We have different system date needs on different computers.
An application is using the following to get the current date[code]...
Unfortunately, it is NOT an option of changing the date format on the PC permanently. Is there a way to force the currDate to be retrieved in YYYY-MM-DD "date" format?
I would like to change the system date by using a VB.NET app. I specifically don't need the format to read a system date.
View 1 RepliesI am writing an application on Windows-7 using Visual Basics 2010. I am accessing System Date with
Dim today As Integer
today = Format(Now, "dd")
Well, that works fine. But I need some indication/notification when system date changes, so that I can retrieve the new date.
I need to find the system date change made by the user, i can find out this by checking the event log, and the event log can be deleted so it is not good idea.Can anyone suggest a method to find out the system date change in windows?

I'm trying to write a program which compares the difference between any date in the past and the system date, showing how many days have elapsed since that date.This is what I've got so far:
Code:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub TextBox2_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
End Sub
[code]....
That's what it looks like so far. I was wondering how you can automate the top label so it automatically comes up with the date when the program is run.Plus, I need to know how to display the dates difference (how many days have elapsed between the system date and the user's chosen date) in the bottom label.
I'm trying to compare the modify date of a file vs the current system date. I've found an MSDN article describing how to get the modify time of a file:
Dim infoReader As System.IO.FileInfo
infoReader = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFileInfo("C: estfile.txt")
MsgBox("File was last modified on " & infoReader.LastWriteTime)
This gest the Date and Time, but I want just the Date not the time.

I have a calendar column which is generated on from load. Its value is assigned to todays date - for instance 04/04/2012
I also have a comboBox with a list of months.
Is there a way I can change the value of my calendar column to reflect the chosen month?
For example, if I select January from my comboBox then have the date as 01/01/2012.[code]...
It is supposed to change the forecolor if the listview date in the first column is less than label 3's date.
For ii = 0 To Me.ListView1.Items.Count - 1
Dim iInvoiceDate As ListViewItem = Me.ListView1.Items(ii)
If iInvoiceDate.ToString < Me.Label3.Text Then
[Code]....
No errors and all the variables are returning what i am expecting but it doesn't change the forecolor.
i have date fields i want to validate if the date is greater than system date it should prompt user and force user to enter a correct date. but when the user wants to cancel or close that particular form without correcting the date he should be able to cancel the form. in my case it does not happen you will have enter the correct date before you can even cancel when i use Lostfocu,Leave,Changevalue
what can i do sample code below
Private Sub dtMarried_LostFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles dtMarried.LostFocus
If fn_checkdate(Me.dtMarried.Value) = True Then

I am throwing some data out into Excel and am having some formatting troubles. I have 5 columns (date, time, a long number I don't want displayed in scientific notation - text is fine, text, text). I can get it all working with numberformat, however I have to do them different ways.
Date works this way cell.numberformat = "m/d/yy" and it formats it to say 3/1/11
Time works this way cell.numberformat = "h:mm AM/PM" and it formats it to say 8:07 AM
For the long number cell.numberformat = "@" and it doesn't change the format and it gets displayed in scientific notation
BUT if I use cell.style.numberformat = "@" it works as it should, but it messes up all of the date and time cells. Apparently when you use style.numberformat, it doesn't just apply to the cell you're working with. If I try using style.numberformat with the date and time formats, they don't change and are entered as if I didn't change the format at all.

How to change a particulr value of one text box control of one particular form from another form?

View 2 RepliesHow can I force IE to accept third party cookies using an App I can just have my field techs run on their laptops?[url]...
View 1 RepliesI wrote a small app we use on our computer to keep them running optimally and do some utility things (delete temp files, defrag drives, clean registry, backup my docs to the server, etc). One of the options I ahve in there is "Reset Windows to Defaults" and the objective was to setup windows how we normally would set them up before we give them to our users. So if a user messes with all his/her settings we can click this button and reset it all back. So far it resets IE settings, changes Window Explorer views, puts all the default icons on the desktop and turns off desktop cleanup, etc. Well one of the last things I want to do is change to the default Windows XP theme and apply it. After a lot of searching the internet I found this:
[Code]...
It does reset colors and stuff back to the theme. The problem is if a user has "Windows Classic" set and this is run it does apply the theme.....mostly. Things like dialog boxes stay in classic while the menu structure and desktop go the XP style. If you go into display properties it still shows "Windows Classic" but under Appearance it shows "Windows XP" which leads me to believe even though this function is for themes its actually just applying the appearance and not actually setting the theme.
I have a small VB .Net application that, among other things, attempts to substitute system wide typed text by the user(hotstrings concept). To achieve that, I have deployed 'ahk2exe' and 'AutoHotkeySC.bin' with my application and did the following:When a user assignes a new 'hotstring':
Kill 'hotstring' exe script file if running Append new hotstring to the script file (if non exist then create a new one)Convert edited/new script file to exe (using ahk2exe)Run the newly converted script exe(somewhere there I also check if the hotstring has been already assigned)However, I am not totally satisfied with this method for the following two main reasons:
The extra resources deployed with the application. Lag: The time it takes for the system to kill the process and then restart it takes a minimum of 5 seconds on my fast computer and more on other computers. That amount of time is much more than the time it takes the user to assign the hotstring, minimize/close the window and then test his/her new hotstring. When the user does so initially with no success they will think the process failed. So this method is not very good for user experience.I am looking for a different method or implementation. May be using keyboard hooks? Or maybe adding a .dll library that achieves the same. Are there any resources you know about that might help (free or commercial)? What is the best way to achieve my desired goal?
