I am trying to change the PC's System Date/Time using the following code. Everything works but the Hour. The Hour seems to change to 9:00 AM no matter what value st.hour is set to.
I have also tried:
<DllImport("kernel32.dll", setLastError:=True)> _
Public Shared Function SetSystemTime(ByRef theDateTime As SYSTEMTIME) As Boolean
End Function
to trace the days of a program installed in user's computer.However, the user can changes the system time of his computer to a advancing date. How can I get a SNTP time from internet to solve this problem?
The Now() function in VB.NET returns date and time which is different from the system time that I see on the right-bottom on the notification bar. It is 15 hours slower than the system time. Has anyone ever met this problem? I'm using .NET 2.0.
While trying to set date time using SetSystemTime by passing the Structure.Only the date of the system is changed.Time is also gets changed but incorect time is showing in the System Clock of the Taskbar.e.g When I pass the following Structure(timeStru) to the SetSystemTime [code]...
I am trying to read the pc system information so that I can retrieve the time and date format. My code below: Dim Info As System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo Info = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture.DateTimeFormat Debug.WriteLine(Info.LongDatePattern) Retruns in debug: "dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy"
So I have 2 questions; 1) Why is there, a dd after the MMMM. 2) My company has small franchise branch offices round the world - France, USA, etc. What I am trying to do is get the date format so I can decide what country I am in - then when I print out the date on my order labels I can change the date format to suit Americans or Europeans etc.
While I am running the following code If rdrOnClick.Item("DOB") <> "" Then dtpDOB.Value = rdrOnClick.Item("DOB" End If the error occur Unable to convert MySQL date/time value to System.DateTime
why did they make this so hard to do. Does anyone have any clear cut, basic 3-4 lines of code that can tell me how to add 2 time variables together to create a 3rd variable? I tried this but on Time2 I get Value of type 'Date' cannot be converted to 'System.TimeSpan'.
I have a application which gets info from an external feed where dates are in the format ddMMM. I'm trying to turn them into full date format so I was using DateTime.ParseExact. Which was correctly working out whether it should be 2011 or 2012 . But it is erroring when trying to parse 29FEB (which should be 29 Feb 2012. I can guess why its erroring. But if that correct behaviour is this documented and is there a better alternative? [code]
I am trying to write a program that shows the user the current system time and date using progress bars in VB 08 Express but don't know how to start it, I am having trouble with getting the program to refresh the minutes and seconds progress bars
Thought I'd see if Stack overflow is quicker than me testing something while I get a thousand interruptions from other work :)
I'm updating an old VB net application and trying to refactor some of the logic as I go. The app looks for data from a single date across a few tables and writes that view to a file.
Writing the query in SQL I'd get the equivalent of
SELECT * FROM table WHERE CAST(FLOOR(CAST(table.date AS float))AS datetime) = '15-Jul-2010'
Ideally I'd use
SELECT * FROM table WHERE date=@input
and add a date object as a parameter to a System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand instance
Are those two comparable? Will I get the results I expect?
I am using VB 2008 and want to record a start date and time and then the stop date and time in a rich text box, i can get the start time into the box but so far can only stop the time instead of 2 seperate times, what i have is a drop down box with a list of computers 1-10 i was trying to get it so you picked a certain computer and that went into the text box then you started the timer and that was recorded, finally you stopped the timer and that was recorded but as i am a total newbie it does not work

I have got a MySQL database that has got some dates stored in a Date format (YYYY-MM-DD) however when i try and import the data i get an error saying: "Unable to convert MySQL date/time value to System.DateTime"
I 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?
I am attempting to import data in a batch from an Excel Worksheet to a Sql Server database. Everything works except for the one date field in the spreadsheet. The date returned is off by four years from the value in the spreadsheet. Example: The Excel sheet has a date 10/24/2010 14:18, but when I look at the column in my query, the date is 10/23/2006 2:18. This pattern, 4 years and 1 day earlier, is repeated for every row in the worksheet.
The Excel column comes to me as a custom type, formatted m/d/yyyy h:mm. I receive this from an outside vendor and having them change the column is not going to be my simplest solution.
For what it's worth, the relevent part of the query is:
Would it be possible to search a table, confining to a specific date range based on a date-time column, and get a count of the 10 most used words in a particular var-char column excluding a list of words?All in SQL?Currently I am pulling out the records that match and sorting through the contents outside of SQL, I would think where I can do it directly on the server it would be more efficient.(SQL 2008)
i am using date time picker and i am selecting 1 date from calender.after selection of that date i want to refresh date time picker i.e. it should display todays date.
I have an Sql server 2005 table called Emploeefl with 2 fields, EmployeeCode and Date of Birth. The data type for the date of birth is Datetime. I have a Date time picker on a vb.net 2005 form called dtDateOfbirth. When I click on the save button I get the error message "Conversion from string 'yyyy/MM/dd' is not valid. Below is the code
Dim newQE_Date As Date newQE_Date = Format(Me.dtDateOfBirth.ToString, "yyyy/MM/dd") 'newQE_Date = String.Format("2008/09/10", "yyyy/MM/dd")
I'm trying to write a program which compares the difference between any date in the past and the system date, showing how many days have elapsed since that date.This is what I've got so far:
Code: Public Class Form1 Private Sub TextBox2_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) End Sub
[code]....
That's what it looks like so far. I was wondering how you can automate the top label so it automatically comes up with the date when the program is run.Plus, I need to know how to display the dates difference (how many days have elapsed between the system date and the user's chosen date) in the bottom label.
I'm trying to compare the modify date of a file vs the current system date. I've found an MSDN article describing how to get the modify time of a file:
Dim infoReader As System.IO.FileInfo infoReader = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFileInfo("C: estfile.txt") MsgBox("File was last modified on " & infoReader.LastWriteTime)
This gest the Date and Time, but I want just the Date not the time.
The problem that I'm having is that when I try to select a different date, the text doesn't go away. That may make no sence, but let me tell y'all what I've done.
1: Created a GroupBox 2: Put a DateTimePicker in the GroupBox 3: Put TextBoxs in the GroupBox 4: Changed the DateTimePicker to look like this: A)Checked - False B)Allow Drop - True
I thought that if I changed that, then the text in the text box would go to that specific date. It didn't do that, it just stays the same. What I'm trying to do is enter text in say 3/7/11 and when I choose date 6/12/12 it will display blank text boxes for me to enter something different.
