View 3 RepliesI have 2 datetimepickers. I want one to display the current time and the other to display the time one hour ago: So far I can getb them both to display the current time:
Code:
Dim TimeInterval As Integer = 60
Private Sub SustomizeGraph_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
TimeTo_dtp.CustomFormat = "HH:00"
[code]....
I wrote a VB.NET Windows Service, which works fine. I have only one issue with it. I want the service to execute on the half hour and top of the hour marks (e.g. 9:00, 9:30, 10:00, 10:30, 11:00, etc etc etc). I am using the following code:
Protected Overrides Sub OnStart(ByVal args() As String)
' Add code here to start your service. This method should set things
' in motion so your service can do its work.
[CODE]...
This code works, however, if the service starts at, say, 10:15, then it executes at 10:15, 10:45, 11:15, 11:45. How do I make it so it always executes on the 30 minute and top of the hour marks?
So let's say I have 1400, I want to convert it into 2:00PM I tried the following:Dim convertedTime As String = DateTime.ParseExact(theTime,"HHmm", Nothing)
And it would give me this: 6/12/2012 02:00:00 PM
I do not want the date part, neither do I need the seconds. All I need is 2:00PM
ghtSavingTime to the hour
View 3 RepliesI thought i had coded correctly to catch the Daylight savings time change, apperantly not.
Here is the code that I used:
If Today.IsDaylightSavingTime() Then
Day = DateTime.Now.AddHours(-1)
Else
Day = DateTime.Now()
End If
I've written a console utility to set file date/time stamps to a specified date/time:
For Each FoundFile In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(FileSpecPath, FileIO.SearchOption.SearchTopLevelOnly, WildCards) FileInfo = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFileInfo(FoundFile) System.IO.File.SetCreationTime(FileInfo.FullName, NewDate) System.IO.File.SetLastWriteTime(FileInfo.FullName, NewDate) System.IO.File.SetLastAccessTime(FileInfo.FullName, NewDate) Console.Write(FileInfo.Name + " " + NewDate)Next
When I go to a command prompt to check the results, the new date is correct, but the hour is off by 1 hour. Same when I check the times in Windows Explorer -- all three times are displayed to the same time, but exactly 1 hour earlier.The system date/time are correct (Vista) and we are not in DST.The files reside on a local drive (not a network share).The computer is not on a domain.
I have a problem with a application, when i start the program the speed is ok.after 1 hour of use the prohram go very slow.

I have this working in an application were i assign the current hour to a variable and check each minute if the variable has changed. Is there a cleaner way of achieving this in a service?
I also want the service to read this in form an XML file i have modified from a service control app can i use app.config for this as i've read your not supposed to write to this file?
I am using a textbox in vb.net but the input should be an hour format for example, "13h30". How can I enfprce this by a user? When he puts the first 2 digits like 13 then automaticly the appl. puts a "h" between?
View 1 RepliesHow to get the total minutes in an hour?
Example:
1 Hour and 20 Minutes.
I need to get the result at 80 Minutes.
I'm working on a program that records date metadata from files, such as creation time, last modified time, etc. An old version of the program is written in VBA, and does something like this: [Code] Both functions are running on the same machine, checking the same file. I've also tried using the IO.FileInfo class with the same result. I've checked thousands of files and they are all off by one hour. The other date properties for creation time and last modified time are also off by one hour.
I forgot to mention in the original post, The computer's time zone is CST, and daylight savings time is currently not in effect. I've reproduced the problem on Windows 7 64 bit and Windows XP 32 bit.
everyone who suggested trying to calculate the desired date from UTC using the appropriate time zone offsets. At this time I'm deciding its not worth the risk to do so. For this particular business requirement, its much better to say the date value is not what you expected it to be because thats just the way the API works. If I attempt to "fix" this then I own it, and I'd rather not.
Just for kicks I tried using the good old Scripting.FileSystemObject via interop. It gives the expected results that agree with Windows Explorer, with about a 5x performance penalty compared to System.IO. If it turns out I must get dates that match what Windows Explorer has, I will bite the bullet and go this route. [Code]
in one textbox i have 10:00 PM and in another textbox i have 12:00 PM....i want to subtract 10:00 PM from 12:00 PM and get result ie 2 hours...how can i perform that?

DateTime.TryParse(TextBox2.Text, d2)
Is it possible to configure the System.Timer to run say 30 minutes after every hour? I have searched google to figure this out but all it shows is how to set it where it goes off once an hour, if I launched the app at 2:45 then it would go off again at 3:45. I can forsee issues down the line with this approach where if it went off at a specified time it would not have that issue.
Normally i would use Scheduled Task for this however it doesn't give you the option for hourly just daily, perhaps i'm wrong about this.
How would I go about creating a Timer that will fire an Event every 24 hours, 2 minutes? I know the Interval in ms is 86,420,000, but of course the Timer Interval will not go that high. Do I have to have a series of Timers to go off every minute until 24 hours is reached???

Is that possible to get current Enumerator (...or iterator? Don't know which tern is the correct one) in a LINQ query ?

Dim sec = 1254234568 Dim t As TimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(sec)
How do I format the TimeSpan object into a format like the following:

Is there any way to check date and hour without using two Timers?
Right now i have this for the date:

PS (again): I thought about setting the Timer1 interval to 60000miliseconds, so that it would check the time everysingle step of the way (or maybe 10 minutes...), but I don't want the app to lag, so... How can i implement a Background Worker?
