Good day to all of you again, I've been looking into this problem for several hours now and I can't find what is wrong with my piece of code
[Code]...
have a really annoying VB 2008 problem and I'm hoping someone knows how to solve this. I implement the following code:
Code:
DispArrDate = MonthArr & "/" & DayArr & "/" & YearArr
DisplayArrDate.Text = DispArrDate.ToLongDateString
So basically, I'm getting date information from the user and trying to convert it into a date format, and show it to the user in a text box which is obviously named "DisplayArrDate", and "DispArrDate" is a date variable and "MonthArr" & "DayArr" & "YearArr" are strings which are always numbers because they are selected from a drop down combo box.
Now, the code works perfectly on my computer and some others, but for some unknown reason, on some computers, even if they have the same local date settings, it gives me the error: "Conversion from string "4/13/2009" to type 'Date' is not valid.", that's just one example, where "13" is obviously the day. I use the month/day/year format because, in the toturial I'm reading, it tells me, that no matter my local date settings, when using VB 2008, the month/day/year format should always be used and it will display a date in the local format automatically. It seems that on some computers, this isn't the case, and the month/day format is creating errors.
formating a date here
Dim dt As DateTime
dt = dsTitles.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item("servicedate")
lbldate.Text = Format(dt, "dd/mm/yy HH:MM")
The original date is - 19/08/2008 00:00:00
the date that variable dt gets is - #8/19/2008#
the final result is - 19/00/08 00:08
i have to update the values in my database some of them are integer, some string and some date (as you can infer from the formatting)
i am using the following query:
UPDATE PatientProfile SET HospitalRegNo=" + hregno + ", PatientName='" + pname + "', PatientAge=" + page + ", PatientSex='" + psex + "', Address='" + add + "', ContactNo='" + cno + "', AdmitDate=#" + adat + "#, OperDate=#" + odat + "#, DischargeDate=#" + ddat + "# WHERE PatientNo=" + pno + ""
but its not working... i think there's a problem in formatting the date type variables
I am trying to format the day, date, and time to look like something like this "Thu,

I'm try to come up with a way for a user to enter a date and time into a textbox and for that value to be saved as a datetime variable back into a database. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a clever way to restrict what values a the user can enter so that the datetime datatype isn't corrupted. I've been playing around with the date time picker but I cannot seem to get that to work for me. I'd like the user to either pick the date and time from a picker and save that into a variable. Or I've seen applications where the textbox will automatically have a formatting type of template that makes it hard for the user to enter an invalid date and time.

Similarly I have another column which must accept alphabets alone.

View 10 RepliesI am in the process of automating a PowerPoint presentation that shows graphs that evaluate the Metrics of the organization. I have successfully created the graphs, with one exception. The dates I submit to be used in the X axis always changes format once it gets into the PPT presentation. The graph template that I clear and write over has the date format as "Jan-07". The new date data is now being written as "7-Jan". I tried submitting the data as a string, but no matter which way I formatted it ("January 2007, Jan 07, 07 Jan, etc") it would always change it to "7-Jan". Have any of you encountered this problem? Do you know how I can change the formats of dates in a PowerPoint MSGraph that is automated through VB.Net?
View 1 RepliesI am throwing some data out into Excel and am having some formatting troubles. I have 5 columns (date, time, a long number I don't want displayed in scientific notation - text is fine, text, text). I can get it all working with numberformat, however I have to do them different ways.
Date works this way cell.numberformat = "m/d/yy" and it formats it to say 3/1/11
Time works this way cell.numberformat = "h:mm AM/PM" and it formats it to say 8:07 AM
For the long number cell.numberformat = "@" and it doesn't change the format and it gets displayed in scientific notation
BUT if I use cell.style.numberformat = "@" it works as it should, but it messes up all of the date and time cells. Apparently when you use style.numberformat, it doesn't just apply to the cell you're working with. If I try using style.numberformat with the date and time formats, they don't change and are entered as if I didn't change the format at all.
I have some VB .NET software that interfaces to a load of old (but sound) COM objects. The VB provides a GUI for the COM objects, part of which consists of setting various options on the COM objects - several of which relate to string formatting.I have a simple pair of VB .NET functions that convert basic %f, %d, %g formats to/from .NET equivalents using a large select case covering specific common strings, but they don't cover all formats.[code]Before I start diving in and making it more versatile with some parsing, does anyone know of a class (eg VB or C# .NET) that provides a decent ready-made implementation? Or perhaps some regexp wizadry could be used?
