How can I "truncate" a DateTime variable so that only e.g. the current minute remains?
Like in:
Dim myDateTime As DateTime
myDateTime = Now
.... (what would have to come here)
If Now is e.g. 15:43:21 then leave only 15:43:00 in the variable?
Previously I converted a string with year, month, day and minutes/seconds using
CDateTime(conYear, conMonth, conDay, conHour, conMinute, conSecond)
This code will no longer work in VB.net and I cannot figure out how to do this with 2005 VS. The string originally is something like "20100310142715" and should be broken down into year, month, day, hour, minute, second.
I try to compare Datetime.Now with a Datetime variable I set, using the Datetime.CompareTo() method. I use a timer to compare these every second and display the result, but as the current time approaches the time I set, the result changes from 1 to -1, but never 0, which means these two are never equal. I'm suspecting the Datetime structure contains milliseconds?

I need to obtain time values from a SQL DB. However, I was able to set the datatype for the respective column in the SQL table only to "datetime" as there is no "time" option in the dropdown list in the Visual Web Developer. Namely, I want to bind a Listbox control only to the time data (i.e. not to "dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm:ss"). I tried to convert the datetime values to string and then extract the last 9 chars that refer to time.Unfortunately, my attempts to do that with SubString have failed:
weekDays.DataTextField=Convert.ToString("Start").SubString(length("Start")-10,9)
where:
weekDays - ListBox

I prefer to solve this problem at application rather than db level. NOTE: DueDate in database is of type datetime. I'm coding in C# interacting with Sql-Server. I hope my question is clear enough.
I am looking for formula that is accurate in converting Minutes to Decimal Minutes i.e 30 minutes is 50 Minutes in Decimals so 1.3 hours is 1.50 and not 1.5 i have used Minutes/60 but it is not accurate as some times i have to Multiply the result by 100 and some time 1000 to get correct results based on single digit Try 1/60, 10/60 99/60 or 100/60.What would be the most efficient and correct way to Convert the time into Minutes ?

I know that d is the same date as the one in SQL server, specifically 3/31/2011 12:00:00 AM.

View 1 Repliesis there a simple way to truncate an array ? Something like placing an end characted in the array which would signify its end ?

how to truncate my string value to 17 characters only.
in my program, the acceptable number of characters for First Name is 17. Characters more than 17 should be truncated but it may cut words in the middle. I need to make the length max 17 characters, but, if it cuts a word, it should also remove this half-word completely.
I have an VB.NET app that writes the status to a log file in text format. Over time, the file is getting large and I wanted to know if there is an efficient way to truncate the beginning of the file.
To make things easier, I am looking to specify a file size (say 2-3 mb) and I am writing the log using a StreamWriter:
Using strm As New IO.StreamWriter(filelocation.log, True)
strm.WriteLine("msg to write")
strm.Close()
End Using
I thought about using the strm.BaseStream.Length to determine how much of the file to cut off, but by using the .SetLength it would cut from the end - not the desired result.
I've been using it and even saw a method in a MSDN search given that suggests that it should be used but have found that there are defects using it. An example of problem occurring.
Dim db As Double
db = Int(10.12 * 100) / 100
db should be equal to 10.12 but the result you get will be 10.11. In the above example nothing is being truncated. If you added some digits right of the 2 it would give a good result. But if you're using a variable and it sometimes is equal to 10.12 or 9.12 etc. then a problem would occur. Also if 10.12 was replaced with 10.03 you'd get a result of 10.02. 10.04 gives a result of 10.03. 10.2 gives a result of 10.19. I'm now using code such as what is seen below instead of using Int() :
bd = Decimal.Truncate(CDec(10.12 * 100)) / 100
You could declare bd as a Decimal and then you wouldn't have to use CDec(). If I try Int(1012) the result is 1012 but Int(10.12 * 100) will give 1011. Pretty weird in my opinion.

I have an application that provides a countdown for 60 minutes and I'm currently using the win form timer and it updates some labels and a progressbar. Now I have to change this to be a countdown for 360 minutes. Will the win form timer be sufficient or should I implement a Timers.Timer instead?
View 6 RepliesI wrote a loop that posted an accrued principal cycle to a listbox for a period of 10 years (10 loop cycles). The problem is: not only does the amount of the principal reconfigure for each loop cycle, but it does not truncate into a two decimal place holder as it should. I would like to use the ("F2") but I am not sure where to put it within the code. Here is what I have for the Calculate button event handler.

Label1 isn't showing 'Times Matched':[code]The default format of 'Now' is the same as I have stored in dtmVar variable. So there's no question of format mismatch.
