I have a query to retrieve DateDiff in my SQL:
SELECT Convert(char,DATEDIFF(m, Temp.Opening_Date, '2011-05-01')) As MonthDifference From Temp
It was successfully retrieve the data from SQL Server. But when I bind it to my vb.net datatable, the value is null. It's seems like vb.net datatable doesn't support datatype from DateDiff... What can I do?

which could be any day of the week. I've tried all sorts of things to programmatically set "FirstDayOfWeek.x", but it seems as though vb.NET wants it hard coded as FirstDayOfWeek.Monday or. Tuesday etc and you can't pass an integer like 1 or 2 so I could set it on the fly.
I have a window application created in VB.net 2005 and the backend is sql. I make a call to the database and it returns a datatable. When I loop through it, I get a value of -1 for my field "Rush" which is a bit datatype. when I pass the sql into the analyzer, I see the value should be a 1 so not sure why it's giving me a -1. Here's some of the code that's in the page: Dim tblSendEmail As DataTable
tblSendEmail = oService.GetSendEmailInfo 'Goes to a webservice and returns a record set in the datatable
For Each row As DataRow In tblSendEmail.Rows
iRush = row("rush")
next

I have a datatable that I read xml into.
One of the columns is a date, but the dataype of that column is set to string. Is it possible to change that dataype to date?
Since vb doesnt support pointers but c# does. I am using a wrapper dll that requires a pointer to some singles to be passed within the method. I get an error that the method has some parameter types that are not supported. How can i pass a pointer to this method if vb .net doesnt support pointers.

I have a VS2005 utility that I'm working on that has an Access 2003 backend. A couple of days ago, my boss asked that I change one field in two tables from TEXT to MEMO, to allow more information to be put in. In doing some final pre-deployment testing, I find when I hit my button to pull up the list of tickets, I get the error
"System.Data.ConstraintException was unhandled
Message="Failed to enable constraints. One or more rows contain values violating non-null, unique, or foreign-key constraints.""
The datagrid is based on a query I have in the database. The query runs fine, and when I go through the XSD and go into Query Builder, the QB is also returning data. I have made the various changes to the utlity as suggested by Microsoft, but no luck. When I put the two columns back to TEXT, the Grid works fine.
How the heck do I set it up so that the grid will recognise the new data format? The number of characters for the individual columns is set to 37,627 (I believe, it's whatever the default is). I only have 200 characters in my test data. I need to rebuild the whole dataset - this deployment has to be done by the end of the day tomorrow and I have a whole pile of other stuff left to do.
Note: this is not a duplicate of Jeff's question. That question asked "Is an equivalent?" I know there isn't, and I want to know why! The reason I ask is that I've only just become clear on how important it is, and the conclusion seems very strange to me. The Exception Handling block of Microsoft's Enterprise Library advises us to use this pattern:
[Code]...
The policy is defined in an XML file, so that means that if a customer has an issue, we can modify the policy to assist with tracking down (or perhaps papering over) the problem to give them a fast resolution until we deal with it properly - which may involve arguing with 3rd parties, about whose fault it all is. This is basically an acknowledgement of the simple fact that in real applications the number of exception types and their "recoverability" status is practically impossible to manage without a facility like this.
Meanwhile, the CLR team at MS says this is not an option, and it turns out those guys know what they're talking about! The problem is that right before the catch block runs, any finally blocks nested inside the try block will be executed. So those finally blocks may do any of the following: Harmlessly modify the program state (phew, lucky). Trash something important in the customer's data, because the program state is screwed up to an unknown degree. Disguise or destroy important evidence that we need to diagnose an issue - especially if we're talking about calls into native code. Throw another exception, adding to the general confusion and misery.
Note that the using statement and C++/CLI destructors are built on try/finally, so they're affected too. So clearly the catch/throw pattern for filtering exceptions is no good. What is actually needed is a way to filter exceptions, via a policy, without actually catching them and so triggering the execution of finally blocks, unless we find a policy that tells us the exception is safe to recover from. The CLR team blogged about this recently:

I have this code that use to sort a datatable.
Dim sortingIndex As Integer = orderby
Dim DataTableNew As DataTable = New DataTable
DataTableNew = dt.Clone
Dim query = (From c In dt.AsEnumerable Order By c.Field(Of String)(sortingIndex) Ascending)
query.CopyToDataTable(DataTableNew, LoadOption.OverwriteChanges)
My problem is that with this method I always need (Of String) for it to work, so the date columns are also managed as Strings witch is the problem. Is there a way to use the correct type so the sorting is based on the type of the column?
I have been again blessed with legacy code made (presumably) with vs 2008. It's a Visual Basic project with a dependency to SQLite. The actual problem is that it is needed to install and run on Windows 7. Now, I have VB 2008 express in which I opened the project and tried to run it. It threw an exception which was most likely due to the fact that SQLite.dll doesn't support Windows 7 (and/or 64 bit environments). The exception was System. BadImageFormatException. (ddl version was 1.0.65.0)
I read somewhere in the internet that in order to run it in Windows 7 you need to have newer version of it. I downloaded it and managed to change the reference to newer one. Now in the SQLite site it says it requires .net version 3.5 or 4.0. I know that I can change the target framework to 3.5 or even 4.0 but do I need to change some of the old references in the project properties? All the references seem to be to 2.0 libraries. Like System 2.0.0.0 and path to X:windowsMicrosoft. NETFrameworkv2.0.50727System.dll. Does this actually mean that the application is using .net 2.0 although it target framework would be 3.5 or 4.0?
And most importantly do I need to convert my application manually or by using some tool to .net 3.5 or 4.0 in order to get it running with new SQLite dll which requires 3.5 or 4.0?

I have a database in mysql. The column in table is of datatype time(0)
Similarly I have a control datetimepicker in vb.net I have assigned format property as custom to the control and the CustomFormat property as HH:mm:ss tt so that it can just provide the time. I dont want the date to be in it.

I am working on a produce inventory database in my VB Express program.I have a form on the bottom and a spreadsheet at the top. I want to enter all the data in the form and have that data automatically transferred as a group to the spreadshet in the upper part of the page when I press a button.I know that there's an insert function.I set it up correctly.

Me.TableAdapterManager.InventoryTableAdapter.Insert(IDTextBox.Text, fruitName, unitprice, unitsize, unitIn, unitTransit, unitOut)
Evernything is a string cause the data is coming from a textbox, I need to convert it to the datatypes used in the database.Also how do I use the CAST and Convert functions

I'm trying to do a Datediff in VB.Net thats confusing me. Basically I'm trying to do the following. If DateDiff("D", Today(), rsData("Start")) > 0 Then This is working fine when comparing the value from SQL with todays date. I however need to convert this to check the current month and if it matches then return whatever I'm trying to show below.
[Code]...
If DateDiff(DateInterval.Day, moDoBooking.m_CurrentDay, moDoBooking.m_BaseDay) _
> DateDiff(DateInterval.Day, DateAdd(DateInterval.Day, _
Convert.ToDouble(moDoBooking.oBooking.oFacility.ADAYS), moDoBooking.m_BaseDay), _
moDoBooking.m_BaseDay) Then
This condition won't satisfy with these values:
moDobooking.m_CurrentDay = 2/3/2011
moDobooking.m_BaseDay = 22/02/2011
moDoBooking.oBooking.oFacility.ADAYS = 1
