display a Decimal (or double) to elapsed time [h]:mm:ss (hours:minutes:seconds)using vb.net?
example:
if you were to type "1.34666666666667" into a cell in Excel then choose Custom Format [h]:mm:ss The result is an elapsed time of "32:19:12". Using the OADate function only runs on a 24 hour clock so this does not work for longer durations unfortunately...

Very simple, I click a button and it shows the answer in the label. The answer to this is: 00:02:38 (according to excel)
But I want my Vb.net to change the decimals into the time as excel would do so. The answer vb gives me is: 0.001833786. So how can I change a decimal into a time?
I want to convert e.g. 21/06/2009 15:30:00 to seconds or a decimal number. Just like PHP, which uses a reference date (01JAN1970)

I am trying to calculate a total cost from an elapsed time. Dependant on how long the time is, this will calculate the total cost. It has to be 3 to every hour. The elapsed time is displayed in label6 in "hh:MM:ss" format and the total cost needs to be displayed in label8.

View 1 RepliesI have one text box that contains a value for the "Start Time" and another text box that contains a value for the "End Time."Both of the values are expressed in a format for military time (i.e. 1200, 1300, 1430, etc.).When the "End Time" text box loses focus, I would like the "Elasped Time" (expressed in minutes) to appear in a third text box.Seems easy enough...right?Well the problem I'm having is since the first two numbers in military time are base 24 and the last two numbers are base 60, a standard calculation subtracting the "End Time" from the "Start Time" does not yield an accurate result.
View 3 RepliesIm using the express edition of VB.Net to do my project. I have several threads in my program which run fine. However, im stuck at this problem. I have a button in my form, which if I click I will call ThreadA (works fine), If i keep it pressed for more than 2 sec i need to call ThreadB (doesnt work), and if the time is more than 2 min, i need to stop and send a msg to the user. I have tried the timer to calculate the elapsed time, so the tick function would call the thread. BUT this doesnt work... Im not sure what do to.
View 2 RepliesBit stuck on this one, have seen alot about how to do it just cant seem to get it right. I want to have 2 text boxes with times in them.. at the moment i have them on click events then it just runs a Now for the time and fills the boxes from the system time. But then i want the 3rd box to find the elapsed time from the 2 times in the previous boxes but i just cant seem to figure it out

I have a very simple StopWatch application in Silverlight. I have the following private properties in my MainPage class: _StopPressed (bool), _TimeStart, _Elapsed (string). I also have a "Start" and "Stop" button. The "Start" button calls a method called UpdateTime that constantly updates _ElapsedTime until _StopPressed is true. When I originally wrote it, UpdateTime would block the UI so I couldn't press the Stop button, so I updated my code to use System.Threading.ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem with my UpdateTime method so that it updates _Elapsed on a background thread. That works great at updating the value.However, if I try to set the .Text value of my TextBlock from within UpdateTime(), I get an UnauthorizedAccessException that has to do with one thread accessing the data in another thread.What do I need to do to avoid getting this exception and appropriately update the UI without blocking it?
View 1 RepliesHow long it would take to generate all of the numbers between 1 and X randomly.
X=1,000,000 took 6 seconds, and for 10,000,000 took over a minute.
Does that sound reasonable?
Experiment
stopwatch start
count = 0
do while count < x
select a random number between 1 and X inclusive
have i selected this number before?
no-add 1 to count
yes -

I'm creating a multi-threaded application (although it is not at the moment) which will be connecting to a large number of sockets. I've noticed when a connection cannot be made the connect timeout is rather large, so I am trying to make my own. Here is what I have come up with...
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
CreateSockets(2)
AssignSockets(0, "192.168.31.2", 80, False, False) 'shouldn't connect
AssignSockets(1, "192.168.1.1", 80, False, False) 'should connect

Looking at the timeoutOccured() sub, you can see I'm unsure of how to specify which index to set. Efficiency is important since this will be housing a lot of connections at once. Something else that just came to mind, would .theTimer.Stop reset the tick value on the timer?

View 6 RepliesI 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 trying to convert information stored in a file to a decimal (or ASCII) format, then write the contents of that file to a new file.
What I have is a list of files that are generated from a cash register. The documentation that was provided to me says that this particular file I am trying to work with has a length of 6, a width of 6, and that it's BCD type.
I've done quite a few google searches and can't seem to find a good solution. I know BCD numbers should be stored as 0000 format. But the problem I'm getting is when I read each part of the file (using my sr.read) I'm getting full numbers..and I am expecting the 0000 format. I'll get a 0, 0, 0, and then all of the sudden I"ll get a number that's 65,000..then I'll get a 34...and there doesn't seem to be any
I'm sure I'm doing something incorrect here, my knowledge of reading HEX, BCD, etc. is very minimal. I'm guessing it has to do with using a filestream, so I can use the fs.ReadByte() method..but when I tried that my program was literally chugging along for several minutes with no sign of ending.[code]...

View 8 RepliesLet's say I want to convert a Double x to a Decimal y. There's a lot of ways to do that:
1. var y = Convert.ToDecimal(x); // Dim y = Convert.ToDecimal(x)
2. var y = new Decimal(x); // Dim y = new Decimal(x)
3. var y = (decimal)x; // Dim y = CType(x, Decimal)
4. -- no C# equivalent -- // Dim y = CDec(x)
Functionally, all of the above do the same thing (as far as I can tell). Other than personal taste and style, is there a particular reason to choose one option over the other?
EDIT: This is the IL generated by compiling the three C# options in a Release configuration:
1. call valuetype [mscorlib]System.Decimal [mscorlib]System.Convert::ToDecimal(float64)
--> which calls System.Decimal::op_Explicit(float64)
