Format Date Output In Text File?
Sep 30, 2010I want to have an output like this in my text file
"30092010_1425","2010/10/30"
This is my code
oWrite.WriteLine("{0,10:ddMMyy_hhmm}{0,10:yyyy/MM/dd}", """" + Now())
I want to have an output like this in my text file
"30092010_1425","2010/10/30"
This is my code
oWrite.WriteLine("{0,10:ddMMyy_hhmm}{0,10:yyyy/MM/dd}", """" + Now())
I found a code snippet online[code]...
But the problem is that the text it outputs isn't properly formatted. It must adhere to a predefined width.
example: inside regional date format setting i set "Short date format dd/MMM/yyyy" and inside vb.net program i set "strSQL = strSQL & ",'" & Date(Date.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy")) & "'" ----> working fine. if user changed the regional date format setting to other format like "mm/dd/yy" facing problem during saving record into sql table. error date conversion. It's possible to avoid using computer regional date format from vb.net? or have any other way...

View 3 RepliesI work in an engineering design house and programming is not my actual profession. And I am relatively new to VB .net (previous i had worked in vb 6)
I am working on an in house application. I am coding a simple application in vb .net. This applications takes a few inputs from user and calculates a result. Now I want to implement a simple functionality that user should be able to save the input and results just like most of the windows programs can in a new file format. And user should be able to open the save file when desired.
I have an output file that I need to pull the current date in as a 'default' for the user. I know I can set the text over in the Properties Window, but how do I include a variable that changes based on the system date? For example, if I created the file today it would be:
File12042009.txt
I know how to format dates, I'm just not sure how or where to enter the code. Should I double click the SaveFileDialog and code it there? If so, how do I specify that I want the FileName = SystemDate? I'm not sure how to specify that I want to change the FileName property.

I 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
Normal

false

This question has been most likely been asked a number of times, but really hitting a brick wall regarding this.
The issue is that at the moment, I have to create a database using text files on VB.
So far I have managed to get the code working to add new customer and browse added records, but stuck on how to output/input back and fore to a text file, to store information, and after this input/output the text file to a DB ( Not worried about this at the moment)
Public Class Customer
Dim CmrColl As New Collection 'Create the new collection. Think of this as an array of objects.
Dim itemCount As Integer = 0 'A variable to help us scroll through the objects later.
