I am trying to calculate a total cost from an elapsed time. Dependant on how long the time is, this will calculate the total cost. It has to be 3 to every hour. The elapsed time is displayed in label6 in "hh:MM:ss" format and the total cost needs to be displayed in label8.

Im using the express edition of VB.Net to do my project. I have several threads in my program which run fine. However, im stuck at this problem. I have a button in my form, which if I click I will call ThreadA (works fine), If i keep it pressed for more than 2 sec i need to call ThreadB (doesnt work), and if the time is more than 2 min, i need to stop and send a msg to the user. I have tried the timer to calculate the elapsed time, so the tick function would call the thread. BUT this doesnt work... Im not sure what do to.
View 2 RepliesI have a class assignment where i have to calculate the total cost of a parking garage from hours but i have to do it with a method function. So this might be a stupid question but can you read the user input values from a textbox in the function itself or do they have to be read in and recalled from the Private Sub Button1_Click section?
View 8 RepliesI certainly hope I don't aggravate you with what is certainly a very simple code problem. I have never programmed before, but I do have a background in tech support, etc. I have an assignment to do and it's frustrating to wade through the information out there to find exactly what I need and nothing more.The assignment has 3 parts, one of which i've done. We are to do the same function in both javascript and VB. I was able to take a sample we did in class that caluclates a 10% discount and modify it so it calculates the total. Now, I have to modify that into a VB sln file. then write about the differences but that part will be cake.
I am working in Visual Studio 2008 - that program is new to me as well. When I created my login and it asked what VB I'm using, I did not know but under theu of VS, it says VB 2008.hat I attempted to do was to take the instructor's sample discount code and modify it for the new purpose, but an error was generated. This is the sample code I started with:

I'm trying to calculate the total cost for gas for a Chevy and a Buick on a form. The total miles is 21 for city and 33 for freeway. I'm also putting in the mpg for each, for city and freeway. How would I set up the labels to display the right amount? Do I use If Then statements?

A fast-food vendor sells pizza slices at $1.25 each, fries at $1.00, and soft drinks at $0.75. Write a program to computer a customers bill. The program should use 4 subprocedures that do the following:
1. read in the amount of each item ordered
2. calculate the total cost
3. display an itemized bill
4. read in the users full name from a textbox, and display a sentence, addressing the user by first name only and in upper case characters, informing the user of their bill
Here is an example itemized bill:
Item Quantity Price
Pizza slices 3 $1.25
Fries 4 $1
Soft drinks 5 $0.75
Total $11.50
Example sentence for point 4: if the user name was entered as John Smith, you would display the sentence JOHN, your bill is $11.50.

When I click a start button I want to start and display the time elapsed if HH:mm:ss. Best way to tackle this?
View 1 RepliesI have one text box that contains a value for the "Start Time" and another text box that contains a value for the "End Time."Both of the values are expressed in a format for military time (i.e. 1200, 1300, 1430, etc.).When the "End Time" text box loses focus, I would like the "Elasped Time" (expressed in minutes) to appear in a third text box.Seems easy enough...right?Well the problem I'm having is since the first two numbers in military time are base 24 and the last two numbers are base 60, a standard calculation subtracting the "End Time" from the "Start Time" does not yield an accurate result.
View 3 Repliesdisplay a Decimal (or double) to elapsed time [h]:mm:ss (hours:minutes:seconds)using vb.net?
example:
if you were to type "1.34666666666667" into a cell in Excel then choose Custom Format [h]:mm:ss The result is an elapsed time of "32:19:12". Using the OADate function only runs on a 24 hour clock so this does not work for longer durations unfortunately...
Bit stuck on this one, have seen alot about how to do it just cant seem to get it right. I want to have 2 text boxes with times in them.. at the moment i have them on click events then it just runs a Now for the time and fills the boxes from the system time. But then i want the 3rd box to find the elapsed time from the 2 times in the previous boxes but i just cant seem to figure it out

I have a very simple StopWatch application in Silverlight. I have the following private properties in my MainPage class: _StopPressed (bool), _TimeStart, _Elapsed (string). I also have a "Start" and "Stop" button. The "Start" button calls a method called UpdateTime that constantly updates _ElapsedTime until _StopPressed is true. When I originally wrote it, UpdateTime would block the UI so I couldn't press the Stop button, so I updated my code to use System.Threading.ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem with my UpdateTime method so that it updates _Elapsed on a background thread. That works great at updating the value.However, if I try to set the .Text value of my TextBlock from within UpdateTime(), I get an UnauthorizedAccessException that has to do with one thread accessing the data in another thread.What do I need to do to avoid getting this exception and appropriately update the UI without blocking it?

Looking at the timeoutOccured() sub, you can see I'm unsure of how to specify which index to set. Efficiency is important since this will be housing a lot of connections at once. Something else that just came to mind, would .theTimer.Stop reset the tick value on the timer?
I have a program where I have to calculate straight-line depreciation (cost * 1/n) n being the number of years to depreciate, and Double-Declining depreciation (cost * 2/n) using user input for year of purchase, cost, and years of depreciation. The output needs to be put into 4 columns in a list box. Year, Value at beginning of year, Amount of depreciation during the year and Total depreciation to the end of the year.
The problem I am having is with my loop. It is not properly calculating. I'm sure I am doing something wrong that is simple, but I can't see it.
Here is my code; the problem areas are bold:
Public Class frmDepreciation
Dim Cost, Life, Year, Depreciation, BegValue, EndValue, Total, Counter As Double
Dim fmtStr As String = "{0,-10}{1,10}{2,17}{3,5}{4,-15}"

I'm new to VB and I'm so confused when using DateTimePicker. To be more specific, I have 2 inputs and two of them are Booking Start Time (BST) & Booking End Time (BET) (using DateTimePicker and set them as Time ). I should allow users to choose any time (including Minutes and Seconds)for BST (just need before than now) and BET. BET must be greater than BST at least ONE minute, but still also ensure it less than now (else it should appear a message box to tell specific problem). Then,system will calculate how long it is.
