Add SQL Database For First Time In 2010 Express?

Jul 4, 2011I am having a really hard time with the hour(TimeOfDay) VB Express 2010 command, is there any one reading this that could enlighten me on this problem please.My local machine time is in standard time, but the VB hour(TimeOfDay) command sent to a text box on my form is in Military time, is this a bug or do I need to use another command that I am not aware of, or can I use the format command to force it to
standard time and if so how do I accomplish this task please as I have battled with this for few weeks now and I am all out of ideas as to the nature of the problem.
I know about the following:-format(TimeOfDay,"h:mm:ss") 'displays time in standard time with out a padded zero format(TimeOfDay,"hh:mm:ss") 'displays time in standard time including a padded zero!
format(TimeOfDay,"H:mm:ss") 'displays time in military time with out the padded zero!
format(TimeOfDay, "HH:mm:ss) 'displays time in military time including the padded zero!
how could I do the same with the format(Hour(TimeOfDay),"?") function I also notice that the minutes and seconds can include or exclude the padded zero, I would also like to have control over these two commands please.
Date - Time Format When Fetching Data From SQL Express To Datagridview
May 26, 2010I fetch data from an SQL Express database table named ALARMLOG to a datagridview1. One of the columns of ALARMLOG is "TheTime" which has datetime data type values. This values are in the following format "22/04/2010 13:23:45 PM".When I fetch the data to the datagridview1 I get "22/04/2010 13:23 PM".The problem is that I can't display the seconds in datagridview1. I tried the CORVERT command of SQL in order to convert from datatime to varchar but nothing...

Feb 1, 2010I just downloaded the latest VB Express.

View 4 RepliesVS 2010 - Applications Made Using VB 2010 Express Expire After Some Time?
Nov 3, 2011Here are my questions concerning VB 2010 Express:
1. I've registered my VB 2010 Express, will it still expire?
2. Will the applications I made using VB 2010 Express expire after some time?
3. Is it OK to write my code in the designer.vb file? I don't know why, but when I started writing my application it took me to the designer.vb instead of form1.vb code.
4. I've been working on an application for a week now, but suddenly I can no longer access my Design View(Shift-F7). All my codes are written on the [form name].Designer.vb. I can still view my codes but I cant access my form layout. On the solution explorer, my forms no longer have the 'form icon'. When i press Shift-F7 nothing happens. Right-clicking the form on the solution explorer doesn't show 'View Designer' option. How can I fix this?

Unhandled SqlException In VB 2010 Express Thta Does Not Occur In VB 2008 Express?
Oct 16, 2010I tried to start using VB 2010 Express with a program I originally developed with VB 2005 Express that I moved to VB 2008 Express successfully a couple years ago. It uses a database file (*.mdf) that is on the computer ( not out on a server). When attempt to run the program in debug mode, I get the following error "An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Documents and SettingsTomMy DocumentsQuizzing StuffQuestion Database 2010QuizQuest ionGameQuizQuestionGameinReleaseQuizQuestionDB.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share."
I first made a copy of the entire project folder that was working in VB 2008 Express and gave it a different name. In VB2010 I opened the project in the copied folder and it said it successfully converted the project. I am able to open the Data Source inthe Designer and see the database structure as I expect. I think the project is still using SQL Server 2005 Express (because it is what is checked in the list of prerequisites on the Publish tab).
Note, I have programmed off and on for many years, but fairly new to using databases and SQL Server.

View 7 RepliesC# - Convert A Date And Time To UTC Time Based On The Time Zone Of The User?
Sep 6, 2009I 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?

XCopy Deployment Of A VB Express App Which Uses A SQL Server Express Database?
May 13, 2005It's probably just a case of me not looking in the right place or not seeing the obvious, but does anyone know if a machine with just version 2.0 of the .NET Framework should be able to run a VB.NET Express application which accesses a SQL Server Express database file? Or is there an additional requirement for a non-development machine to have some kind of SQL Server Express runtime component in addition to the 2.0 Framework?It seems to be counterintuitive to expect that a VB.NET application would be able to access any kind of SQL Server data without having some kind of SQL Server host component (Express or otherwise) installed. But then again, it seems just as counterintuitive that Microsoft would require the download and installation of the new framework as well as a separate database runtime in order for the average user to run an application with accesses a local SQL Server Express database.To me, it runs contrary to the whole concept of XCopy deployment to require more than just the application's files and .NET Framework for an application to run properly. But nothing I've read so far explicitly indicates that a user would require anything more than the app files and the framework to run an application which accesses SQL Server Express data. But...I can't get any VB Express applications which uses a SQL Server Express databases to run on any machine that doesn't have SQL Server Express installed.What am I missing?(Apologies if this isn't the right group to post this in.

Clock - UTC - Give The Users Current Time Zone/local Time
Jul 22, 2011So I currently have the following:
2 timers
2 labels
1st label is "Clock" this pulls the time from the users current time zone/local time
2nd label is "UTCClock" Which would be UTC time
Now I have this for the first label: clock.Text = Format(TimeOfDay, "hh:mm:ss tt")
Which would give the users current time zone/local time. As for the UTC.. how would I add in for the UTC time from where the user is located at? I did some searches.. but couldnt find what I was looking for.. IM pretty sure its not as easy as getting the users current time zone/local time.. So im assuming that Theres a "bit more" code into getting UTC time..
