How To Determine If DateTime Is Not Set

Jan 11, 2010

In VB6 if I wanted to see if a datetime field wasn't set, I could do something like if myDate = 0 then. I tried that with VB.NET and it can't compare to an integer. How do we do this now? I found the Ticks property, so if myDate.Ticks = 0 does seem to work, but I'm not sure if that's the "right" way to do it. None of the other things I've tried have been successful.

Dim dt As New DateTime
If dt.Ticks = 0 Then MsgBox("dt.Ticks = 0") 'this fires
If IsDBNull(dt) Then MsgBox("IsDBNull(dt)") 'doesn't fire, so no good
If Not IsDate(dt) Then MsgBox("Not IsDate(dt)") 'doesn't fire, so no good
'If dt Is Nothing Then MsgBox("dt is nothing") 'not legal syntax

Nov 12, 2010

I want to get the date value for

Nov 1, 2010 00:00:00 GMT

DateTime - Call To Determine Daylight Savings Time?

Sep 3, 2010

Is there a way in VB.Net to determine if the timezone the current system has daylight savings time in effect? Of course I can get the offset from GMT using the "z"/"zz" formatting option, but that doesn't tell me if DST is in effect for the current timezone or if the current timezone is in standard time...or if DST/Standard time aren't even an issue in the timezone for the system.

Match A Certain DateTime Value With Current System DateTime

May 7, 2010

I'm trying to match a certain DateTime value with the current system DateTime. I have a timer and a label on a form. Timer interval is set to 1000. When the form loads, the timer starts ticking. As soon as the current DateTime matches the value of the variable, it shows a message in the label. When I'm writing the following code, the values don't match even if the current system DateTime is equal to the variable. Label1 isn't showing 'Times Matched':[code]The default format of 'Now' is the same as I have stored in dtmVar variable. So there's no question of format mismatch. Does that mean 'Now' is not actually a DateTime property? Provided, my O.S. is Windows Vista Ultimate and all date/time settings are set to default.

C# - Compare Datetime.Now With A Datetime Variable

Dec 27, 2010

I try to compare Datetime.Now with a Datetime variable I set, using the Datetime.CompareTo() method. I use a timer to compare these every second and display the result, but as the current time approaches the time I set, the result changes from 1 to -1, but never 0, which means these two are never equal. I'm suspecting the Datetime structure contains milliseconds?

C# - Using .net Datetime In Sql Query

Mar 31, 2010

I have a DateTime object I want to compare against an sql datetime field in a where clause. I'm currently using:

"where (convert( dateTime, '" & datetimeVariable.ToString & "',103) <= DatetimeField)"

But I believe datetimeVariable.ToString will return a different value depending on the culture where the system is running.

How would you handle this so it is culture independent?

EDIT : I won't be using paramatised sql in this code...

EDIT : following Parmesan's comment to one of the answers looks like the best method may be:

"where (convert( dateTime, '" & datetimeVariable.ToString( "s" ) & "',126) <= DatetimeField)"

DateTime In SQL Is Different Than Where Live

May 6, 2009

My SQL server is running from the west coast and I live in the east coast, I am running a VB.NET code and to check for items within the right time I have to use DateTime.Now.AddHours(-3).

Now thinking about it, when the daylight savings happen, it will only be DateTime.Now.AddHours(-2), how do I go about fixing that from now? Is there a way to fix that?

Get A Value By Key Using DateTime.ToBinary

Oct 5, 2010

I've hit a snag in one of my apps and I could code it differently so it would work, but I'd rather figure out why its not working as is.

If you add a watch in VS to dtDate.Tobinary and lDateInBinary you will see they do not hold the same number; however, it evaluates as true.

Dim dtDate as new DateTime(2010, 10, 5, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Local)
Dim lDateInBinary as Long = dtDate.toBinary()
If dtDate.toBinary() = lDateInBinary then
'Hits
Else
'Doesn't Hit
End If

Here it shows two longs that are very different as being equivalent. In my particular problem, I have a dictionary who's key is a Long and when I try to get a value by key using DateTime.ToBinary it doesn't find the a matching key since the numbers are different.

Why are these numbers different? Why do they evaluate to be the same? They are both within the bounds of the min/max of a Long, unless I'm overlooking something (it's been a long day)..
