What is the best way to run a process say every 30 minutes? Or at 0900?
I have an app which does quite a few things, and want to add something that will run every 30 minutes. Don't want to use windows scheduler as i want to keep it all in the one app.
Is the only way to run a thread.sleep for 1800000? If so, can i run 2 background workers on the 1 app?
I have a code here that the result is set to expire in 15 days. (This code was shared to me by Cor Ligthert)

I want to change it to expire it in 5 minutes, how would i do that? Like this?
Dim expirationDate = CDate(registeredDate).AddMinutes(5)
If expirationDate < Now Then MessageBox.Show("Expired")

I then use loop to add to the minutes until it ends in a 5 or 0 to round it up to the next 5 minutes. e.g. 13:43 rounded up to 13:45 I use IF statement to make sure the minute does not exceed 60 to start the hour. I want to use that time to add hours or minutes to easier e.g. add 15minutes, add 1 hour ect.

View 5 RepliesI have a data bound DataGridView. The final column of this is for the last change date to see how new the data is. I also have a hidden label on my form that has the current system time and date. I am wondering how do I take the date that is on the label and insert it into the column for the last change date on the datagridview when ever a new row is added. This way it automates the process of putting the exact time that row was added.

I have written a windows service that is meant to launch a notepad when a specific action happens. The problem i have is that even though the service launches notepad, the actual notepad it self is NOT visible. I know that it has been launced because i can see the process in the task manager. By the way the process is listed as a SYSTEM process rather than a process under my user name (i believe that is because my process is a "LocalSystem" one).

View 3 RepliesI 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?
