I have a situation where I want to add penalty charges after every hour. For example if a target is not met it will start to incur penalties. So after every hour an 80 pound charge is given until it reaches the 5th hour where the penalties incur a 90 pound charge. Is there a way of doing this?
View 2 RepliesI am using vb.net 2010. I have a datagridview whose data source is a data table. I dynamically add rows to the data table.
[Code]...
After adding the new row, m_table is correct. However, DVGCusClient not only adds this row, but also adds two additional blank rows at the bottom. I have no idea where these two blank rows come from. Why I use above code is as follows: Use a data grid view to display data. When a user clicks a row, another form is opened which allows user to search/input some data.When the user closes the form, all data is saved to a data table and shown on the data grid view.
I wrote a VB.NET Windows Service, which works fine. I have only one issue with it. I want the service to execute on the half hour and top of the hour marks (e.g. 9:00, 9:30, 10:00, 10:30, 11:00, etc etc etc). I am using the following code:
Protected Overrides Sub OnStart(ByVal args() As String)
' Add code here to start your service. This method should set things
' in motion so your service can do its work.
[CODE]...
This code works, however, if the service starts at, say, 10:15, then it executes at 10:15, 10:45, 11:15, 11:45. How do I make it so it always executes on the 30 minute and top of the hour marks?
The following code takes a timeframe in minutes since midnight and creates an array with minutes pr hour. But, it's slow. Any better suggestions out there? (no, changing language is not an option :-) )
Const clDeparture As Long = 123
Const clArrival As Long = 233
Dim lHour As Long
Dim lMinute As Long
Dim alHour(25) As Long
[Code]...
So let's say I have 1400, I want to convert it into 2:00PM I tried the following:Dim convertedTime As String = DateTime.ParseExact(theTime,"HHmm", Nothing)
And it would give me this: 6/12/2012 02:00:00 PM
I do not want the date part, neither do I need the seconds. All I need is 2:00PM
I am stumpted when it comes to getting the current system hour.
View 3 RepliesghtSavingTime to the hour
View 3 RepliesI thought i had coded correctly to catch the Daylight savings time change, apperantly not.
Here is the code that I used:
If Today.IsDaylightSavingTime() Then
Day = DateTime.Now.AddHours(-1)
Else
Day = DateTime.Now()
End If
I've written a console utility to set file date/time stamps to a specified date/time:
For Each FoundFile In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(FileSpecPath, FileIO.SearchOption.SearchTopLevelOnly, WildCards) FileInfo = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFileInfo(FoundFile) System.IO.File.SetCreationTime(FileInfo.FullName, NewDate) System.IO.File.SetLastWriteTime(FileInfo.FullName, NewDate) System.IO.File.SetLastAccessTime(FileInfo.FullName, NewDate) Console.Write(FileInfo.Name + " " + NewDate)Next
When I go to a command prompt to check the results, the new date is correct, but the hour is off by 1 hour. Same when I check the times in Windows Explorer -- all three times are displayed to the same time, but exactly 1 hour earlier.The system date/time are correct (Vista) and we are not in DST.The files reside on a local drive (not a network share).The computer is not on a domain.
I have a problem with a application, when i start the program the speed is ok.after 1 hour of use the prohram go very slow.

I'm working on a program that records date metadata from files, such as creation time, last modified time, etc. An old version of the program is written in VBA, and does something like this: [Code] Both functions are running on the same machine, checking the same file. I've also tried using the IO.FileInfo class with the same result. I've checked thousands of files and they are all off by one hour. The other date properties for creation time and last modified time are also off by one hour.
I forgot to mention in the original post, The computer's time zone is CST, and daylight savings time is currently not in effect. I've reproduced the problem on Windows 7 64 bit and Windows XP 32 bit.
everyone who suggested trying to calculate the desired date from UTC using the appropriate time zone offsets. At this time I'm deciding its not worth the risk to do so. For this particular business requirement, its much better to say the date value is not what you expected it to be because thats just the way the API works. If I attempt to "fix" this then I own it, and I'd rather not.
Just for kicks I tried using the good old Scripting.FileSystemObject via interop. It gives the expected results that agree with Windows Explorer, with about a 5x performance penalty compared to System.IO. If it turns out I must get dates that match what Windows Explorer has, I will bite the bullet and go this route. [Code]

Is it possible to configure the System.Timer to run say 30 minutes after every hour? I have searched google to figure this out but all it shows is how to set it where it goes off once an hour, if I launched the app at 2:45 then it would go off again at 3:45. I can forsee issues down the line with this approach where if it went off at a specified time it would not have that issue.
Normally i would use Scheduled Task for this however it doesn't give you the option for hourly just daily, perhaps i'm wrong about this.
How would I go about creating a Timer that will fire an Event every 24 hours, 2 minutes? I know the Interval in ms is 86,420,000, but of course the Timer Interval will not go that high. Do I have to have a series of Timers to go off every minute until 24 hours is reached???
View 6 RepliesI'm using Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition and I was just wondering if someone could help me out with a few things? I'm making a Notepad-type program just to clarify things.1. I have a button which adds text to my RichTextBox1 (excuse the name), but when you click it it adds text to the end of the script. I want to make it so the text is added where your "cursor" (the blinking thing which lets you know where you're typing) is, at the current part of RichTextBox1. At the moment I'm using:
RichTextBox1.Text = RichTextBox1.Text + "The text I'm adding" If anyone could tell me the code to make it put "The text I'm adding" at your current cursor that'd be great.
2. I have a Save As button and a Save button. When you click Save As and save the file it works 100%, when you click Save and you haven't saved previously then it works 100%, but after you have saved the file and then click save it doesn't overwrite the file. Here's the code for Save:
[code]...
So if anyone can tell me the code that's needed so it will overwrite the current file 3. I have a FontDialog but I have no idea what the code is supposed to be to make RichTextBox1's font change after you click Okay in the FontDialog.
On compiling a visual basic assembly, int32 variables are cast as int64 for calls to adodb methods that require int32. This results in a method not found exceptions at run time. The unnecessary cast operation can be seen when using reflector to inspect the site of the method call and is not present in the source code.To further muddy the waters when the code is compiled on my 64bit windows 7 machine all is well, but on a 64bit windows 2008 r2 the unnecessary cast is added.

View 1 RepliesI have a VB2008 application that uses SQL Server 2005 Exspress Edition. I was modifying my application and then decided to add a table to the mdf (named "Pipe.mdf"), which I have don many times before, but I must have messed something up when I made other changes. After I added the new table I opened the Dada Source Configuration Wizard to add the new table to the dataset and I don't see the new table to select it. However, it added a copy of "Pipe.mdf" and named it "Pipe.mdf1" to the Server Explorer.
If I delete this copy of the mdf, it appears again in the Server Explorer when I open the Data Source Configuratuion Wizard.
If I add a Table to the copy of the mdf ("Pipe.mdf1"), it shows up in Dada Source Configuration Wizard.
what to change so that the new table appears in the Data Source Configuration Wizard for the original mdf (Pipe.mdf) and not add the copy of the mdf?
