View 4 RepliesI'm trying to write code in .NET 2.0 to change the time zone - long story short its toautomate server deployment. I'm having a problem adding the SE_TIME_ZONE_NAME privilege I found code online to add the SE_SHUTDOWN_NAME privilege which I adapted into the following code:
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Module ChangeTokenPrivs

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?
So I currently have the following:
2 timers
2 labels
1st label is "Clock" this pulls the time from the users current time zone/local time
2nd label is "UTCClock" Which would be UTC time
Now I have this for the first label: clock.Text = Format(TimeOfDay, "hh:mm:ss tt")
Which would give the users current time zone/local time. As for the UTC.. how would I add in for the UTC time from where the user is located at? I did some searches.. but couldnt find what I was looking for.. IM pretty sure its not as easy as getting the users current time zone/local time.. So im assuming that Theres a "bit more" code into getting UTC time..
I used .NET Framework 1.1 in C/S project before. Now I have updated the project to use .NET Framework 3.5 without modifying source code, but I have found that : the Remoted DateTime values can not be converted to the equivalent local time of a remote computer that is in a different time zone. In .NET Framework 1.1, the DateTime values can be converted automatically.

Basically I am looking for a means within a asp.net 2.0 (or higher) application, to identify a time zone and UTC offset for a specific location and date. I want to be able to look up the time zone rules using either city & state, Zip, or LAT & LON I have an event database that tracks location, date and time for the events. Times are recorder relative to the event and the records do not currenlty indicate the timezone for the event or whether or not DST is in effect. Recently, I have encountered a situation where I need to link several events across different time zones. What I am looking to do is:
first, record a master event, say for August 13 2012 at 8:PM in New York, NY 10021
Second I need to record a related event in Houston TX.
When I record the related event I want it to automatically populate the date and time relative to its local time time zone rules. To do this it needs to be able to identify the effective timezone and UTC offset for the master event as well as the linked event so that I can calculate the correct date and time to display on the satelite program. As a future update I would probably capture the time zone /utc offsets with each program so that I don't have to recalculate the master record each time I want to add a related event.
So far I have not seen a way from system.timezone or timezoneinfo to be able to look up a timezone and the effective UTC offset of a given date and location.
i am using Visual Studio 2008, .net 3.5sp1 When i do the following oracle query on Oracle9i database
a)select NEW_TIME( sysdate, 'EDT','EST') as NT from dual;it works ok on Sql Developer and from vb.net
b) select NEW_TIME( sysdate, EXTRACT(TIMEZONE_ABBR FROM CURRENT_TIMESTAMP),'EST') as NT from dual;
c) select NEW_TIME( sysdate, to_char(EXTRACT(TIMEZONE_ABBR FROM CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)),'EST') as NT from dual;
Both b) and c) work okay on Oracle Sql Developer but fail when run via vb.net with error: ORA-01857: not a valid time zone
I want either b) or c) to be run successfully from .net I also tried replacing 'sysdate' with 'current_timestamp' and the results are similar.
used the WMI ChangeZoneType DNS command in C#VB.net before. I get an incorrect parameter exception when i try and invoke the changezonetype command. I get the dns zone that i want to change from the dns server (via query), set the zonetype to the appropriate uint value but am then getting the exception. I am trying to change the zone from secondary to primary and according to MSDN all the other values are optional (and as far as i am aware are needed when you want to change from primary to secondary) so i have not included them.
Below is the code that i am using....
For Each DNSZone As ManagementObject In mgrZones
mngrZones = DNSZone.GetMethodParameters("ChangeZoneType")
mngrZones("ZoneType") = System.Convert.ToUInt32(zoneType)

In my last "Question" today Re-ComboBox", I was told that I can add the actual TimeZones into the ComboBox using the following; ComboBox1.Items.AddRange(TimeZoneInfo.GetSystemTimeZones. ToArray) I was able to get the ComboBox filled with those information. However, I'm facing a problem in using those information for my "Sunrise Tme" program.
My problem is : I need to add the "Time Zone" (is declared as Double) - which I select in the ComboBox - to the Calculated Time (in GMT). I am unable to get the Value added to the GMT, ie the Value such as 2.5 or 5.5 or 6.0, because the information in the ComboBox is of several Data-type. Keyword such as "CDbl" didn't work. What mistake am I making?

I am using this line of code on form load event it is working very fine but i have to problems
1. It replaces the form name and display the date and time but i want to keep both date and time and forms caption separated by some space.
2. When form loads it load the current date and time but the time does not change it should run.
What should i do please please help me code is as follows
Me.Text = Date.Now.ToLongDateString & " - " & TimeOfDay
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.
recommend a zone ocr sdk package. What i would like to accomplish is to automatically import a set of images, pdf or jpg, and then apply zone ocr to each image to extract data into a database. I have already looked at and spoken to Lead Tools and it does seem like they have everything that i would need but by the time you add up all the modules / addons needed, the cost is just too high for our small shop.

Using any version of .NET how do you find out which zone a particular share is classified under. I am having a problem identifying if a share where my referenced dlls reside is in the "intranet zone" or "internet" zone relative to some user machine that is running my .NET application. I suspect this is a problem because I am having a problem accessing referenced dlls from a share on some machines but not others. How can I tell which zone .NET is classifying that share in so I can adjust permissions accordingly?
View 1 RepliesI am developing an application for an emergency services organisation using VB 2008 that will enable users to select a map zone of a city centre and plot icons onto it, then save/export the layered map with icons as an image.My problem at the moment is that I am struggling developing the point where the user imports in the icon (for example, a flame icon where a fire started) and drags it around the map within the picture box to the required area.I want them to be able to select their desired icon from a series of commandbuttons and for the icon to 'appear' on the picturebox and be enabled to be dragged around and dropped as required. The organisation already has such a thing working in Microsoft Word (!) and that uses the ActiveDocument.Shape.LoadImage function on a pushbutton to import the icon and then it is placed on the map as required, but this is really unreliable for them.I dont even know if you can layer images onto an existin picturebox within an application in this way and then export as a flat image.
