I want to format the Timespan to have format like this 49 hr 34 mn 20 sec
I used the String format below :
String.Format("{0:00}:{1:00}:{2:00}", theTimeSpan.TotalHours, theTimeSpan.Minutes, theTimeSpan.Seconds)
It formats the Timespan to this format 49:34:20. How can I add hr mn sec to the String.Format above? or there's another easy way?
The bottom line on a dropped-down datetimepicker shows the date different then in the text-part.In my case, the text-part format was yyyy/mm/dd, but the bottom part of the dropped down part stated Today: dd/mm/yyyy, what is probably the format set in the regional settings.
View 5 RepliesWhat is the right way to use a custom format string on .e.g a zip code?
The zip code in the database might have 9 characters, but the program should only output five. Using string.format("{0:#####}","322318825") will output "322318825", the entire 9-digit code.
Zip codes are only an example. This is actually for a dynamic format function that takes two arguments, one is the format and the other is a database field value. Therefore, it cannot work by being strongly typed.
Say I convert some seconds into the TimeSpan object like this:
Dim sec = 1254234568 Dim t As TimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(sec)
How do I format the TimeSpan object into a format like the following:
>105hr 56mn 47sec Is there a built-in function or do I need to write a custom function?
I have the following code, and I want it to act as a stopwatch.
Dim spn As New TimeSpan(0, 0, 0)
Private Sub elapsedtime_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles elapsedtime.Tick
spn = spn.Add(New TimeSpan(0, 0, 1))
Label6.Text = String.Format("{1}:{2}", spn.Hours, spn.Minutes, spn.Seconds)
End Sub
However, when the "stopwatch" ticks, the time is shown like this - 0:3, 2:9, etc. How can I change it so that when the seconds are in the single digits, it shows the time like a normal clock (4:05, 2:09, etc.)?
With String.Format() it is possible to format for example DateTime objects in many different ways. Every time I am looking for a desired format I need to search around on Internet. Almost always I find an example I can use. For example:
String.Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy}", DateTime.Now); // "09/05/2012"
But I don't have any clue how it works and which classes support these 'magic' additional strings.So my questions are:How does String.Format map the additional information MM/dd/yyyy to a string result?Do all Microsoft objects support this feature?Is this documented somewhere?Is it possible to do something like this:String.Format("{0:MyCustomFormat}", new MyOwnClass())
var queryString = string.Format("filename={0}&filestream={1}&append={2)", fileName, Convert.ToBase64String(b, 0, bytesRead).ToString(), 1);
above line of code giving error 'Input string was not in a correct format.'
I have a function that is getting passed a String and a DataRow.The String is a custom formatter. The idea is to do this
String.Format(passed_in_String, DataRow("ColumnINeed"))
The reason this is being done is at this point we have no idea what the column contains.However, if the formatter is "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}" and the DataRow("ColumnINeed") is an integer containing 42, String.Format is returning: MM/dd/yyyy In this situation I need it to throw an exception instead of returning nonsense.Is there anyway to make String.Format throw an exception if the object does not match what the format string is expecting?
I am trying to do a custom date format in VB.net using Format. The data coming in is "2009-10-03 00:00:00.000" and I want it to be "OCT 03 2009 12:00AM". I am using Format(object, "MON DD YYYY HH:MIAM") and am getting screwy results ... "2006-09-17 00:00:00.000" becomes "9ON DD YYYY 00:9IA9".

View 5 RepliesSo I need a format string to pass to String.Format that would "move" the decimal point.I can't perform any math operations before doing the String.Format, so it has to work right off the bat.Basically I'm emulating a formatting string from a proprietary server. In it if I say:
"MR2"
for the value:
12345
The result is:
123.45
I'm close with this, but it's not spot on:
String.Format("{0:#0.##}", 12345)
an extra, but not necessary... there is also MR2Z, which moves the decimal 2 left, but if the value is 0 "" is returned.
however, i'm copying this directly from the book in its example format and still getting an error.
FormatException was unhandled

I came across this great article on creating a custom datagridview column which creates a graph-like effect in the cells of a custom datagridview column:[URL]..Does anyone know how you would edit this to format the number in the cell as a percentage? And does anyone know how you would set this up to take 0 values which do not create any graph effects at all.I have been trying to do this but keep getting errors.
