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?
View 4 RepliesI want to disable the clock so no one can edit the time.
View 6 RepliesI'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.

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.
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..
I have an application that I'm writing that needs to run 3 different Timers. One that will run every 5 minutes, 1 that will run every hour and 1 that has to run once a day sometime after 5:00 P.M. I know that I can seperate the application into 3 seperate applications and use Windows Scheduled Tasks to perform this however I would prefer to have everything in 1 application and just run the different Sub/Functions off of the appropriate Timer. I'm trying also figure out a way to avoid 2 timers firing at the same time.
What i would like to do is tell the 5 minute timer to run say 2 minutes after every 5 minute mark in the our so the first one would be at 12:07 and then the next would be at 12:12 and so on. The hour timer should run sa at 12:20. The daily one run at say 5:31.Is it possible to use the System.timer or the System.Threading.timer in this way?
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()

View 3 RepliesI'm writing a logging program that should log some values each 10 seconds, but I want these 10 seconds to be in sync with system clock e.g 8:32:00, 8:32:10, 8:32:20 e.t.c. One way to achieve this would be to use a timer with quite small interval like 0.2 seconds and do logging if the right time has come, but maybe there is a better way?
View 2 RepliesI 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).

View 2 RepliesI have a code written in VB.Net that will run on multiple systems. One of the function of that code is to check for files in some folder each minute.If we run code on different system at different times, it is possible that timer will execute the function to check the files at different times on each system. Is there any way, to make the timer running in each system in sync with each other so that it doesn't matter when the timer start on each system, they all will check for the file at the same time.

View 3 RepliesIn 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.

View 3 RepliesI 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.
View 25 RepliesI'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.

I have been looking on the web for the best way to do this and it seems that using AJAX would be good as it allows the loading of dynamic content to be done in the background. However how can I use AJAX? Should I add a ASP.NET website to my visual studio project? OR should I look to use javascript & AJAX in something like dreamweaver? I'm very new to programming so i only really have a bit of experience in vb.net.

I'm creating an application where I want to save a webpage to a file. The webpage has a Javascript function written into it. See below
<html>

There is a reason for this. I will be required to retrieve data from a Javascript API. The API can only display data on the webpage and somehow I have to retrieve it from the webpage.
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 but with .Net Framework 2.0. Haven't tried out 3.0 or 3.5.
I'm using VB.NET 2008. I am building an application which had a webbrowser named "browser1". When I navigate a URL on it like [URL] it successfully loads the page. I am using the code to inject a javascript file in this page.
Dim mScript As HtmlElement
Dim mHead As HtmlElement
Dim jsPath As String
jsPath = (SoftwareROOT.Replace("", "/")) & "/plugin.js"
[code]....
The code successfully creates the new element. But when it is trying to invoke script (the 2nd last line) then it fails to run the script.
Note: File path is OK.Code successfully works with a local page (like "c:est.html")."plugin_main" is a simple function of javascript alert().
I am *VERY* new to web-scraping and am trying to scrape some information off of a webpage that is heavily javascript enabled.

I am trying to scrape it using the webbrowser control using the WebBrowser1.DocumentText property, but it doesn't even show the links simply when I view the source in ie. I am sure this has something to do with the javascript it uses to load up the page or maybe iFrames,
