Is there any way to make VB.NET to accept for all Date Formats as in VB6.0...I'm upgrading VB6.0 applications to VB.NET... Here I'm finding the Functionality difference due to VB.NET feature which goes for System date Settings.I tried using CultureInfo. But it also specifies only one format at a time..removing this functionality difference
Explanation : IsDate("MM/DD/YYYY") Returns False if the system date setting is of "DD/MM/YYYY"
Using OLE and Jet, you may receive errors when saving system dates and times to databases in different regions.Consider what happens when saving dates and times returned using the Now() function in Canada or the US: the date string "#2010/02/03 08:59 AM#" will save fine. If using 24 hour time, the string "#2010/02/03 08:59#" will also save fine.
If you change your system region to Spanish (Peru) or Spanish (Mexico), the ante meridiem changes from "AM" to "a.m." (or "p.m."). The date string becomes: "#2010/02/03 08:59 a.m.#"Note that this will NOT save correctly to the database and throw a System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException. The workaround we use is: Public Function clean_date(ByVal strDate As String) As String Dim str_buffer As String

I have a program (below) which runs an SQL query on an Access database to bring back records based on the date a user selects. This issue seems to be that US date formats are the only date formats that SQL queries accept. I may be wrong, but this is my understanding. All my dates in the database are in EU date format (dd/mm/yyyy). What happens when i run my code is that I can not access a record with the date of 08/05/2010 unless the input date is 05/08/2010.

I'm running Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express on Windows 7, using a Regional Setting set to New Zealand.
When I enter a date in a NZ format (d/mm/yyyy), the IDE highlights the date and tooltip reports date constant not valid. But it is valid for NZ! Meanwhile, the IDE happily accepts dates in the US format.
I would have expected VB to look at my PCs regional settings and set this as the default format. What is wrong here? I have reinstalled the application, but still have the same problem.
I am throwing some data out into Excel and am having some formatting troubles. I have 5 columns (date, time, a long number I don't want displayed in scientific notation - text is fine, text, text). I can get it all working with numberformat, however I have to do them different ways.
Date works this way cell.numberformat = "m/d/yy" and it formats it to say 3/1/11
Time works this way cell.numberformat = "h:mm AM/PM" and it formats it to say 8:07 AM
For the long number cell.numberformat = "@" and it doesn't change the format and it gets displayed in scientific notation
BUT if I use cell.style.numberformat = "@" it works as it should, but it messes up all of the date and time cells. Apparently when you use style.numberformat, it doesn't just apply to the cell you're working with. If I try using style.numberformat with the date and time formats, they don't change and are entered as if I didn't change the format at all.

although this topic has been posted for many times, I still can't figure out how to copy multi formats in clipboard.For example, I have a class called "Meta" and it contains data of a drawing. So if someone copy it to the clipboard, it should contains the original data of the class in a custom format called "drawing", a metafile of the drawing and a bitmap in case some app can't read metafiles. How exactly can I do?

View 3 RepliesI am completing a project for varsity and have done a lot of research on this topic but I can't seem to find the solution that I need. I am using Visual Studio 2005 and .NET Version 2.0. Here is the formatting they want me to use for the Cost Price textbox:"In your form, it should not be possible for a user to enter a cost price of 123.456 nor $123.45 (since we work in Rands and we also dont want to store the $ symbol nor do want the user to type a decimal point or a comma). Make sure that the cost price field has the following format: R ###. ## (where a user only has to enter the numbers)."

View 2 RepliesI would like to ask if you guys know how to convert 1 to 00001? For example, I have an item in my database with an ID of 00001. When I add another item again, it must increment already to 00002. But when I try adding one, the next ID saved is just 2. The zeros aren't on the left side.
The code is shown below
da = New OleDbDataAdapter("select * from booklet", con)
cb = New OleDbCommandBuilder
dt = New DataTable
[Code].....
The output in the database after the 00025 is 26 up to 50 only. If I add another again, it's just another 51-75 only. I can't seem to save it on a format like the 1st series of ticket number that I've added directly on the database with the format of 00001-00025.

If mystringvar length is less than 10, it gets spaces padded as expected. If myStringvar length is greater than 10, it is still displayed in its entirety and results in everything after being pushed out of their proper place. Is there something in the formatting codes that I can include to ensure that only 10 characters would be displayed? I could write my own function for dealing with it, but I'd like to avoid as much custom coding as possible, ya know?

I have a lot of keyboard keys stored in different formats. For example, "Up" may be stored as a string, as a decimal (200) or as hex (C8). I need to convert all of this different representations to strings so they can be easily understood by the user, and then back again when I save them.When I capture the key press using the KeyDown event, I can grab the decimal value from KeyEventArgs.KeyCode, which can easily be converted to hex if needed.

I have a custom business object which overloads the .ToString() function. It also implements IFormattable.ToString, so I can define my own custom formats.This approach seems to work everywhere in my app, except .rdlc reports. For example, I have a text field on a report with the following expression:
=Fields!MyField.Value.ToString("lr")
"lr" is a custom format I have created. When running the report I always get #Error as the output. I've placed breakpoints in my .ToString function and stepped through the code as the report is running, and I know the function is returning the correct value, but the report just doesn't seem to be capable of receiving and displaying it.
I know that you can create custom formats for the DateTimePicker control, and I've googled this but is there any way that you can allow a user to only select Sunday dates in a Month with this control?

I have a variable which I called ElapsedTime. I press a button and it displays the time in seconds since clicking the button, into a label . I did it with HTML
Private Sub Timer2_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer2.Tick
LblElapsedTime1.Text = ElapsedTime
ElapsedTime = ElapsedTime + 1
End Sub
Private Sub BtnStart_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnStart.Click
Timer2.Enabled = True
End Sub
This updates every second a bit like a simple stop watch. Great so far, because I do need the elapsed time (in seconds) for later use in my app. However, whilst elapsed time is being displayed in this label on the screen I want it to be shown in HH:MM:SS format. How can I convert it into a new variable " ElapsedTime2 " so that I can show it in the desired format yet still retain my original " ElapsedTime " variable for later.
I am trying to add formatted text to a rich text box...
