Adding Time To Date Then Adding Another Time

I have an SQL Server database with a table in it that has a column labeled DATE (datatype =date).The table also has a column labeled TIME (datatype Integer) that contains hours and minutes.I would like to be able to display the time in a datetimepicker also.
Would it make sense (remember I�m new to VB) to have the time as part of the date column?Doesn�t the date/datetime data type include time(7/24/1996 12:00:00 AM)?If so what is the best way to add the TIME column to the DATE column.I know I can go back to our other system (IBM iSeries) and combined the columns and transfer the data over again but that is chore (the transferring) and I want to learn how to do these kind of things without falling back on my IBM skills.It seems I should be able to add time to the DATE column of the table. None of the DATE data transferred over to this table had time with it.
Debug.WriteLine(Me.ServiceRecord.Field(Of Date)("served_date"))
why did they make this so hard to do. Does anyone have any clear cut, basic 3-4 lines of code that can tell me how to add 2 time variables together to create a 3rd variable? I tried this but on Time2 I get Value of type 'Date' cannot be converted to 'System.TimeSpan'.

I am trying to create what I am sure is a simple program to add hours to convert UTC time. I want to type in a UTC time and have it convert for every state in Australia. [Code] Now that works fine however when the conversion goes past "midnight" it then shows the date and time. I have tried about 50 different things but cannot get it to remove the date when the converted time passes midnight. [Code] The string was not recognized as a valid DateTime. There is an unknown word starting at index 18.

I have an ASP.NET application with a SQL Server back end. I am storing all my dates in UTC format and doing the appropriate conversions to the local time zone of the browser viewing it. One of the pages asks for a start date and end date (no times).
I am taking the start date and setting the time to 00:00:00 hours (midnight) and I'm taking the End time and adding a time of 23:59:59, so that the date range covers the whole day. Now what I'm trying to do is do a SQL query to do a search for records in this date range. The problem is, the data in SQL is in UTC time and the user is typing their dates and times in their local date and times. My quickest solution was to convert the date and time to UTC, then search the records. However, by doing this, I am to believe ASP.NET converts the given time and date to UTC based on the server time zone. How can I convert a date and time to UTC time based on the time zone of the user?
would i do something like "dim txt_whatever as new textbox" or would i do something else?

Thought I'd see if Stack overflow is quicker than me testing something while I get a thousand interruptions from other work :)
I'm updating an old VB net application and trying to refactor some of the logic as I go. The app looks for data from a single date across a few tables and writes that view to a file.
Writing the query in SQL I'd get the equivalent of
SELECT * FROM table
WHERE CAST(FLOOR(CAST(table.date AS float))AS datetime) = '15-Jul-2010'
Ideally I'd use
SELECT * FROM table WHERE date=@input
and add a date object as a parameter to a System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand instance
Are those two comparable? Will I get the results I expect?
I am using VB 2008 and want to record a start date and time and then the stop date and time in a rich text box, i can get the start time into the box but so far can only stop the time instead of 2 seperate times, what i have is a drop down box with a list of computers 1-10 i was trying to get it so you picked a certain computer and that went into the text box then you started the timer and that was recorded, finally you stopped the timer and that was recorded but as i am a total newbie it does not work
Here is the code i have.

I have an app that I have made. The application generates 14million combinations of numbers and inserts them into an Access Database. As you can imagine, this takes AGES (whole night) to compute. Is it possible to make the same method call twice so instead of one combination being generated and inserted, two or more are?

dim pvalue as datetime pvalue = (Date.Now.AddHours(3), Date.Now.AddMinutes(2))
above code getting error of ')' expected
No Error MessageBox.show(Date.Now.AddHours(3), Date.Now.AddMinutes(2))
In Microsoft Access I use: Hours(time) minute(time) function to get current time hour and minute. I then use loop to add to the minutes until it ends in a 5 or 0 to round it up to the next 5 minutes. e.g. 13:43 rounded up to 13:45 I use IF statement to make sure the minute does not exceed 60 to start the hour. I want to use that time to add hours or minutes to easier e.g. add 15minutes, add 1 hour ect.

View 16 Repliesi have a timer that counts down from 2 hours, its part of a 2 hour time limit for a computer. but if the application was to fail it would restart from 2 hours again. which isnt good, so it needs to restart where it left of. so far i have got it to save the current time on the countdown timer to a reg key. but i need to put that time back hope that made sense. here is the part of my code

I'm trying to make a collection class for buttons to address them as a whole, only I want to design the buttons at design time, and not add/set their properties programatically at runtime. Each button has its own image, so it doesn't seem right to add a bunch of lines of code which assign the properties when they're always going to be the same thing.Is it possible to create the controls at design time and then add them to an array at runtime? I did this, iterating through the buttons on the form and adding each of them to the class below.The problem is that once they're added they seem to be a different instance because changing their positions has no effect on the design-buttons on the form. Essentially i wanted the collection to be a reference to the items belonging to the form.Is that possible or should I be doing this a different way?[code]

I doing something really simple on vb studio 2008 express, i added a table from a datasource directly to the windows form and created a datagridview the table has no data yet, it has a primary key id int, and some columns some of then allow nulls, i added the entire table with the common steps and when clicking in the add button of the bindingnavigator twice i get the not nullable column is allowed exception but i dont know where does this exception ocurrs beacuse it breaks with no code line another thing is that i clic on the delete button when theres no data and i get an invalid operation exception again with no code line break why is this configured that way? am i missing any step in order to avoid this exceptions?, i tried to handle the dataerror event of the datagrid and set throwexception to false but some errors are not trapped like the ones at the top of this?
View 2 RepliesI have a TabControl on a UserControl. I want the UserControl to behave like a TabControl as usual (it contains only the TabControl and a Contextmenu), including Design-time behavior.I have spent the last two weeks finding out how to add the Design-time behavior and I think I have come a far way.The problem is with adding TabPages during Design-time (while the UserControl is a custom tabcontrol, it is using regular windows forms TabPages).In the Designer class, I have the following code to add a TabPage:
vb.net
Dim dh As IDesignerHost = DirectCast(GetService(GetType(IDesignerHost)), IDesignerHost) If dh IsNot Nothing Then Dim i As Integer = tc.SelectedIndex Dim name As String = GetNewTabName() Dim tab As TabPage = TryCast(dh.CreateComponent(GetType(TabPage), name), TabPage) tab.Text = name tc.Controls.Add(tab)
[code]....
So it would add the control to the TabPages collection if it was a TabPage, and use the regular routine otherwise.
(I'm now using 'tc.Controls.Add(tab)' again instead of 'tc.tabCtrl.TabPages.Add')
But, I don't think the designer even gets that far because it is telling me I cannot add TabPages to my usercontrol, because only TabControls can accept TabPages... How can I make my usercontrol understand that it is a TabControl (without Inheriting from a TabControl?)
