Converting A Date-string Into A Date Object?
May 1, 2010
I'm using date in the format dd-mm-yyyy and I need to convert a string inthis format to a date type.My string is "18-01-2010" but when I do the conversion using dim TargetDate as date=CDate(TgDstr).where TgDstr is "18-01-2010", the resutant TargetDate, as note in the debugger window, is #1/18/2010# rather than #18/1/2010# which I expected.What change in code should I made to get the desired result?
(P.s. I've checked the current culture with the following line of code:
Dim str As String = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Name and get the result 'zh-HK'... and the date-time format I find in the control panel is also in dd-mm-yy format)

I have a string that holds a value in the format of ddMMyyhhmmss.
Example 240512024707
I need to be able to convert this date to a real .NET Date object.
I am currently using CDate but it seems CDate does not recognize the format, is there any way of specifying the string format to CDate ???
row.Item("NoteDate") = CDate(n.noteText.Substring(0, 12).ToString).ToString("dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss")

how I can ensure that conversion of a date to a string and a string to a date will give me the same date format.
For example:
Code:
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim d As Date = Date.Now
[code].....
I'm actually only interested in the date part as the label text shows so f is more than I want.But also, the day and month are reversed.

Can someone please tell me how I would convert a string of "Thu Dec 13 10:00:06 2007" to an actual date?

The user will select an entry in a gridview, which then redirects them to a form that is populated with the data from the selected row (thus making the gridview editable in a more user friendly way). Null values are accepted by the DB and I would like to show null date values as blank (or " ") in the corresponding text boxes. Instead I get the error:
Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'Date' is not valid.
Here is my code:
'preceded by connection code
Dim sqlcmd As String = "SELECT * from Master WHERE RecNum = @recnum"
'Dim sqlCmd As New OleDb.OleDbCommand("SELECT * from Master WHERE RecNum = @recnum", connection)
Dim FileCommand3 As New OleDb.OleDbCommand(sqlcmd, connection)

I have been unable to correctly convert a string to date. The string is read from a text file and placed into a string, below is a snippet of how the text file is read until the date is field is read:
Dim varOrderNo As String
Dim varDate As String
Static Dim currentrow(20) As String
[Code] .....
I have then tried loads of different ways to convert it to a Date so when I then write it to a SQL Database it enters as a date. The string read from the text file is in the format of 13122011. If I don't try to change it to a Date before writing to SQL it doesn't recognise it as a date and sets the field to 01/01/1900. I have tried and searched loads online and everything i try should work but doesn't.
Dim varDateConvert As Date
varDateConvert = CDate(varDate)
varDateConvert = Convert.ToDateTime(varDate)
varDateConvert = DateTime.Parse(varDate)
All of the above cause my program to drop out / crash at the point of the converting.
I have also tried to format the string to insert the '/' before converting:
txtDate.Text = varDate.Substring(0, 2) & "/" & varDate.Substring(2, 2) & "/" & varDate.Substring(4, 4)
varDateConvert = DateTime.Parse(txtDate.Text, Globalization.CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-GB"))
The result for the above is:
From File: 13122011
Substring: 13/12/2011
Convert: 12/13/2011 - Crashes here

I'm trying to do some validation testing in VB.NET. If Entity.WeekEndDate.ToString = String.Empty Then ErrorList.Add(New cValidationError("id", "Incorrect Week End Date"))
Where WeekEndDate is of type Date. When I originally build the object, how can I insert a value into WeekEndDate that will generate an empty string(ie. "") when converted from a Date to a String?

I am pulling two fields and putting them together with a "-". When I export to excel it seems to think that the string is a date and converts it from 11-11 to 11-Nov. I can't seem to figure out how to fix this.I am exporting a gridview into excel. This asp.net using .net 3.5 and vb.net within VS 2008.

I have a problem. I'm making a alarm clock and I need a way of converting a "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss" format into a date time format. This means I'll be able to compare the dates in a listbox using the for each function, to the current date and see whever it has passed and therfore the alarm should be deleted. It is currently in a string form so I can't use < and > to compare it to the current date as that is in a date form. I've tried using CDate but it doesn't work as it only will convert these formats:
"August 12, 2004", "2:07:30 PM" and "August 12, 2004 2:07:30 PM"

This should be really simple and I figured out how to do it in VBA but it's different in .NET. I have a 3 digit Julian date that I would like converted to a regular date (Gregorian). So if the number is 91, then that means April 1st (non-leap year) and if it's 304 then that means October 31st (also non-leap year). In VBA I was using the Day and Month functions to help me get an output to make it mm/dd format.

cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO Dropping (form_num, filing_date, approval_date, status) VALUES ('" + fnum + "', '" + deyt + "', '" + nulll + "', '" + stat + "')"
here is an sql query statement i run in vb.net. i keep getting the error of "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string." whenever i try to execute this. the datatype of filing_date and approvale_date is "text" but the deyt variable is originally Date, converted to string: (Date.Today).ToString, like so. nulll is simply a variable with vbNullChar as its value.

I used to query:
Dim a As String
a = "INSERT INTO tblVisitor(Name, Sex, TimeIn, EnterDate)
VALUES('"& txtName.Text &"', '"& cboSex.Text &"', '"& Now() &"', '"& DateTime.Parse(cboEnterDate.Text) &"')"
[code]....
Which cboEnterDate is my DateTime Picker. Then I got the message:Conversion failed when converting date time from character string.

The error is: Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.Basically I'm trying to make it so that when someone clicks a location in a list box it increments the correct field in a Stats table by 1 to say that they clicked the location. I've been trying to solve this for a while now and can't get anywhere. My date is in date format, and so is the Date field in my Stats table. My code can be seen below.
Dim Current As String
Dim Check As String
Dim objCmd2 As Object

The issue comes in with the second SQL statement I think. I don't understand why adding a date into a date field would be an issue, I've tried adding it as a string which didn't work.

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
[code]....
