I am developing a billing application to help out the billing lady who has been doing our billing by hand. I am essentially done�. Except for one class of customer I can�t wrap my head around. Nuts and Bolts:
1.Data comes from a table that shows Storage id, customer id, Billing Start date, Billing end date.
2.I am kicking the data back out to a table and I�ll build her a nice little crystal she can run.
Problem:We rent storage space. If multiple customers use the same storage then they will split the cost of the daily fee. If there is 3 customers they each pay a third etc. This seems simple but If Customer 1 starts on 1/1/12 and ends 1/10/12 she pays 10 days. If Customer 2 comes in 1/3/12-1/9/12 they will split 7 days. If Customer 3 comes in only on 1/9/12 then they will all pay a third on that day. Now imagine this across 600+ storage units and 1000+ customers and each customer using multiple storage at any given time.
My biggest issue is I don�t know how to express how we do that calculation by hand programmatically. By hand process and how I figure I am eating the elephant: Find every Customer that has used the Space in the billing period -Determine the unique storage numbers that were used during the billing cycle kick the results to a storage table on an access database. I am using a table because I figured it would be less of burden for the application then a list or array.
Determine where there is overlap - Use �FOR� to cycle through the orginal data table using the unigue. Here is where I am stuck. How do I compare the dates in a way to determine which customer is using it when compared to the others. Obviously i can determine the difference in dates between the start and end. It is getting the applicaiton to recognize the dates are with in the other dates. here is kind of what I was thinking obviosly this doesn't work I am just using the format so don't crush me too bad because I code like a caveman.
Dim CustomerDifference as time span
Dim UniqueStorage as Integer
Dim Customer as string
What I am trying to create is a log in system, and in one of my forms I want to limit the date entered into a form. For example a user cannot enter a date more than seven days from todays date Which is what i achieved but what i am stuck on is preventing a user entering a date in the future
I am writing a personal accountant software using VB2010. What I'm looking for now is to get the week date range of a specific date (Monday to Sunday). For example, if the given date is 16/03/2012, I want to get back:12/03/2012 -> 18/03/2012
I am creating a program that takes into account pay from a job. I will try to describe the problem I am having using some psuedo code - so dont take syntax too seriously.
I created a structure that has some of the following values: Name as String Amount as Double FrequencyType as MyEnumerator
Now my problem is how do I add the date ranges into my structure?If your pay is weekly or twice a week, then I just need a single date because all other paydays should increment in 1 or 2 week blocks. But if the pay is twice a month I need two dates. It seems like there has got to be a better way then just having two dates in my structure and knowing that you just need the 2nd date if the FrequencyType is = 2 (TwiceAMonth).I was thinking that instead of a Structure I should use a class and then I could create a function that returns the date or dates depending on the enumeration type that you pass into it.What would be the "correct" way of doing this? I think I need a type of enumerator that allows for more then just integer type values.
This is my first program and have absolutely no training in programming Visual Basic Studio 2008 so forgive me if I have missed something obvious.Form3 contains a StartDate(Date Time Picker1)and EndDate(Date Time Picker2) with a button1 which launches a Form4 containing a report( Microsoft Report Veiwer)
I have been able to generate a report but it gives me everything in the database instead of date range selected.I have tried generating queries,stored procedures and writing additional code but nothing seems to work.( Though I may of but them in the wrong place)
I need to calculate the location of intersections between multiple date ranges, and the number of overlapping intersections. Then I need to show which date/time ranges overlap each of those intersecting sections. It is slightly more complicated than that so I'll do my best to explain by providing an example. I am working in VB.Net, but C# examples are acceptable as well as I work in both.
We have several high risk tasks that involve the same system. Below I have three example jobs named HR1/2/3/4 with start and end date/times.
