In my VB project I am returning an SQL datetime field to a date variable mdtCreated = CType(oReader("dtCreated"), Date) In an example it returns mdtCreated as #5/13/2011 2:59:43 PM# which is correct. Later on I want to show this as a string to dd/mm/yyyy format. I have tried mdtCreated.ToString("dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss") But that returns "13/59/2011 02:59:43". I want it to return "13/05/2011 14:59:43" How can I achieve this?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to format a datetime field to just show the date. The datetime is bound to an asp:label and for the Text attribute I have tried the following....
Text= String.Format("{0:D}", '<%# Bind("CReviewDate") %>')
and
Text= String.Format("{0:D}", <%# Bind("CReviewDate") %>)
[Code]....
In all cases I get a green wavy line under the equation and the tip help says "Validation (ASP.Net): If this attribute value is enclosed in quotation marks, the quotation marks must match. String.Format("{0:D}", DateTime.Now) is the syntax that I have been told should work.

View 1 RepliesNeed to convert a string to normal datetime format so it can be correctly inserted onto a datetime type field. String Format: 4/21/2010 4:43:03 PM Example: 2010-04-21 16:43:03.000 I have clarified question: The need is to change format and not type.

View 3 RepliesI wish to convert my string in format dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss to a DateTime of the same format.
Dim ukCulture As System.Globalization.CultureInfo = New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-GB")
Dim myDateTime As DateTime
myDateTime = DateTime.ParseExact("18/05/2010 23:42:10, "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss", ukCulture)
When I step through this code the variable myDateTime is 05/18/2010 23:42:10 it appears that the dd/mm is the wrong way around and I cant work out how to correct this.
I can't seem to be able to convert a string that contains date value of "100714 0700" (2010-07-14 7am) to a date format in vb.net 2005.
When I attempt to do:
Dim provider As Globalization.CultureInfo = Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture
strPickupDateTime = DateTime.ParseExact(txtPickupDate.Text, "yymmdd", provider)
I get back "1/14/2010 12:07:00 AM". How can I get a value of "2010-07-14 7:00"?

I have been struggling with this problem for several hours now and can't find the reason for the error message...I am reading a datetime string from a txt file, it returns this:"01/31/2011 6:13 AM" Now, I want to convert this string to datetime format. I don�t want to change the structure of the date... just want to convert in order to do some minutes and seconds calculations.I have tried all kind of options:
Timespan
Datediff

ParseExact with format.... culture... globalization
Nothing seems to work!

View 2 RepliesI'm having a problem converting a string to a datetime format. the string is depicting an hour, for example 08:00, but in the mysql database it stores that as 2008/00/00 00:00 any idea how to solve this?

I realize the code listed below, whose serial port using string formatting which I inherited is complicated. It formats a Date obtained from a DatePicker control into a "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" string format to send to a hardware device to be stored via Serial Port retrieves the date from the device and displays to user What I'm trying to do is port the code for use in a Socket rather than Serial Port which wants a Byte Arrray of the same Date Time string variable. I can't figure out how to encode and convert to Bytes the string value used in the Serial Port version. The evolution of the process is listed from top to bottom.

I am trying to format a string of arbitrary length into a fixed width field for display.
Let's use a width of 20 as an example, and call the string to be formatted s. I'm adding the formatted string to a StringBuilder named b.
Dim b As New System.Text.StringBuilder()
Dim s as New String
If the string I want to display is shorter than 20 characters, I can do this:
b.Append(s.PadRight(20))
or
b.AppendFormat("{0,-20}", s)
So far, so good. But, if the string is longer than 20 characters, I want the string to be truncated to 20 characters as it is appended. The code above appends the entire string.
I tried this:
b.Append(s.Substring(0,20).PadRight(20))
But, this fires an exception if the string was shorter than 20 characters.
So, I ended up with:
b.Append(s.PadRight(20).Substring(0,20))
This seems to do the job. The PadRight prevents the exception by making sure thet string has 20 characters before the Substring is performed.
I was wondering if there is an alternate method that would look more elegant and avoid padding the string just so prevent the substring from causing an exception. Have I missed a feature of String.Format that can accomplish this in one step?
Edited to add solution:
I ended up with the following code:
Module Extensions
<Extension()> _
Function AppendFixed(ByVal b As StringBuilder, ByVal s As String, ByVal width As Integer) As StringBuilder
[Code]....
This uses an extension method to clean up the syntax, as suggested by Joel and Merlyn, and uses the StringBulider Append overloads to avoid creating new strings that will have to be garbage collected, as suggested by supercat.

I have a function that is getting passed a String and a DataRow.The String is a custom formatter. The idea is to do this
String.Format(passed_in_String, DataRow("ColumnINeed"))
The reason this is being done is at this point we have no idea what the column contains.However, if the formatter is "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}" and the DataRow("ColumnINeed") is an integer containing 42, String.Format is returning: MM/dd/yyyy In this situation I need it to throw an exception instead of returning nonsense.Is there anyway to make String.Format throw an exception if the object does not match what the format string is expecting?
