I'm trying to get an If statement to check is the date picked from a datetimepicker is at least 3 days prior to the current date, I can get it to calculate the difference however if I chose a date that 4 days prior to the current date (i.e the result being -4), the else statement doesnt fire.is this something to do with the result being a negative value? I did try to assign the DateDiff result to a variable defined as a short and then used this variable in the If statement, but still get the same issue. Option Strict isn't showing any issues.

I am reading a CSV file using OLEDB command in VB.Net
Everything is working fine. the only problem is that one of my columns has time value in a format "07:53.8"
When i read this value using dr.item(1), it reads the string into a date "01/25/2012".It gives me the same value in dr.item(0)
I am not able to read the correct value as shown in the CSV file.
following is the code
For I As Integer = 0 To 2
dr = dt.Rows(I)
MsgBox(dr.item(0))

I need to return the exact difference between two dates in the form of a string. If the dates are 01-FEB-2012 and 01-FEB-2014, the function should return "2 years" If the dates are 01-FEB-2012 and 01-MAR-2014, the function should return "25 months". If the difference is not in exact years or months, it should return the difference in days. I do not want to use DateDiff from the Visual Basic namespace so the code is portable to C#.
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to use DateDiff to find the difference between time?I have two time periods i.e. 05:00 and 05:10pm so i would like to run some code if the time is between the two specified periods. Ive searched around and i think DateDiff could do this but unsure?

I'm updating an old VB net application and trying to refactor some of the logic as I go. The app looks for data from a single date across a few tables and writes that view to a file.
Writing the query in SQL I'd get the equivalent of
SELECT * FROM table
WHERE CAST(FLOOR(CAST(table.date AS float))AS datetime) = '15-Jul-2010'
Ideally I'd use
SELECT * FROM table WHERE date=@input
and add a date object as a parameter to a System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand instance
Are those two comparable? Will I get the results I expect?
I am using VB 2008 and want to record a start date and time and then the stop date and time in a rich text box, i can get the start time into the box but so far can only stop the time instead of 2 seperate times, what i have is a drop down box with a list of computers 1-10 i was trying to get it so you picked a certain computer and that went into the text box then you started the timer and that was recorded, finally you stopped the timer and that was recorded but as i am a total newbie it does not work
Here is the code i have.

I am at college and am creating an app. however i have two main problems within my app. my app is a pizza app which will allow staff within a pizza shop to send the orders to the kitchen (this is just a listbox).but, the math doesnt work, the correct pricing isnt being displayed in the label for the orders for some reason. I have tried different ways of writing and placing my code but the result is always the same. also, i have five customers per table. if i select all the customers orders and click on send, only customer two's order will be sent. not any of the other customers, but if i just do customer one on its own, it works.

I have a context menu strip associated with a listview. Everything work just fine however one of my menu options on the context menu strip has a pop-out menu (you know, you hover over the selection, and another menu strip expands out).I can seem to get these to work correctly.
Public Sub ReleasedToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ReleasedToolStripMenuItem.Click
FileEntries(ListViewSelectedIndex).Status = "Released"
[code]....
So I changed my sub to read as the one VB created, and still didnt work. So I went back to edit the context menu, double clicked "Reserved" menu items, then VB creates a sub w/o the _1 (like I had before).Also the check-box status for these menu items works fine.
I have the following function in my program:
Format(Now(), "yMMdd" & "hhmm")
in 2009 it produces 912311200 for 12/31/2009 12:00
in 2010 it produces 1001011200 for 01/01/2010 12:00

I use the following statement to position which row to update;
Dim salonToUpdate = (From r In db.Salons _
Where r.StoreID = storeID _
Select r).Single()
If fileDate = #1/1/1900# OrElse fileDate = Nothing Then
SalonToUpdate.LastDownLoadDate = TableDate
[Code] .....
I've double checked to make sure none of the dates are invalid or null, but when the bolded statement executes, the following sql runs through the trace:
exec sp_executesql N'UPDATE [dbo].[Salons]
SET [LastDownLoadDate] = @p0
WHERE 0 = 1',N'@p0 datetime',@p0='2008-01-04 00:00:00:000'
Of course it's going to fail if LINQ is passing in where 0=1 every time. Shouldn't it be using some unique row identifier, (in my case, the salon id), to update the specific row?
i have a text box that has a max length of 5. when typeing into that text box the character input stops on the 5th character. if i set teh text property to a sting that has more than 5 characters the text box accepts the string. in vb6 i think that the text box would truncate the string to 5 characters.
does anyone know of a way to truncate, or get the text box to only accept the maxlength of the text box
[[code]I have this issue where most of the rows in the table do not fill in the data to textbox2 and any edits made in the text box when this happens do not commit to the underlying datasource.When scrolling down and back up the datarepeater different records seem to be shown each time the data on the left is correct in the standard DGV ... it's just the data repeater that doesn't work.

This is a follow up to another question of mine. The solution I found worked great for every one of the test cases I threw at it, until a case showed up that eluded me the first time around.My goal is to reformat improperly formatted tag attributes using regex (I know, probably not a fool-proof method as I'm finding out, but bear with me).

I have an ASP.NET application with a SQL Server back end. I am storing all my dates in UTC format and doing the appropriate conversions to the local time zone of the browser viewing it. One of the pages asks for a start date and end date (no times).
I am taking the start date and setting the time to 00:00:00 hours (midnight) and I'm taking the End time and adding a time of 23:59:59, so that the date range covers the whole day. Now what I'm trying to do is do a SQL query to do a search for records in this date range. The problem is, the data in SQL is in UTC time and the user is typing their dates and times in their local date and times. My quickest solution was to convert the date and time to UTC, then search the records. However, by doing this, I am to believe ASP.NET converts the given time and date to UTC based on the server time zone. How can I convert a date and time to UTC time based on the time zone of the user?
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
