I have a predefine time value of we'll say 1:30 PM. Im wanting to start a process at 5 minutes till 1:30 which would be 1:25. So this is what Ive tried
Dim MyTime As System.DateTime
MyTime = TimeString
MyTime = MyTime.AddMinutes (-5)
[code].....
i have a variable [ Dim mytime = "12:30:00 AM" ]
i want to subtract mytime from TimeOfDay and i also want to get the difference as a integer value... how should i do that..
i have added the following code
Dim mytime = DateTime.Parse("1:16:00 AM")
Dim result = TimeOfDay - mytime
dim finalresult = result.Seconds
but it is giving me negative values
I'm subtracting hours from a date object like so:
startDate.AddHours(-7.0)
endDate.AddHours(-7.0)
However It doesnt seem to affect the day of the object. My question is this, when subtracting hours from the object does it subtract it from the global date? I.e make "May 7, 2011 1:00:00 AM" into "May 6, 2011 6:00:00 PM" when subtracting 7 hours or does it just affect the hours of the object?
i want to make an application to play movies etc at predefined time. i want to add the facility of overlaying graphics also.

View 7 RepliesI have a form with 3 txtboxes. The user has to enter their date of birth in the 3 boxes in the form
-DD in the first box
-MM in the second and
-YYYY in the third
I then need to get todays date and take their date of birth from todays date so that I can output to 3 labels the length of time they have been alive in years,months and days.I assume I will need to use timespan? in some way but I am not sure how , or is there perhaps a better way?
i want to subtract 18 years from a vb date object here's the code example:
Dim someVar
DirectCast(pcontrol, DateTimePicker).Value = Date.Now.Subtract(someVar)
someVar value is ?
I would like to be able to (on button click) start a countdown (in minute intervals, that also updates every minute) from the current time to a timespan that already exists.I read somewhere there are a few different timers, I need a solution that I can use in windows phone 7 as well as in a windows forms application.I'm aware there are a lot of existing questions, I just can't seem to find one that does this exact thing if someone could point me in the right direction even?

I'm programming a basic slot machine in Visual basic, and want to use a for loop to randomly choose the image for each slot, display the image in each slot, and change the slotName variable (so I can check later on which symbols are in the slots) for each slot. The problem I'm finding with a for loop is that the variables and objects for each slot have different names (slot1Name, slot2Name, slot3Name, lblSlot1, lblSlot2, lblSlot3, etc). Is there any way I could have could something like:
currentSlotName = "slot" & i & "Name"
This is the code at the moment, this code is repeated (with different variable and object names), for each of the 3 slots, which is pretty inefficient.
' Randomise numbers and assign images to slots based on random numbers, if the hold isn't on
' Slot 1
If Not held1 Then
slot1Value = Int(Rnd() * numbersGenerated + 0.5)
Select Case slot1Value

Me.Width is what i am having issues with. I can adjust the width to work on my system but the bar is a different amount of pixels on different versions of windows. I was wondering if there was a function that would give u the amount of pixels the side bar is. I was considering writing some code so look for a color change but people can change the color so i do not think it would work very well. Also the program allows you to draw in a picture box so that would make it hard to get it to work correctly.
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a little board game we play here in Jamaica just to see how it would look and as a sort of challenge for myself while on vacation. I'm however stuck on how to make my markers (PictureBoxes - two per player) move along the board.So heres my problem; I have 40 slots where the picturebox can be moved to (eg picturebox1.Top = 324, picturebox1.left=243). Now moving to these slots are determined by the roll of a pair of dice. How can I assign a variable preferably an integer for each slot so when the dice is rolled I can just do a little addition as to where the markers can be moved?

View 19 RepliesIs there an approach to preselect the items in checkedlistbox on formload.
1) I have a form with checkedlistbox
2) items in checkedlistbox are "One" "Two" "Three" "Four"
3) i have a string str="One,Two"
at formload i want these items in the checkedlistbox to be selected.
is there a way other than selecting these item by looping through the items in listedcheckedbox.
i.e., as we can get the selected items by using ".checkeditems" property
i need a way to select the items of checkedlistbox from a string or array in single statement without looping.

I am writing a mvc 3 application and part of its function is to send out confirmation emails along with an assortment of other emails.. I have the body's for the different types of emails stored in a database table.. Getting the values out of the table and dropping them in a email body using System.Net.Mail isnt a problem at all... What I need to do is somehow put somekind of variable marker in the body which is in the database table and then somehow parse the body text when its dropped into the email body to find the variable marker and put the correct value in it's spot..Code snippet of what I have so far is below:
Keep in mind that this will be a rather large body and there are a few places values will have to be dropped in.. I was thinking of having it use something like this:
Long mail body ^^Name^^ has been approved for classes starting on ^^Date^^ at the ^^Place^^ located in ^^Location^^..
When the code loades the text from the body when ever it comes across a variable marked with ^^ it would put the correct information in its place...
Dim _content As email = db.emails.Where(Function(f) f.ref_name = "Confirmation")
Dim _body As String = _content.email_body.ToString
Dim SmtpServer As New SmtpClient()

Do a simple thing first... open VB.NET, then open your Immediate Window. And type the following:
? -199037.52 + 198571.0
Its a simple mathematical sum which should return the answer as -466.52, but instead it shows -466.51999999998952. My project which is mainly about financial calculations has gone all screwed up because of these two numbers. All the amounts in my project are based on Double type numbers. Since this calculation is showing a strangest kind of a result, all my program code has gone haywire.
