with a system of regional date configuration as dd/MM/yy
isdate("13/08/10 10:00") ' returns true, but with a system of regional date configuration as MM/dd/yy
isdate("13/08/10 10:00") ' returns false
how to handle this situation, all i need is i want to check a string for convert able to valid date format & then convert the same.
I have a string coming into my app that is in the form of:
"Fri Sep 21 07:17:46 2008 GMT" or
"Fri Sep []3 07:17:46 2008 GMT" ([] is a space)
The tricky thing is the space for the date. I currently split the string and grab what I need to make a valid VB date.
Code:
'Receiving a timestamp in the format: Tue Jan 23 19:33:31 2001 GMT
'Split it and grab what we need to make a valid vb date
_element = timeStamp.Split
_dateAndTime = CDate(_element(1) & " " & _element(2) & " " & _element(4) & " " & _element(3))
Return _dateAndTime
I'm running into the problem when the date is a single digit because there is never a 0 on single digit dates. So, when I split the string I get a "" for _element(2) and that's bad. I know workarounds to adapt for this, however, my question is: How to implement the String.Format to manipulate this string as is and make it a valid VB date? How to make VB recognize this string as a valid VB date without a prepending 0 on single dates.
I want to to make date format dd/mm/yyyy with access 2003

I have developed a vb.net application, which searches for different kinds of dates from a document. When i test the app on my Windows 7, VS2010 PC, the dd/mm/YYYY date read as string is correctly converted to valid date format, and then it can perform followingfunctiontstimespan =Date.Now.Subtract(Convert.ToDateTime(DesiredMatch.Value)).DurationIt works fine on development PC.

if i used -- Date.parse("28/01/2011")
it gives me error as "String was not recognized as a valid DateTime."
so then i modify above code as -- CDate("28/01/2011").it gives me error as "Cast from string "28/01/2011" to type 'Date' is not valid." I used convert.todatetime also date.parseexact but nothing is working..
I am writing a program to analyze error logs from an existing application, and I want to consider only lines that have a Date/time stamp at the beginning of each line.( in the format "03/13/08 08:03:58") I am extracting this as a string and want to evaluate it to make sure it is a valid date so I am using "IsDate(Mid$(TextArray(i), 1, 18))". The problem is that IsDate evaluates False even when the string I am passing should be valid (eg. 03/13/08 08:36:59).

View 1 RepliesI 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
I have a txt file with a few settings that get loaded into the Program. These are put into an array. As the array holds different types (int, string, dates etc) its set to object type.
What i am trying to fingure out is how to check the date is a valid format, by returning a false value so i can have a msgbox pupup and say the date in the file is invalid. I cant use isdate() on the string from the file as even if the date format is correct its a string not a date type so i have to convert it first (which is the point it throws an error).
We are running .NET 2.0 ASMX web services on Windows 2003 server on IIS 6.0. We have migrated a legacy VB 6.0 application to .NET 2.0 application using VB.NET. CDATE function is used at many places and we did not replace that with .NET equivalent date functions. After migration, code was working fine for many years.Recently, we have started encountering issues on our production servers where the below code fails:
CDATE("11 Jul 2011 21:10:27")
Error: Conversion from string "11 Jul 2011 21:10:27" to type 'Date' is not valid."If we perform an iisreset, the same code starts working fine. Could this be due to some recent patch for Windows server/ .NET patch?
So there's this accounting package at my client that spits out text-based reports with invalid dates, like February 31st or September 31st.The reports are formatted with spaces and mono-spaced fonts. The data that gets parsed out are fed into a more formal local SSRS report, and that's about all you need to know.
What I am interested in fixing is the situation where a date is invalid and can't be converted into a DateTime struct. The date format from the report is "MMM-dd-yy" (e.g. "Feb-30-10"). The date strings need to be fixed before being shown in the formal report. I've seen this done two ways in my time as a developer, and I want to come up with a cleverer way of doing it (if there isn't a built-in way I don't know about).The first bad method (I can't believe I'm even showing you!):
Dim month As Integer = <Parse out the month from the bad date string>
Dim day As Integer = <Parse out the day from the bad date string>
Dim year As Integer = <Parse out the year from the bad date string>
Dim validDate As DateTime

cant seem to get this to work , I am tryin gto get the date from last week exactly 7 days ago i get an error when i try this "cannot convert to date "

Dim dateTimeInfo As Date = Date.Now
MessageBox.Show(dateTimeInfo.Date.ToString(Format(DateAdd("", -7, "yyyyMMdd"))))
txtFileDate.Text = ""
End Sub
I'm reviewing some code in VB.net, and in a validation object they have written the following
If Not IsDate(Entity.SelectedDate) Then
ErrorList.Add(New CValidationError("MainReport", "Please select a weekend date"))
SelectedDate is of type Date. It seems to me it would be impossible to ever hit this condition. Is this true?
How can i do a isDate() control on a date like 16/01/2008 in vb.net?
