View 2 RepliesI've done a whole lot of grabbing, formatting and relocating of data and stuck it in a RichTextBox. All good there. The formatted info needs to print. Also good. Unfortunately it is supposed to have page breaks at certain points. No biggy, I'll just use vbFormFeed. vbFormFeed does not work with Windows printer Drivers... Great... Also, since it's .NET and not VB6, no Printer object.
My current printing method (PrintDocument) is as such:
Code:
Private Sub prtCheq_PrintPage(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) Handles prtCheq.PrintPage[code]....
Title pretty much says it all. How do I format the date of a dateandtimepicker to insert it into the SQL date datatype?
View 20 Replieshow 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:

Dim d As Date = Date.Now

I have a date time as a string, eg. "2010-08-02", I'm trying to convert it to UTC with the following code snippet..DateTime.ParseExact("2010-08-02Z", "yyyy-MM-ddZ", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)When I print to the console, I get the following: 8/1/2010 5:00:00 PM.Is there a reason why the date shows up as the date before the date I'm trying to parse? I could just add a day to this to advance to the original day.
View 3 RepliesI'm fairly new to ASP.NET & VB.I've been asked to take an existing textbox that is automatically filled with the current date and allow the user to either add a "+" or "-" and a number or a spcific number and convert that into a date.I underdstand the basic concept on how to do this, but I'm running into some problems using the proper commands in order for this to work.The Textbox is called txtDate.What I've tried to do is this:
If txtDate = '+' Or '-' Then
DateAdd("d", txtDate, today)
End If
Here is what the whole thing looks like:

View 16 RepliesI am attempting to import data in a batch from an Excel Worksheet to a Sql Server database. Everything works except for the one date field in the spreadsheet. The date returned is off by four years from the value in the spreadsheet. Example: The Excel sheet has a date 10/24/2010 14:18, but when I look at the column in my query, the date is 10/23/2006 2:18. This pattern, 4 years and 1 day earlier, is repeated for every row in the worksheet.
The Excel column comes to me as a custom type, formatted m/d/yyyy h:mm. I receive this from an outside vendor and having them change the column is not going to be my simplest solution.
For what it's worth, the relevent part of the query is:
Select [Date Created] From MyWorksheet
I am currently working on a custom data type, and wanted to implement a = operator.

I want to allow the variable to be set like this
Dim nd as New NullableDate nd = Today Does anyone know how this can be done, or can anyone point me in the right direction?

And if I want to search for the record which there are record that are insert five days earlier, how to do that ? use (datetime.now - 5) ?
View 3 RepliesI have two tables: a schedule table that contains information about how an employee is scheduled and a numbers table in which each number corresponds to a date.
[Code]...
I can do this on the SQL side or the code side. I have Linq at my disposal if I need it. The table doesn't need to be compiled by SQL. This will happen dynamically on a website and should be as efficient as possible.I don't want to have to iterate through each and look for breaks in contiguous days if I don't have to.
I'm trying to write a program which compares the difference between any date in the past and the system date, showing how many days have elapsed since that date.This is what I've got so far:
Code:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub TextBox2_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
End Sub
[code]....
That's what it looks like so far. I was wondering how you can automate the top label so it automatically comes up with the date when the program is run.Plus, I need to know how to display the dates difference (how many days have elapsed between the system date and the user's chosen date) in the bottom label.
Would it be possible to search a table, confining to a specific date range based on a date-time column, and get a count of the 10 most used words in a particular var-char column excluding a list of words?All in SQL?Currently I am pulling out the records that match and sorting through the contents outside of SQL, I would think where I can do it directly on the server it would be more efficient.(SQL 2008)

I have a calendar column which is generated on from load. Its value is assigned to todays date - for instance 04/04/2012
I also have a comboBox with a list of months.
Is there a way I can change the value of my calendar column to reflect the chosen month?
For example, if I select January from my comboBox then have the date as 01/01/2012.[code]...
It is supposed to change the forecolor if the listview date in the first column is less than label 3's date.

When user stores a record, I need to make sure dates don't overlap.My simple code checks date ranges within a specific record (e.g. user enters 9/16/2011 or 10/21/2011, I throw an exception.)But, on the slim chance a user gets creative (e.g. 10/14/2011 - 10/23/2011 or even 10/14/2011 to 11/16/2011), now they have circumvented my check.BTW, the user could enter 10/14/2011 to 10/23/2011 if they were editing the record that contained values 10/15/2011 - 10/22/2011.So, I'm trying to solve this riddle with a linq query. However, what I have isn't working exactly right.

I'm trying to compare the modify date of a file vs the current system date. I've found an MSDN article describing how to get the modify time of a file:
Dim infoReader As System.IO.FileInfo
infoReader = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFileInfo("C: estfile.txt")
MsgBox("File was last modified on " & infoReader.LastWriteTime)
This gest the Date and Time, but I want just the Date not the time.
I am using VB.NET. Is there a date function that calculates the date based on the number of months I have given?
for example, if i say July 2009 and looking for 10 months back, it should return Sept 2008.
I need to compare the date that is entered with today's date minus some number of work days.
I used dateinterval.day, but that is the actual day, not the work day. i don't see a "simple" way to get work days.
For example, my number is 3, so i want 3 work days (M-F) not 3 days.
i am using date time picker and i am selecting 1 date from calender.after selection of that date i want to refresh date time picker i.e. it should display todays date.

View 1 RepliesSo 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>
