Im adding a feature to a program of mine. I have names in a database and it sends an email at certain times through out the day. How ever Im wanting to where I can add the days they are off like Saturday and Sunday. If the programs runs and its Monday-Friday the program functions and sends an email at the right time to that name.But if its Saturday or Sunday it bypasses the name and sends no email.Any ideas on how Icould go about this? I have the email featurelooking at a DB and sending tht way. I want to still look at the DB but bypass the records is DaysOff are the tcurrent day.
I need to loop through each day of the week (monday tues...) and compare the day to a string.I know I can manually add each day of week to a string array, but that's not what prefer.[code]
I need want to create a array for the days of the week.
Dim DayOfWeek As Integer = Date.Today.DayOfWeek might give me 1 meaning monday, and i want it to looking in the array for the value 1 and find the one that matches.
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

I have this requirement in my app. I need to define a week, so for example, I have a GameWeek table. it has weekid(PK),description column. Then I have a GameWeekDay table which has an ID,WeekID (fk to above table), GameDate, isValid (bit field). So once I create a week, I need to select valid days for that week. so I will have a checkbox column for a user to click a day. and on saving, I will save the Date and the checkbox value to my GameWeekDay table. What I need is a clever UI design.
This program is about converting hours to weeks, days, etc. It doesn't do what it's supposed to do. instead of displaying 0 week, 0 day, and 23 hours it displays 0 week, 1 day and -1 hour.
My day job is a firefighter and we work shifts. I'm trying to figure out the best approach to highlight days of the week in accordance to the shift schedule.
Where can I find a complete reference to the Monthly Calendar form?
I figure that is the best place place to start... unless you have another idea...
automatic scheduler apart from creating windows service in .net or OS batch scheduler?I 'm aware of this two, Is there a 3rd way to create automated process in .net.I having facing limitations in creating windows service like I have semi admin rights so it doesn't allow me to install windows service also I can't view the windows service.
I need to generate a report that shows the 52 weeks of a year (or 53 weeks as some years have) and their start and end dates. There is an ISO spec to do this but seems awfully complicated! Im hoping someone knows of a way to do it in C# or Visual Basic (its actually for Visual Basic 6 but I will try port it across)
I need this for 2 different changes.ON one form i got a week calendar, the other a month calendar.Was hoping to add 2 buttons previous & next.To scroll back in time x days, or x days forward.And similar for the months, but instead of days months.Can anybody give me a exaple or a method how to get this to work?Figured it could be done with a loop, but not sure anymore.
The function for getting the difference in days between two days is giving me a wrong answer here.What could i be doing wrong??? DateDiff(DateInterval.Day, CDate("28/1/2011"), CDate("31/1/2011"))
I have a date in the future e.g. 13/10/2008 I need to subtract the current date (today is the 28/09/2010) minus 7 days, so thats 21/09/2010 minus 13/10/2008, which would equal erm, 720 something ? But the current date won't always be 28/09/2010, obviously. I need the code for this. EDIT: When i said future I mean past :)
I wish to develop an application in VB.NET to provide to following functionality and hope you can give me some pointers on which direction to take.I need some kind of "server" type component which sits in the background monitoring request from users and performing various task. (this component can be install locally or centrally) The users submit an instruction to the "server" to perform a certain task at a designated date and time. (or perform the task straight away)
The "server" would perform the task at the desired date and time and inform the user the result of the task.I have thought of using a central database to which the user writes the instructions. The "server" could read from the database to obtain the instructions, and write the result back to the database.
I want a fast reaction to the instructions, so the "server" must poll the database every few seconds; I fear this may be detrimental to performance. Also how do I get the server to perform the task at the desired time? Again checking all outstanding tasks against the current time is not very efficient, so I thought about utilising the Windows Scheduler, but I am not sure of the best way of integrating this functionality.
i build a website in vb.net ... i have a table process that have a begin date and end date... in the date that appropriate i want the system automatically update the data in database...
Example :
Tabel process ProcessName || begin || End process A || 02/02/2012 || 04/04/2012
When the current date 02/02/2012 then update table master that processName is "process A" into active and when the current date 04/04/2012 then update table master that processName is "process A" into expired.I don't know how to create it? is anyone know about making like that?
1) to create endless loop that keep checking for time of day, so if i have an event (stored in my DB) that should be execute @ 14:30 the loop will compare in every loop the current time against the DB time so when the current time will be 14:30 the event will be executed
2) the same as above just using Timer instead of endless loop.
the problem is that both methods seems to be inefficient because at least 95% of the checks will be for no use.
so is there any methods or some way in VB.NET to raise an event in a specific hour without keep checking the current hour every second ?
I would like to know if its possible to check on the result 0x0 if scheduler run ok or 0x1 if it did not, but within .net, I found a post here but no resolutions so I am asking again just in case I get lucky.
If i set run ProgramA to run once a month...And I want ProgramA to also run every wednesday...What if these 2 tasks coincide?is there a way to programmatically say...If the monthly run of ProgramA happens to fall on a wednesday...wait until the weekly run of the same program is finished THEN execute the monthly run of the same program..I am trying to avoid collision of running the same program on different schedules.
I am trying to write a small program to plan appointments.And have a overview of them in some sort of calendar(not the mini calendar which you can get from the VB control).Found some website who offer such controls, but honestly $1k for the license is a bit to much for something which i am not gonna use that often.So i was wondering if there are any codes available or projects which do something similar.Or any other solution which could work for this.Want to save the data in a SQL database.
I want to create a task scheduler in vb.net and I want to use the windows schedule wizard to schedule the tasks. So, how to link or call the windows schedule wizard in vb.net?
I have been working for some time on a service that will act as a task scheduler and perform a shutdown action at one of 3 given shutdown times. Before you cringe and ask why not use the task scheduler, I should explain that permissions do not allow users to "create" scheduled tasks and therefore a creative work-around is required. In any case, I am still new to VB, but am including my code below. I want the service to check an alarm time every minute and launch a shutdown application (in the user's context - if logged in) if that time is NOW.
I am running a vb.net win application from windows task scheduler. I would like to show a messagebox from my application in one scenario. How can I accomplish this. Code is getting executed, but messagebox is not getting displayed in my screen.
I have a VB program that is executed each morning at 4 AM by Task Scheduler. If the program returns anything other than a zero result, I would like Task Scheduler to run it again. The Task Scheduler sees my return code in the "Last Run Result" field, but does not invoke the "If task fails, restart every:" action.
creating small task scheduler in vb.net using in built library of vb.net . " I checked out Codeproject's ScheduleTask.dll solution (vb)"But problem is i want to create using inbuilt library of vb.net not using solution in vb.
