Writing A Program To Download A File From An Official Website Every Sunday?

Jul 9, 2011

Im writing a program to download a file from a official website every Sunday. The adress of this site keeps changing. Does anyone know how I can link to this address?

[URL]

I've highlighted the part of the adress that changes. As you can see, it's a date, but not nessesarily the current date. It could be yesterday, or the day before. I've tried something like this:

Dim link
link = "http:www.fiskeridir.no/content/download/4641/30774/version/254/file/Register-internett-*.xlsx"

This doesn't work.

Clock - UTC - Give The Users Current Time Zone/local Time

Jul 22, 2011

So 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..

Getting The Time From An Atomic Clock?

May 28, 2010

I'd like to write a small app to get the time from an "atomic" clock -- I believe the UTC time and then compare this against the system clock.

So far I've been able to get the system time details with the code below but just cannot figure out where to start on getting the atomic clock(s) time.

I did Google this for examples and have not found anything useful, I did find a list of atomic time servers @ the following URL and realise I have to connect to NIST Internet Time Service clock

Dim localDirect As Date = Date.Now
Dim utcDirect As Date = Date.UtcNow
Dim localFromUtc As Date = utcDirect.ToLocalTime()

[Code]....

Alarm Clock - Launching App @ Certain Time

Dec 4, 2010

I would like to make an alarm clock application, however I am having some problems in the brainstorming phase.

My main problem is the fact that I dont know how to ensure the application will be able to calculate the time and thus set off the alarm. For example, when the application is closed, how will the alarm go off?

Ideally I would like to make this app a system startup item, so if the system is rebooted, the application will automatically relaunch - but again, I dont know how to do that.

If the system is sleeping, how can I wake it up? These kind of problems.

Another dilema I have, is if this application is always running, how could I have it go to my taskbar hidden icon menu (the right section of the taskbar next to the time).

JavaScript - Clock On Webpage Using Server And System Time?

Jul 8, 2011

I need to add a clock to a web page. The clock needs to be synchronized with a server but I really don't want to have it constantly check the server as the page will be open 24/7 on several PCs. Is there some way to get the time from the server and then use the systems clock to keep it updated and check the server every 15 minutes or so to keep it synced?

Form_Load I Randomly Generate A Time Value - Running Virtual Clock?

Aug 18, 2010

In my program's Form_Load I randomly generate a time value. Once I generate the time value, I put it in a DateTime variable. I need it to work like a clock. I know I can do this with a timer with an interval of 60000, or using TimeGetTime and updating a variable.Is it possible to do this with a thread?

VS 2010 - Shading Some Areas Of Clock Image Based On Time

Mar 30, 2011

I have a table which contains the start date and end date, in my db. What I currently do is simply display both the fields in a ListView control. But instead of that approach, I'm thinking about displaying a 'clock' image and shading those areas with some color. This is similar to a Pie Chart. But the only difference is, I'm going to display a clock's image as background and the shading is based on the time.

'global' Type Timer That Will Allow To Basically Run Clock Entire Time Someone Is On Site

Oct 21, 2009

I'm in need of a "global" type timer that will allow me to basically run a clock the entire time someone is on my site, no matter what pages they go to. I've played around with the timer available for forms but I didn't see a way to make it continue to run after someone left that page.The effect I'm attempting to create is for a timer to start whenever someone hits my site, then every X minutes an event will trigger. This event should happen no matter where they are on the site. I've read a couple articles on timers but to be honest I'm fairly new to VB and I didn't know if I really needed to learn about 'threading' etc, to get a timer to work.

Time Error When Automatically Adjust Clock For Daylight Saving Changes Is De-selected

Jan 15, 2010

I have noticed in a windows-based VB application I am working on when the "Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes" is de-selected, the time in the application is off by one hour. Is there anyway to make the application not sensitive to that and just display the date value that is retrieved from the database?

Synchronising Clock With System Clock?

Mar 12, 2009

I'm a totally newb to VB and I want to do this. I want to do display system clock into a textbox. The trick is that I want it to be synchronized with the Windows XP clock. I want to have something like +/- 100 ms accuracy.

Each 'second' change will trigger an output pin to ground into the parallel port. This is very important that the 'second' change in the same time the Windows XP second change. Do not care about the parallel output thing, I'm nearly there. My main concern is the synchronisation with Windows clock.

In my code, I've added a counter that increment +1 at each 'second' change. So, when the 'n' value will reach a determined value, it will trigger another event.

[Code]...

I searched on the net and I found a thing about NIST time server.. Maybe this could be an otpion, but I have even no idea about how using it... I'm a total newb, but I'm ready to learn. So, please use simple language, no hard to understand acronym etc.

Unable To Absorb Official MS Docs

Sep 11, 2009

I've been searching the web in general (and this forum specifically) for information on setting up Help documentation on a project - but the 'help' in the search just seems to give too much.I've never set up help documentation and was wondering if there is a good primer anywhere on the web or in a book - I've looked through VB books and none cover this topic also the I've so far been unable to absorb the official MS docs.

Read A Specific Attribute From A Xml Website?

Mar 26, 2009

I'm tryign to read a specific attribute from a xml website using this code:

'this is the url im trying to read, tmpIn is a string that complete the url:
Dim url As String = "http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=" & tmpIn & "&output=xml"
Dim reader As New XmlTextReader(url)

[Code]....

The problem is tmpIn takes diferents values (string) when the function is used and sometimes this works, and othertimes it gives an error (Invalid character in the given encoding. Line 9, position 15.), but is not because of the url, is when it tries to read the coordinates...
