I have a form that has clocks for Hawaii, Pacific, Mountain, Central, Easter, GMT/UT, UK, Germany, Mumbai, Manila and China.I assigned a timer to tick the seconds and wrote the following code for the tick:[code]
View 8 RepliesI have a simple app that just shows the current time for specific locations around the world. I need to have it adjust for daylight savings time. I *THOUGHT* I'd already coded this but....
I thought I would use "Today.IsDaylightSavingTime()" and add 1 hour to the clocks. It isn't working?
If Today.IsDaylightSavingTime() Then
HawaiiOffset = HawaiiOffset + 1
PacificOffset = PacificOffset + 1
[Code]....
Is there a way in VB.Net to determine if the timezone the current system has daylight savings time in effect? Of course I can get the offset from GMT using the "z"/"zz" formatting option, but that doesn't tell me if DST is in effect for the current timezone or if the current timezone is in standard time...or if DST/Standard time aren't even an issue in the timezone for the system.

I have a string "2011-06-30 09:55 EDT" that uses the US daylight savings format. Date.Parse cannot convert this because this is a non-standard format (EDT instead of EST). Is there a way to convert this string using Parse?
View 3 RepliesI am trying to get a program to recognize daylight savings in Sydney NSW Australia, but everything else in the program to stay on my current timezone settings Brisbane Qld Australia. All I ned it to do is to check a box (true or false).I have tried typing in dates and coding but I need it to think for itself, I don't want to have to change it every year.I'm using Visual Basic 2008?
View 10 RepliesI need to write some code to tell the user when daylight savings starts and ends in another timezone, this is what I came up with but it keeps selecting the last Else line. The other lines are working fine, the problem is only with the lines, daylight savings today and not tomorrow. There is probably a much neater way of doing this but I thought this would work.

I have noticed in a windows-based VB application I am working on when the "Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes" is de-selected, the time in the application is off by one hour. Is there anyway to make the application not sensitive to that and just display the date value that is retrieved from the database?

View 1 RepliesI am using sockets to send message between computers. I send the messages alright. What I want is when the message "x0x" comes, the client must be closed within 5 minutes. Teh admin can cancel the request by sending message "-xx" as well. The routine that checks for incoming connections and accepts messages uses WHILE TRUE...END WHILE since it must always listen. Once I get a message, I need to fire a timer control or other that fires within 5 minutes. But the program cant leave the WHILE TRUE at all. If i exit it early, the timer fires and the program does get exit. How do I fire the timer or other routine while still the WHILE TRUE routine checks for incomin connections and messages?
View 5 Repliesis there any way to reference a particular code routine in VB.net external to the current loop/routine?Example:
If Var01 < 5
[Routine A]
Else
[Routine B]
End If
where Routine A and Routine B are code sequences at the end of the entire program -- such as outside of the current sub or class? The idea would be to reference an otherwise repetitive code.
I have a sub routine where I pull in information from a database. I want to use variables from this sub routine in another sub routine. I tried making everything public but it doesn't want to be friendly and share.
Dim strEmail as String
Public Sub readDB()
strEmail = "whatever@doohikcy.com"

The readDB would read the database and set the variables and do whatever it needs to do. Then when they submit the form it would e-mail the form to whatever the email address was.

I'm using VB 2008 express edition.I have to show the growth of savings in a bank account using input from two text boxes that will be deposit amount and interest rate. I have attached a picture of my form.I have declared my variables and now I'm working on my processing.When the compute button is hit, based on the deposit amount and the interest rate, the amount of years it takes to double the money and the amount of years it takes to become a millionaire with that amount will be displayed in the lower text boxes.
Here's some of my math reasoning...
Doubling time formula : 2P = P(1+ i)^n I tried solving for ^n and got: n = logP(1 + i)/log2P
Is this correct? How do I express logarithms in VB?As for the amount of years that it takes to become a millionaire, can I simply take the deposit amount for example $500 dollars and divide 1,000,000 by 500 to get 2000 so it takes 2000 deposits of 500 dollars each to reach 1 million. Is my arithmetic correct?
What would be the best way to add a progress bar to this routine so that it corresponds with the progress bar?[code...]

and the sub Exceptionquery is not working. I can verify this because it is supposed to create a new table called scratchpad3. what I may be missing in that sub routine that isn't allowing it to work?
I was looking for something send keystrokes and I found this helpful routine SendKeys that I can use in a VB Script. I wanted to have "Right Control Key + (Scroll Lock & Scroll Lock)" sent to the machine. Essentially, having the Right Control Key pressed, I need Scroll Lock pressed twice. Here is what I tried:
set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.SendKeys"^({SCROLLLOCK}{SCROLLLOCK})"
I have the following code:
Private Sub Exceptionquery()
Dim connection As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
Dim connectionString As String = "Initial Catalog=mdr;Data Source=xxxxx;uid=xxxxx;password=xxxxx"
[code]....
I get the error Invalid Object name 'Scratchpad3' on this line:
adapter.Fill(ds)
I have tried to debug this and can see that the query is correct, that the values that are being passed to the sql server are correct but it doesnt look like my code is firing off the Exceptionquery Sub. I thought to call a sub all you had to enter was the name of the sub such as this line:
Exceptionquery()
I have also verified that the mapping of the buttonclick event is mapped correctly. I have other subs that I am calling in almost the same way and those work.
I know there are several libraries of code out there that can parse CSV files according to the standard, but, for various reasons, I need one simple routine (not an entire library) that parses a CSV into a DataTable or array. Does such an animal exist or is it extinct? (Preferably C# but i can translate vb.net too)
