Date Format - Take A String Formatted Like '010711' (DDMMYY) And Put It Into Format '01-Jul-11'?
Jul 1, 2011
I need to take a string formatted like '010711' (DDMMYY) and put it into format '01-Jul-11'. Ive thought about doing something like string.toArray and then having some conditionals that format from there but am looking for an easier way.
I'm trying to create a print function with a corresponding print preview. For some reason, any string I create with String.Format will NOT show up on the print preview! Use the code snippet below as an example:
Dim strTemp As String strTemp = String.Format("{0, 210} {1, 75} {2, 51} {3, 200} ", "NAME", "PRICE", "QUANTITY", "DESCRIPTION")
rs2.Fields("Field29").Value has values like "YYYYMMDD" in a string.how can i convert a "YYYYMMDD" string to a needed date format like 'dd mmm yy' (or any format)
example: inside regional date format setting i set "Short date format dd/MMM/yyyy" and inside vb.net program i set "strSQL = strSQL & ",'" & Date(Date.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy")) & "'" ----> working fine. if user changed the regional date format setting to other format like "mm/dd/yy" facing problem during saving record into sql table. error date conversion. It's possible to avoid using computer regional date format from vb.net? or have any other way...
I am working on a project inwhich I want same date format in all project forms. I want to use a form for setting/resetting date format for whole project. whenever I will change date format in this settings form, there should be this new date format available in all forms. how can I implement this?
I'm creating a VB app that uses the Infragistics UltraGrid to display data from 2 JD Edwards files. Before the data is displayed, first I need to convert 2 date fields that are in JD Edwards Julian date format (i.e., 111158 for 6/07/11....the 158th day of this year) to mmddyy format.

When retrieving rows from an SQL Server table I use the following code select mydate, Customer, Details from sales where mydatetime >= '" & format (somedate, "MMM d, yyyy h:mm:ss tt") & "'"This works fine unless the clients computers windows Region setting is 'English (New Zealand)'The default time format in windows Region and Language for New Zealand is [code]On computers with this region setting I get an SQL Error 'Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string'..If I manually select the other option for AM symbol, PM symbol in Region and Language i.e AM PM the all works fine again..What format string can I use so that above code always works, even if the Region time format is a.m. / p.m.
these are dates. They have been given to me by data dump into and xls. I am reading in the values into my app and need to run date calculations on them.
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 taken dtp value into date object but the date is displaying like this #12/16/2009#, how to get the date value should be 12/16/2009. Or suppose i took dtp text into a string then i convert string to date like this Date.Parse(string) but it's also showing the date value like this #12/16/2009# but i want date value should be 12/16/2009.

I am trying to make a filename something like this:
dim Test as string = "name_" + now.toshortdatestring() + ".pdf"
The datestring is like MM/DD/YYYY, which is a particularly bad filename (who want slashes in their file names??)Is there a way to format the date string differently (ie MM-DD-YYYY)?What I was trying to do is tag the file with a date so I could tell when the last time that file was generated, and also keep multiple copies around for archive purposes. Maybe there is a better way and then I dont even need this differently formatted string?
I am using the following function to Convert a String variable to a Date. Subtract a day from it and convert the date back to a String. The code goes as follows

If edate has a value 29/12/2011 than the value in expenddt gets changed to a different format and the value in expenddt comes to 12/29/2011 and later after subtracting a day expenddt is 12/28/2011 and than when i convert it back to a String i get the value in asd as "12/28/2012 12:00:00 AM"
Not so long ago, I saw somewhere a solution how to check if string is date in yyyyMMdd format (i.e. if it can be converted to date if written in such format). I can't find it anymore but I think is had something to do with DateTime.TryParse method but I can't get it to work. I can get it to work if string is in dd/MM/yyyy format, but dont' know how to make it with yyyyMMdd format. If I'm not mistaken neither of DateTime.TryParse method parameters is for assigning date format...
My user wants to have textbox fields that don't have any masks but wants those text fields to reformat any text that is entered as mm/dd if it is a real date entered
i want to insert a string as date format in mysql table using vb.net.my code is given below.but i always get an error .the string is stored in an array.
mycode ------
Dim sdfsa As String = Convert.ToDateTime(newarray(i + 17)).ToShortDateString().ToString("yyyy-MM-dd") Dim newdate As Date = DateTime.ParseExact(sdfsa, "yyyy-MM-dd", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) datarw("date_of_birth") = newdate
I have a string coming into my app that is in the form of: "Fri Sep 21 07:17:46 2008 GMT" or "Fri Sep []3 07:17:46 2008 GMT" ([] is a space) The tricky thing is the space for the date. I currently split the string and grab what I need to make a valid VB date.
Code: 'Receiving a timestamp in the format: Tue Jan 23 19:33:31 2001 GMT 'Split it and grab what we need to make a valid vb date _element = timeStamp.Split _dateAndTime = CDate(_element(1) & " " & _element(2) & " " & _element(4) & " " & _element(3)) Return _dateAndTime
I'm running into the problem when the date is a single digit because there is never a 0 on single digit dates. So, when I split the string I get a "" for _element(2) and that's bad. I know workarounds to adapt for this, however, my question is: How to implement the String.Format to manipulate this string as is and make it a valid VB date? How to make VB recognize this string as a valid VB date without a prepending 0 on single dates.
All of my regional settings in control panel are set to UK but when I retrieve a date from an SQL database (run from my PC) in my program, it appears in the MM-DD-YYYY format rather than the DD-MM-YYYY format that I expect.
After a bit of troubleshooting I found that this is because of the fact that SQL server always stores its dates in that format - so then when my program reads the data from the database it interprets it as being the US format.How can I convert this to UK format bearing in mind I am working with Date objects not strings?
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".
I am manipulating xml with lots of date of birth. XMLs are already loaded onto datatable. The format we need is "dd/MM/yyyy" The dates are messy such as "dd-MM-yyyy" or "dd.MM.yyyy" so I am thinking to write a function that will auto correct on a set of predefined separators to a correct format. so I am thinking to do something like this but of course, this won't just work.i cannot use replace to replace an array. If i can just do that, everything would be fine. Hope someone can point out a way around. [code]
My user wants to have textbox fields that don't have any masks but wants those text fields to reformat any text that is entered as mm/dd if it is a real date entered. They won't be using the year.
