I have an Outlook.AppointmentItem property string which is a concatenation of dd/mm/yyyy and HH:MM:
.Start = Nz(Me.eventstart, "") & " " & Nz(Me.time, "")
Title pretty much says it all. How do I format the date of a dateandtimepicker to insert it into the SQL date datatype?

Dim str As String = 1 & vbNewLine & 2 & vbNewLine & 3
Dim s As String() = str.Split
For d As Integer = 0 To s.Count - 1
MsgBox(s(d))

Turns out to be:

View 2 RepliesI have a string variable that contains "19:39:43", I would like to convert that to a date object. When I try I get a formatexception was unhandled error during debugging. I want to convert it to format of hours:minutes:seconds but cannot see how this can be done..
Code snippet:

How can I best convert date and time string with format like:
"11/25/2009 6:30 AM" to "20091125_063000AM" ?
could anybody point me in the right direction in regards to the following problem? I have some data that has time and date in form of ordinary string. The format is always the same, for instance:

How can I convert it to time understood by computer and check if given time is in the past of in the future in comparsion to current time on my computer? I would also like to be able to tell how much difference there is between the time from my data file and the current time. For instance to say "this time was 3 hours and 20 mintues ago".
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

This seems so simple, but I can't get the answer. I need to get the current time in an hh:mm:ss or sss military format. By military format, I mean that if it is past noon, the hour is the PM time plus 12 (1 PM is 13, 5 PM is 17). I found this bit of code:
[Code]...
It returns the hour in AM/PM format. That is, if it is 4 PM, it returns 04 rather than 16). I can't find documentation on the hh:mm:ss mask. In fact I can't find a simple discussion on how to make the time of day property return time in various formats. After 3 hours of futzing around,

When using INSERT INTO statement to SQL 2008 R2 to a column with data type as date and the data I am taking from a DateTimePicker control with date format as short. When my system date format short set to dd/MMM/yyyy the INSERT INTO statement is working perfectly but when the system date format short set to dd/MM/yyyy I am getting the above error.I tried by changing the control format to custom and dd/MMM/yyyy but still the same error is coming.I am using VB2010 and SQLExpress 2008 R2 SP1?
View 2 Repliescmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO Dropping (form_num, filing_date, approval_date, status) VALUES ('" + fnum + "', '" + deyt + "', '" + nulll + "', '" + stat + "')"
here is an sql query statement i run in vb.net. i keep getting the error of "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string." whenever i try to execute this. the datatype of filing_date and approvale_date is "text" but the deyt variable is originally Date, converted to string: (Date.Today).ToString, like so. nulll is simply a variable with vbNullChar as its value.
I used to query:

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 have a datatable which loads data from an Excel Spreadsheet. One of the columns in the Excel SpreadSheet was of type "Date/Time" in which date values are stored. Now I appended the datatable with three new rows and I wanted to store string values in these rows using the code below. However due to the fact that one of the columns are date/time type, an error is generated as date/time column does not accept string value. I have two questions
a. Is it possible to store string value in date/time DataColumn?
b. Is there a remedy to this situation? [code]
The error is: Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.Basically I'm trying to make it so that when someone clicks a location in a list box it increments the correct field in a Stats table by 1 to say that they clicked the location. I've been trying to solve this for a while now and can't get anywhere. My date is in date format, and so is the Date field in my Stats table. My code can be seen below.
Dim Current As String
Dim Check As String
Dim objCmd2 As Object

The issue comes in with the second SQL statement I think. I don't understand why adding a date into a date field would be an issue, I've tried adding it as a string which didn't work.
Dim i as integer
For i = 0 to 365
sqlinsert.InsertCommand="insert into cashdate (date) values (getdate()+'" & i & "')"[code]....
getdate is a function in the database that returns the datetime of now i have an error that says conversion failed when converting date or time from character string .what to do now ??
how I can ensure that conversion of a date to a string and a string to a date will give me the same date format.
For example:
Code:
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim d As Date = Date.Now
[code].....
I'm actually only interested in the date part as the label text shows so f is more than I want.But also, the day and month are reversed.
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:
Select [Date Created] From MyWorksheet
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)
