DateTime.ToString("h") Not Working?
Sep 29, 2010
I have a situation in which I want to get the hour component of a DateTime, but I want the 12-hour value that would go with an AM/PM. The only way I could find to do this was to use a date format string. Since h is the format character used for this, I figured I would use the method:
.ToString("h")
However, this would give me an error. But when I used it with a space and trimmed it:
.ToString("h ").Trim()
It would work fine. Why am I not allowed to use "h" as a format string?

Is the default format of ToString dependent on anything server related? Here's the issue: I'm testing and have tested an application on my local machine and ToString(), by default, is returning in a format of "MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt", however on our server it appears to be returning as "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt" which the consuming application is not expecting and causing errors.
Dim uvExpireDate = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(1)
Dim token = String.Format(fmtString, uvExpireDate.ToUniversalTime().ToString(), [various other params])

Why does: DateTime.Now.ToString("M") not return the month number? Instead it returns the full month name with the day on it. Apparently, this is because "M" is also a standard code for the MonthDayPattern. I don't want this...I want to get the month number using "M". Is there a way to turn this off?

I'm just converting a date to a string but I'm getting this error. It's not listed as one of the normal exceptions to the datetime.tostring method. Googling around, it looks like it's an actual bug where it thinks StartDate is an int--but that's no help to me, as I just need to convert the date.
dim StartDate as nullable(of date)
dim Date1 as string
if not StartDate is nothing then
Date1 = StartDate.tostring("yyyy-mm-dd")
end if

I have a variable called hour that will be used to display different text in a textbox based on what time it is. Basically, if the time falls between 12am and 3am, hour = 0, if the time is between 3am and 6am, the hour is 1, etc, breaking the day into 8 'hour's. How would I do this in vb?

I'm trying to match a certain DateTime value with the current system DateTime. I have a timer and a label on a form. Timer interval is set to 1000. When the form loads, the timer starts ticking. As soon as the current DateTime matches the value of the variable, it shows a message in the label. When I'm writing the following code, the values don't match even if the current system DateTime is equal to the variable. Label1 isn't showing 'Times Matched':[code]The default format of 'Now' is the same as I have stored in dtmVar variable. So there's no question of format mismatch. Does that mean 'Now' is not actually a DateTime property? Provided, my O.S. is Windows Vista Ultimate and all date/time settings are set to default.

I try to compare Datetime.Now with a Datetime variable I set, using the Datetime.CompareTo() method. I use a timer to compare these every second and display the result, but as the current time approaches the time I set, the result changes from 1 to -1, but never 0, which means these two are never equal. I'm suspecting the Datetime structure contains milliseconds?

I'm trying to add the date and time of Today into a Sql-database-field that has the datetype datetime.
[Code]...
the msgbox gives me the following result: 29/01/2011 18:49:21 my sqlException gives me the following error: 102 - Incorrect syntax near '18'. Is it better that i set the datatype to char in my sql database? It's maybe a bit easier? When I do that, can I calculate with these date?

When a custom class overrides the ToString() method, the C# IDE uses this function to display the class in the debug mode(tooltips, watcher etc) Does the VB.NET the same? I have impression that overriding ToString() method does change nothing. I mean, in the watcher I see Name myBusinessObjectInsnace Value {MyNamespace.myBusinessObjectInsnaceType}

If you try to compile the query below in Visual Basic .NET, it fails. From x In {1, 2} Select x.ToString() The error given by the compiler is: Range variable name cannot match the name of a member of the 'Object' class. There is nothing wrong with the equivalent C# query, though: from x in new[]{1, 2} select x.ToString()
This does not happen with the ToString overload that takes a format (it is a member of Int32, not Object). It does happen with other members of Object, as long as they don't take an argument: with GetType and GetHashCode it fails; with Equals(object) it compiles.

string var1 = (string)1;
string var2 = (string)intVar; //intVar is a int value

Converting an object .tostring() removes the leading zeros. The object is not a fixed length, so I can't do object.tostring("0000000") where the number of zeros represents the fixed length.
An example object value is "0357" when I convert that object .tostring it becomes "357".
Is there a method for keeping the leading zeros where the length is not known?

VB.NET 2008. How could I make a new line inside the ToString() Function that VB already have. How to do like a .WriteLine() but inside the ToString() function. In my case, this inside of a class of course. I don't know if you get me. All I want to do is to show a fraction in the normal way not using the slash(/). Showing the numerator on top of a line, and below it the denominator. This inside the VB pre-made ToString() function.
This is what I've tried;
Public Overrides Function ToString() As String
Return Me.numerator & "/" & Me.denominator
End Function
Output example: 2/3
But this is not what I want.

When I am concatenating object values together to form a string in VB.NET, is there a difference in performance or a recommended best practice between using the & concat or the + concat with calls to .ToString() on each object?
Example (which is faster or best practice):
Dim result1 As String = 10 & "em"
Dim result2 As String = 10.ToString() + "em"

I've been programming in vb.net a lot for the last 9 weeks and I have just come across a lot of double functionalities (hope I used the right word for that).For instance, you can use CInt, CType, Directcast or Convert to turn something into a integer. (Directcast doesn't really belong in that line but whatever).
With calling methods you can do DoWork() or call DoWork()With returning values in functions you can do DoWork() = 3 or return 3 Why is this? Is it just to make the transition frm vb6 to vb.net easier? Or about giving the programmar a lot of options. I must admit I don't really like to have that choice, I am always in doubt whether I am using the right method .
