1, 2009.
Here is the simple form:
Dim d_StartDate As DateTime = "1-10-2009" Dim i_NumberOfDays As Integer = 12 Dim i_CalculateNumberOfDays As Integer
I would like to display the Visual Studio 2010 build date and time on the 'About' box/pop, changing the following from current date time to only the build time. frmAbout.Label_CurrentDayAndTime.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString()
I am creating a splash screen for my vb.net 2005 app (.net 2.0 framework). I would like to include the build date and time on the screen without having to manually enter it myself everytime I do a release.
I have a "ClickOnce" application and on the Splash screen I display the Version. I am also displaying the "CreationTime" (see below) that I thought was when the Build or Publish was done. Today I realized it is displaying the date/time when the application is actually installed on the PC. How do I pull the date when the this version was compiled, Built, or Published? I really do not care which -I just want a constant date the sticks with that version. I'm using VB 2005.
I would like to be able to parse vb.net code files, so I can examine the collection of Subs, Functions (and their contents, including comments), private variables, etc. I can be open the actual source code files. So for example, if I have:
I'm creating a vb.net winforms application that will take in user given strings, parse them, and print out labels with variable information. The given string will be used in all the labels, but the variable part of the string will change with each label.
My question is: is it better to parse the strings one time, then store those values in arrays, or to parse the string each time a label is printed? Which will perform better? Which is better practice? What is the proper way to test something like this?
I have a Form with a Media Player in it. Which plays a Song.
[Code]...
It's playing in the background since the Form is hidden. When I play itin Debug, everything works fine. When I run the app outside Debug, I get this error: [URL] The Music File is there, but strangely, there comes this weird error.
A particular VB.NET project is actually throwing 'Build Failed' But when I try rebuilding again it says 'Rebuild Succeeded'. It keeps alternating this behavior. Kind of random. Any vbc.exe issue of long locking the PDB or xml files?
I have a vb.net 2008 windows form application that I was just assigned to work on. how to maintain and test changes to both the pre build and the post build events? Can you tell me how to test these events? My postbuild event, I believe calls a project file in the solution file that wraps files together in a bundle in debug mode. Can you tell me how the posbuild event works and when it is called?
I am using 2008 Express Edition. I am trying to make a Release build instead of a Debug build.Under Tools->Options, Projects and Solutions->General - I checked Show advanced build configurations. The option to switch configurations does not show up in the IDE.
After this, I went to the Project Properties->Compile and switched the Configuration from Active(Debug) to Release.After building, I looked in my project directory, however only in the Debug sub-directory was the .exe and nothing in the Release sub-directory.I have used Visual C++ Express Edition, where I noticed that if you do not change to Release in the IDE than after changing to Release in properties, resets the project to the last configuration setting which is usually Debug.how to make the Debug/Release box available in the IDE, since Tools/Options does not make it show up?
I just created a simple application. I Builded that using build->build myapp. I got .exe of that application. i runned. all went fine. but when i closed that app, even after closing it is in memory. it is still running. how to deploy it properly?
I have some very simple questions about making a release build exe in vb.net using MS VB 2010 Express.
I realize that my project's executable is built in the bin/debug folder. However, when I copy this to any other location on my computer or someone else's, this executable does not function. I have read that I need to create a release build but in MS VB 2010 Express, when I use the Project-Properties menu and change the Compile tab configuration to Release and the path to binRelease, I still get the exe in the binDebug folder and not the binRelease folder.
1) Is it normal that exe's from the debug folder do not function outside of the debug folder?
2) Most importantly, if the release build produces a faster exe, could someone please explain step by step how to do this with MS VB 2010 Express ? I do not see any button on the compile tab in the project properties that actually builds the release.
I was able to build both debug and release versions of my VB code before now I no longer have the option to build a release version. How do I turn it back on
So when i build or click debug on my program. No errors come up and its smooth. So i decide to publish my programme. However. I come up with a bunch of errors during the publishing.
Here they are:Error 1 Cannot publish because a project failed to build. 1 1 Simple CALC
Error 2 Unable to copy file "binReleaseSimple CALC.exe.manifest" to "binReleaseapp.publishApplication FilesSimple CALC_1_0_0_0Simple CALC.exe.manifest". The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.
i have 2 datetimepicker which are startdatedatetimepicker and enddatedatetimepicker.. the start date should not be more than end date..thus i need to check these two date.. here is my code...
I have a date time as a string, eg. "2010-08-02", I'm trying to convert it to UTC with the following code snippet..DateTime.ParseExact("2010-08-02Z", "yyyy-MM-ddZ", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)When I print to the console, I get the following: 8/1/2010 5:00:00 PM.Is there a reason why the date shows up as the date before the date I'm trying to parse? I could just add a day to this to advance to the original day.
I'm fairly new to ASP.NET & VB.I've been asked to take an existing textbox that is automatically filled with the current date and allow the user to either add a "+" or "-" and a number or a spcific number and convert that into a date.I underdstand the basic concept on how to do this, but I'm running into some problems using the proper commands in order for this to work.The Textbox is called txtDate.What I've tried to do is this:
If txtDate = '+' Or '-' Then DateAdd("d", txtDate, today) End If
Here is what the whole thing looks like:
Protected Sub DateEnter_Click(ByVal sender As[code].....
I have an access form that shows a data table. when the form is opened, I want to filter the data in the date column to show only the records that don't have a date entered into the field.
I need a function that would return true if the date provided was a payday or date of next few weeks paydays.Paydays are every 14 days on a Friday (not twice a month).I tried several attempts, but don't have a clue where to start, except that the function needs a reference date to calculate from.
