Is there a way in VB.Net to determine if the timezone the current system has daylight savings time in effect? Of course I can get the offset from GMT using the "z"/"zz" formatting option, but that doesn't tell me if DST is in effect for the current timezone or if the current timezone is in standard time...or if DST/Standard time aren't even an issue in the timezone for the system.
View 4 RepliesI have a simple app that just shows the current time for specific locations around the world. I need to have it adjust for daylight savings time. I *THOUGHT* I'd already coded this but....
I thought I would use "Today.IsDaylightSavingTime()" and add 1 hour to the clocks. It isn't working?
If Today.IsDaylightSavingTime() Then
HawaiiOffset = HawaiiOffset + 1
PacificOffset = PacificOffset + 1

I have a form that has clocks for Hawaii, Pacific, Mountain, Central, Easter, GMT/UT, UK, Germany, Mumbai, Manila and China.I assigned a timer to tick the seconds and wrote the following code for the tick:[code]

I have a string "2011-06-30 09:55 EDT" that uses the US daylight savings format. Date.Parse cannot convert this because this is a non-standard format (EDT instead of EST). Is there a way to convert this string using Parse?
View 3 RepliesI am trying to get a program to recognize daylight savings in Sydney NSW Australia, but everything else in the program to stay on my current timezone settings Brisbane Qld Australia. All I ned it to do is to check a box (true or false).I have tried typing in dates and coding but I need it to think for itself, I don't want to have to change it every year.I'm using Visual Basic 2008?
View 10 RepliesI need to write some code to tell the user when daylight savings starts and ends in another timezone, this is what I came up with but it keeps selecting the last Else line. The other lines are working fine, the problem is only with the lines, daylight savings today and not tomorrow. There is probably a much neater way of doing this but I thought this would work.

I have noticed in a windows-based VB application I am working on when the "Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes" is de-selected, the time in the application is off by one hour. Is there anyway to make the application not sensitive to that and just display the date value that is retrieved from the database?
View 12 RepliesIn VB6 if I wanted to see if a datetime field wasn't set, I could do something like if myDate = 0 then. I tried that with VB.NET and it can't compare to an integer. How do we do this now? I found the Ticks property, so if myDate.Ticks = 0 does seem to work, but I'm not sure if that's the "right" way to do it. None of the other things I've tried have been successful.
Dim dt As New DateTime
If dt.Ticks = 0 Then MsgBox("dt.Ticks = 0") 'this fires
If IsDBNull(dt) Then MsgBox("IsDBNull(dt)") 'doesn't fire, so no good
If Not IsDate(dt) Then MsgBox("Not IsDate(dt)") 'doesn't fire, so no good
'If dt Is Nothing Then MsgBox("dt is nothing") 'not legal syntax

if (value is DateTime)

tell me difference between the Date and DateTime datatypes? Is DateTime newer than Date or is it just a synonym for Date? If the latter, why have both?
I used .NET Framework 1.1 in C/S project before. Now I have updated the project to use .NET Framework 3.5 without modifying source code, but I have found that : the Remoted DateTime values can not be converted to the equivalent local time of a remote computer that is in a different time zone. In .NET Framework 1.1, the DateTime values can be converted automatically.

View 4 RepliesI want to filter my results with respect to date and time....I have date stored in a separate field which is of datetime data type...Another field stores Time value but as it is a datetime data type so it stores current system date along with the entered time. Now when I filter results using date then it runs well and shows the results between specific period like between dates from 12/10/2011 and 12/15/2011...But when I want to show results with respect to time it doesn't show any results...

I get unexpected results when I use DateTime.ParseExact.
Here's my test code:

It looks like it's because the day is systematically added by ParseExact even though I only specify the time in the format. My question is: How can I read just the time with DateTime.ParseExact?
I am having hard time determining how to get 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place determined by time.

I need to obtain time values from a SQL DB. However, I was able to set the datatype for the respective column in the SQL table only to "datetime" as there is no "time" option in the dropdown list in the Visual Web Developer. Namely, I want to bind a Listbox control only to the time data (i.e. not to "dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm:ss"). I tried to convert the datetime values to string and then extract the last 9 chars that refer to time.Unfortunately, my attempts to do that with SubString have failed:
weekDays.DataTextField=Convert.ToString("Start").SubString(length("Start")-10,9)
where:
weekDays - ListBox

I've got a calendar app where we're loading up a DataTable from one method, then merging the results with another method - both methods return the same type of data and the same columns. One of the columns in the results is "start_time", which has a date and time. What I want to do is sort the entire, merged, DataTable by the time in the "start_time" column, disregarding the date completely. I've gotten this far, but can't see how to get it done:
Public Function GetDates(ByVal dStart As DateTime, ByVal dEnd As DateTime, ByVal nPageId As Integer) As DataTable
Dim dt As DataTable

I think I need to create a new column and grab the time from the start_time column and then re-sort the table
