I'm using date in the format dd-mm-yyyy and I need to convert a string inthis format to a date type.My string is "18-01-2010" but when I do the conversion using dim TargetDate as date=CDate(TgDstr).where TgDstr is "18-01-2010", the resutant TargetDate, as note in the debugger window, is #1/18/2010# rather than #18/1/2010# which I expected.What change in code should I made to get the desired result?
(P.s. I've checked the current culture with the following line of code:
Dim str As String = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Name and get the result 'zh-HK'... and the date-time format I find in the control panel is also in dd-mm-yy format)

The user will select an entry in a gridview, which then redirects them to a form that is populated with the data from the selected row (thus making the gridview editable in a more user friendly way). Null values are accepted by the DB and I would like to show null date values as blank (or " ") in the corresponding text boxes. Instead I get the error:
Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'Date' is not valid.
Here is my code:
'preceded by connection code
Dim sqlcmd As String = "SELECT * from Master WHERE RecNum = @recnum"
'Dim sqlCmd As New OleDb.OleDbCommand("SELECT * from Master WHERE RecNum = @recnum", connection)
Dim FileCommand3 As New OleDb.OleDbCommand(sqlcmd, connection)

I have been unable to correctly convert a string to date. The string is read from a text file and placed into a string, below is a snippet of how the text file is read until the date is field is read:
Dim varOrderNo As String
Dim varDate As String
Static Dim currentrow(20) As String
[Code] .....
I have then tried loads of different ways to convert it to a Date so when I then write it to a SQL Database it enters as a date. The string read from the text file is in the format of 13122011. If I don't try to change it to a Date before writing to SQL it doesn't recognise it as a date and sets the field to 01/01/1900. I have tried and searched loads online and everything i try should work but doesn't.
Dim varDateConvert As Date
varDateConvert = CDate(varDate)
varDateConvert = Convert.ToDateTime(varDate)
varDateConvert = DateTime.Parse(varDate)
All of the above cause my program to drop out / crash at the point of the converting.
I have also tried to format the string to insert the '/' before converting:
txtDate.Text = varDate.Substring(0, 2) & "/" & varDate.Substring(2, 2) & "/" & varDate.Substring(4, 4)
varDateConvert = DateTime.Parse(txtDate.Text, Globalization.CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-GB"))
The result for the above is:
From File: 13122011
Substring: 13/12/2011
Convert: 12/13/2011 - Crashes here

I'm trying to do some validation testing in VB.NET. If Entity.WeekEndDate.ToString = String.Empty Then ErrorList.Add(New cValidationError("id", "Incorrect Week End Date"))
Where WeekEndDate is of type Date. When I originally build the object, how can I insert a value into WeekEndDate that will generate an empty string(ie. "") when converted from a Date to a String?

I am pulling two fields and putting them together with a "-". When I export to excel it seems to think that the string is a date and converts it from 11-11 to 11-Nov. I can't seem to figure out how to fix this.I am exporting a gridview into excel. This asp.net using .net 3.5 and vb.net within VS 2008.

When using INSERT INTO statement to SQL 2008 R2 to a column with data type as date and the data I am taking from a DateTimePicker control with date format as short. When my system date format short set to dd/MMM/yyyy the INSERT INTO statement is working perfectly but when the system date format short set to dd/MM/yyyy I am getting the above error.I tried by changing the control format to custom and dd/MMM/yyyy but still the same error is coming.I am using VB2010 and SQLExpress 2008 R2 SP1?

cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO Dropping (form_num, filing_date, approval_date, status) VALUES ('" + fnum + "', '" + deyt + "', '" + nulll + "', '" + stat + "')"
here is an sql query statement i run in vb.net. i keep getting the error of "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string." whenever i try to execute this. the datatype of filing_date and approvale_date is "text" but the deyt variable is originally Date, converted to string: (Date.Today).ToString, like so. nulll is simply a variable with vbNullChar as its value.

I used to query:
Dim a As String
a = "INSERT INTO tblVisitor(Name, Sex, TimeIn, EnterDate)
VALUES('"& txtName.Text &"', '"& cboSex.Text &"', '"& Now() &"', '"& DateTime.Parse(cboEnterDate.Text) &"')"
[code]....
Which cboEnterDate is my DateTime Picker. Then I got the message:Conversion failed when converting date time from character string.

The error is: Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.Basically I'm trying to make it so that when someone clicks a location in a list box it increments the correct field in a Stats table by 1 to say that they clicked the location. I've been trying to solve this for a while now and can't get anywhere. My date is in date format, and so is the Date field in my Stats table. My code can be seen below.
Dim Current As String
Dim Check As String
Dim objCmd2 As Object
[code]....
The issue comes in with the second SQL statement I think. I don't understand why adding a date into a date field would be an issue, I've tried adding it as a string which didn't work.

I'm having some trouble converting the format of a date in .NET 2008...
Dim currMonth As Date
currMonth = Format(Now, "mmm")
From this code, I need to extract today's date in the format of "mmm" (so it should return.. "Apr")This worked in vb6 but not in .Net, I keep getting some sort of conversion error.. I looked at using theformatdatetime option but it doesnt have the format that I need... only short date/long date...that kind of thing.

it's telling me that I cannot show the DateTimePicker1 value in the label because the types are different. How do I tell the label to convert the date format for display? I've tried .string() but it didn't like that.

how I can ensure that conversion of a date to a string and a string to a date will give me the same date format.
For example:
Code:
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim d As Date = Date.Now
[code].....
I'm actually only interested in the date part as the label text shows so f is more than I want.But also, the day and month are reversed.

I have made an application with a client, server and listener. The server is a console app and the other two are Windows Forms Applications.
Basically i am using a Network Stream to send messages from the client which go through the network to the server which bounces them to the listener which then reads the message and tells the app what to do. (For example if i sent "shutdown", the listener would read it and then execute "shell(shutdown -s)".
The messages are sent like the following SendMessage("shutdown") but when i use a screen capturing API and send from the listener to the client like so SendMessage(background) i get the following error:

I have a problem. I'm making a alarm clock and I need a way of converting a "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss" format into a date time format. This means I'll be able to compare the dates in a listbox using the for each function, to the current date and see whever it has passed and therfore the alarm should be deleted. It is currently in a string form so I can't use < and > to compare it to the current date as that is in a date form. I've tried using CDate but it doesn't work as it only will convert these formats:
"August 12, 2004", "2:07:30 PM" and "August 12, 2004 2:07:30 PM"

This should be really simple and I figured out how to do it in VBA but it's different in .NET. I have a 3 digit Julian date that I would like converted to a regular date (Gregorian). So if the number is 91, then that means April 1st (non-leap year) and if it's 304 then that means October 31st (also non-leap year). In VBA I was using the Day and Month functions to help me get an output to make it mm/dd format.

I'm calling a Windows API that gives me a byte array which represents a unicode string - the problem is that if I call Text.Encoding.ASCII.Get String on it I just get the first letter of the string. The reason for this is that byte array has an empty byte between each character. I've verified that removing these empty bytes resolves the problem by just using a simple For loop to add the bytes that do have a value in into a new byte array, then calling Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString on that and that gives me the full string I'm expecting.I'm just wondering if there is any easier way of getting the working string though without having to do a loop and create a new byte array etc?
