Comparing DateTime's - Find The Closest To System Time?
Jun 21, 2010
I am looping through a list of DateTime variables and have got the .ToUniversalTime variable. I want to find out from the list which is the closest one approaching Now.ToUniversalTime but am having difficulty trying to work it out I had it looping through like this but this isn't much good as I only want to return the one that is the closest approaching to the system time. If TodaysCard(i).eventDate.ToUniversalTime < Now.ToUniversalTime

I am creating an application and I have the numbers 1 - 20. Each number represents a location. They are continuous. I need a way to find the closest number to a given location. For example if the event is in location 8 and there are 2 people who can attend who are in locations 6 and 10. Then zone 6 would be chosen as its closest and also the lowest. If I needed the next highest closest number then I could pull all of the numbers into an array and sort them and then pull out the one which is the next highest zone. However as I need to find the closest number which could be lower, im not sure how to achieve this.

I am a c#/asp.net developer and I am having to work on a VB/asp.net. I have two variables
Dim originalDate as DateTime?
Dim newDate as DateTime?
Both nullable datetimes, originalDate is a nullable date I am getting from the database and newDate time is set in code, I need to compare them, they can either both have dates, neither have dates or one have and one not.
I have a bit of code as follows:
if origEndDate = origEndDate then
When both origEndDate and origEndDate are "nothing" this statement is false (well when I run it in the watch window it comes back as nothing)!I don't understand why this is the case because I was under the impression doing an "=" compares the two values and as they are the same surely it should be true? What syntax should I be using as in C# I can do the above as so:
if (origEndDate == origEndDate) { }
and it will come back as true.

I'm working on a automated content updating script. When a new update is entered I insert into a database table, and cache, the time of the update.
Dim setT As DateTime = DateTime.Now
modCommand2.Parameters.Add("?brmt", setT)
modCommand2.Parameters.Add("?lup", setT)
'databse code here
Dim myData As String = CType(Cache("ltu"), String)
' if it's not there, add it
If myData Is Nothing Then
Cache("ltu") = setT
Else
Cache.Remove("ltu")
Cache("ltu") = setT
End If

Actually I have datetime value stored in the database. What I am taking from the textbox is a time value. I want to extract those results from the database which are between the given time value....To be more concise, my application is a booking system for a sports club and provides an option to view alreaady made bookings.. Here i offer two options either to view all bookings for a specific game or to filter bookings. In filter bookings one option is to filter through date and time...Date option is running okay but problem lies in time part...I provide two times but unable to view bookings between them...
My code is:
Dim prmtimefrom As New SqlParameter("@booking_time", SqlDbType.DateTime)
prmtimefrom.Value = TextBox3.Text
Dim prmtimeto As New SqlParameter("@booking_tim", SqlDbType.DateTime)

I have a web app that sets a var setT to DateTime.Now. This var is used to set a "lastUpdate" field in a database and Cache("ltu"). This value is also added to a cookie. the problem I'm having is that comparing the cookie value and the cahed value show that the cookie value is earlier than the cached value, eventhough it is the same value that cam from the setT var.I'm assuming that the fractional seconds are being set to 0000's in the cookie by some means which is the only explaination I can come up with.Now, Is there some way I can set the origianal setT DateTime.now value to not have fractional seconds, or zero fractional seconds?Do you think I'm going about this correctly?

I'm trying to match a certain DateTime value with the current system DateTime. I have a timer and a label on a form. Timer interval is set to 1000. When the form loads, the timer starts ticking. As soon as the current DateTime matches the value of the variable, it shows a message in the label. When I'm writing the following code, the values don't match even if the current system DateTime is equal to the variable. Label1 isn't showing 'Times Matched':[code]The default format of 'Now' is the same as I have stored in dtmVar variable. So there's no question of format mismatch. Does that mean 'Now' is not actually a DateTime property? Provided, my O.S. is Windows Vista Ultimate and all date/time settings are set to default.

I'm writing a report scheduler that is somewhat of a clone to the backupexec scheduler and the layout can be seen in post #10 here: [URL]..It works great and saves/edits/deletes records just fine, but now i need to compare those records one at a time in a windows service that i'm writing in order to trigger automated report creation and emailing - i already have the report and i already have the code for the emailing, i'm just looking for the most efficient way to loop through the table (that i've pulled in to a dataset) and compare its records with the current date and time - if true, the event fires.
[Code]...
1stSun, 2ndSun etc are bit fields, time is a datetime, and the remainder are varchar. My service checks the database every thirty seconds.The english version of what i'm trying to do is "Connect to the database, grab the entire table (it will always only have 5-6 entries max, so i felt 30 second sweeps was okay), and If today is the 1st Sunday of the month, and it is currently 11:00:00 a.m. (could be any day or time, this is just an example) - loop through the dataset to identify if any records match the time field or greater - if they do, fire the report

So there's this accounting package at my client that spits out text-based reports with invalid dates, like February 31st or September 31st.The reports are formatted with spaces and mono-spaced fonts. The data that gets parsed out are fed into a more formal local SSRS report, and that's about all you need to know.
What I am interested in fixing is the situation where a date is invalid and can't be converted into a DateTime struct. The date format from the report is "MMM-dd-yy" (e.g. "Feb-30-10"). The date strings need to be fixed before being shown in the formal report. I've seen this done two ways in my time as a developer, and I want to come up with a cleverer way of doing it (if there isn't a built-in way I don't know about).The first bad method (I can't believe I'm even showing you!):
Dim month As Integer = <Parse out the month from the bad date string>
Dim day As Integer = <Parse out the day from the bad date string>
Dim year As Integer = <Parse out the year from the bad date string>
Dim validDate As DateTime

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.

I'm trying to make this 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 the layout I've created so far, the two date boxes currently show the system date so even if I change the system date, both those boxes will adjust to show it as well. I want to try and make the system date a box without a drop down arrow and so you cannot edit the box at all. The box below is fine how it is as the user can enter any date they desire. And the text box at the bottom needs to show the difference between the system date and the inputted date.

I want to filter my results with respect to date and time....I have date stored in a separate field which is of datetime data type...Another field stores Time value but as it is a datetime data type so it stores current system date along with the entered time. Now when I filter results using date then it runs well and shows the results between specific period like between dates from 12/10/2011 and 12/15/2011...But when I want to show results with respect to time it doesn't show any results...
I am using dataadapter and dataset for retrieving records from the sql server database... Please tell me the solution for comparing time value taken from the textbox with the datetime value stored in the database so that i get results between specific time like between 12:00 pm and 6:00 pm.

Here's my test code:

It looks like it's because the day is systematically added by ParseExact even though I only specify the time in the format. My question is: How can I read just the time with DateTime.ParseExact?

Is there any difference between using the Microsoft.VisualBasic.DateAndTime.Now compared to the System.DateTime.Now? I seem to remember reading something that said the MS.VB namespace was for legacy use only, and was much slower than using the native .net classes.

I need to obtain time values from a SQL DB. However, I was able to set the datatype for the respective column in the SQL table only to "datetime" as there is no "time" option in the dropdown list in the Visual Web Developer. Namely, I want to bind a Listbox control only to the time data (i.e. not to "dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm:ss"). I tried to convert the datetime values to string and then extract the last 9 chars that refer to time.Unfortunately, my attempts to do that with SubString have failed:
weekDays.DataTextField=Convert.ToString("Start").SubString(length("Start")-10,9)
where:
weekDays - ListBox
