Constantly Update Current Time Display On A Windows Form?
Jun 28, 2011
I have a windows form where I want the time to constantly be updated. Right now it will take the current time from when the program was started.
For example, if I started the program at 4:30:29 PM that is what it will show the whole time the program runs.I need it to constantly be updated as the seconds tick by. So, If I started the program at 4:30:29 PM and ran it for exactly 5 minutes, the time displayed then should be 4:35:29 PM.The data being taken in and saved needs a time associated with it and the end user also need to know the current time as the program is ran in full-screen. [code]...

how you display a live or current date and time on a Windows for application.
I am working with Visual Basic 2008(VS Studio 2008).
Example: January 28, 2011 8:00AM.
I have several books, strangely this subject is not properly covered.
This is my
Private Sub lblDisplayDateTime_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles lblDisplayDateTime.Click
Dim currentDateTime As Date = #8/2/2007 1:02:00 PM#
[Code]....
Finally, how do I make the time load when the form runs? I can't seem to find an event, that allows the time to display when I run the form. Currently, I have to click the area containing the label to get the time to display.

I tried Console.WriteLine(Cstr(DateTime.Now)) and it shows the time down to the seconds, ie, "5/26/2009 5:17:02 PM" But, is there an option to show the current time more detailed than seconds, ie, "5/26/2009 5:17:02.xxx PM"

adding basically just the current date and time to a textbox/label or something like that? I have looked at coding but everyone seems to do it in such a complex way. Is there not a simple way of doing this? I don't want to use the date time picker as I don't want a user to be able to select the date or time.

I have a datagrid that loads at form time with the current database Information, when the user types in there username and password it updates into the database like a registering program, but the problem is i can only see the updated database when i restart the program. here is my code for INSERT [code] You'll notice im using Command Method instead off a Adapter, as i only had problem after problem with the adapter the command method seemed to be the better option as it worked straight away. When ive researched ive got information like used "SetDataBindings" also just so you know i don't have the option for some reason, also Refresh() Doesnt work either.

I have the following code for a gradient form below. When I step through my code it seems to fire constantly. Does this mean that it fires constantly at run-time? If so, is there a way to stop it from firing constantly
Private Sub Form1_Paint(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Paint
Dim Mybrush As New System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientBrush(Me.ClientRectangle, Color.LightSkyBlue, _
Color.Snow, Drawing2D.LinearGradientMode.Vertical)
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(Mybrush, Me.ClientRectangle)
End Sub

I have finished constructing my form and have completed my code. I have built the project with no errors, warnings or messages. None of my code is flagged up as erroneous. Yet when I try and run my app to test it, the form does not display at all!! It did, but it doesn't anymore. The only thing I have added to my form since it did display correctly is a couple of Month Calender controls and a couple of buttons, with a piece of code behind each control.
I have not altered any properties for the actual form itself..

I had created a windows forms application in vb.net. It contained several windows. Now the users of that application are telling me to display all in one main form. They want to see all the details in one form. I had implemented MDI but they want something like tabs. On different tabs different forms should be displayed. How shall I implement this.

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'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

I have two, soon to be many spreadsheet files. There are cell references between the files which need to be updated. I would write this in a excel macro but these spreadsheets are design tables for Solidworks, a CAD system and it does not allow macro enabled workbooks. So what I would like to do is push a button and open all of the spreadsheets, accept the update workbook prompt then save and close the files.
I've seen a similar command developed by someone using the Soildworks API but updating design tables in solidworks takes ALOT of time to run compared to just opening and closing spreadsheets.I am using Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 along with Excel 2010 Beta 2 (I like to have the new things)

I have a form with the DateTimePicker control on it. When I select a date it gives a value like "date time" (Eg.: 5/12/2010 12:20:35 PM). But here the time returned is current time. What I need is for the date chosen from the picker automatically set the time to 00:00:00 instead of the time when the date was picked.