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.
how can I create following thing with Visual basic?I would like my excel to check the date value in a cell and compare it to current date and if the value in the cell is older than 2 months compared to current date it would change the cell's colour.
my sql statement is returning null when when I compare date from access database and date entered in textbox in vb. seems to me that the two dates are of different format so null is returned from the select statement but how do I go about this.[code]
i have 2 datetimepicker which are startdatedatetimepicker and enddatedatetimepicker.. the start date should not be more than end date..thus i need to check these two date.. here is my code...
i want to compare two data values in my database.These two dates belong to two different columns.What i want to compare is if the date of one column greater by 6 months from the date of other column then it should give error.I want to pass this query to database and check,and later on depending on the result want to insert my other functionality?
I have 2 Textboxes with Date/Time in them. I want to test if one is less than the other, here is my current code
Dim StartTime1TextBox As TextBox = TryCast(FormView1.FindControl("StartTime1TextBox"), TextBox) Dim EndTime1TextBox As TextBox = TryCast(FormView1.FindControl("EndTime1TextBox"), TextBox) If Not [String].IsNullOrEmpty(StartTime1TextBox.Text) Then
[code]....
However if I enter an Start time of 9:00 AM and an End Time of 5:00 PM this triggers the isvalid=false because 5 is less than 9. Doesn't look like it's comparing the date and time just number.
My collegeue and I have been searching on the net a hell of a lot for a problem he is facing and we so far have been unable to find a resolution.He has an Access Database where one of the columns is of Date format. This date is in UK style (as defined by the Operatins System)
In his application there is a datetime picker which the user picks from he then wants to select * from the access database where the dates match but because the DateTime Picker is giving a US Format date (i.e MM/dd/yyyy) and in the database its UK (i.e: dd/MM/yyyy) its not finding a match and returning no records.
i have a table "Contracts", with fields CompanyNumber, MaturityDate and other fields.i have a form in vb.net, with a textbox that should check if the entered company number exist in my db, if it does it should check whether the maturity date is bigger or less than current date.Any one out there that knows how to go about it? Here is the code am trying with;
Private bindingSource1 As New BindingSource() Private dataAdapter As New OleDbDataAdapter() Dim connectionString As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=mtc.mdb"
be able to check if an application i am writing has been run on a week by week basis. i have created a button that when pressed creates a text file with nothing in it, i can read back the date it was created which also gives me the time which i dont need, i then need to compare the date the file was created to see if it is older than 6 days if so delete the file. how can i check to see if a creation date is older than six days???
i need to get date from database table and compare it either it today or tomoe..after that need to compare time.I got table where the format is 'datetime' contains like = 4/11/2010 12:00:00AM'....so i need to get the date only...how to do that?...when get the date ...ithen i need to compare a time.
Is there a way to compare two dates (which include time) ignoring the time? I have a 1/1/2009 8:00am and 1/1/2009 9:00am and I just want to know if it is the same day, without any care to what time it is. I know I can convert the date and compare the strings, but is there another way?
My application is in VS2008 coded in vb.net.I have a table with three columns FromDate,Todate and Schedule.FromDate and ToDate will have date values whereas Schedule will have a any of these values(weekly,Monthly,Yearly) In my Form i have given some provision to the user to check the records.
My requirement is The currentdate that is Today's date should be compared with the values of Fromdate and ToDate.First it should be check whether Schedule value is Weekly or Monthly or Yearly.If it is weekly than it should check the record in between fromDate to ToDate with a increment of one week.That means it should first check the first value of fromDate than add 7 days to the value and then again check from fromDate and this should continue till it reaches Todate.

Is this the correct way to get a datetime value using a sql datareader: existingETA = existproformaReader.GetDateTime(0) I want to assign the value to a date variable and compare it to another date variable.
I would like to compare the month of a date with datetime.now, when the datetime.now reaches a month beyond the given date to play a sound. I am novice to this.
I want to compare my last transaction date / time which display in a label which I get from the data base to the system date / time and if there is a deference of 5 minutes then I get a massage.The code that I ve got check that the last transaction date is smaller but I dont know how to set it so that it only check for 5 minutes.This is what I ve got but its not doing what I expected.
