I want to pick specific elements from DateTime and assign them to variables: Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute, and Second. In MSDN, I saw ways to assign it all, but not what I needed.
Can anyone one give a hint, or two?
Is there a framework class that converts the partial day strings on these forums to a DateTime? Examples are "a few seconds ago", "19 minutes ago" and 3" hours 26 minutes ago",
View 4 RepliesI'm having a problem that's driving me crazy; I can't understand how to convert the XML structure into a class structure (that I want to use to hydrate a XML document).
The XML document looks like this:
xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<artists xmlns:opensearch="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/" xmlns="http://www.spotify.com/ns/music/1">

Module Module1
Public Structure structure1
Public TRANS() As structure2
End Structure
Public Structure structure2
Public X() As Integer
End Structure
End Module
I'm new to VB 2008 after having spent a long time with VB6, so I apologize if this is a stupid question. But I'd really like to have this straightened out.
Let's say I have a pretty large structure that has lots of properties.
Code:
Now say that I want an internal database with about 10 instances of this structure total, describing, say, 10 different products that a store sells. When these values are loaded from a database, they remain totally static. (However, they can be different each time a program loads)
Now say that I have a class. Each instance of this class is a type of that BaseProduct structure. Meaning, each instance of the class pertains to one of the 10 types of products that the store sells. However, this class has additional properties that pertain specifically to each instance, which are not static.
Code:
Now, the problem here is... If I have 200 different transactions, each one contains an instance of BaseProduct. BaseProduct is HUGE, and is largely redundant (only 10 types possible), so I think it's a little silly to include a whole copy of it with EVERY transaction. However, the Transaction class really needs information regarding the base product it pertains to. Is there a way to, instead of declaring a New BaseProduct in the Transaction class, to simply make one of the properties of the Transaction class a pointer to a BaseProduct variable?
In VB6, I would accomplish this by making a BaseProduct(10) array, and then giving each Transaction an ID number referring to an entry in that array. But in VB 2008, using class structure, this is impossible. I can't define the BaseProduct(10) array outside of a class in a namespace, and if I define it in the actual application's form, then the class loses modularity since it relies on the application that's using it.
I am trying to communicate with an external device and i am trying to send a byte array to the external device via sockets but i am always getting a response the message size is too small so i am not sure what i have done wrong. Between the data type there should be no alignment present and all numbers are represented in little endian format. The char array is not null terminated as mentioned in the protocol specifications.
I have to send data based on a struct that embeds 2 other struct. So here's my vb.net code for the struct used to convert to byte array and the sending part.

how to convert string to datetime and calculate date
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to match a certain DateTime value with the current system DateTime. I have a timer and a label on a form. Timer interval is set to 1000. When the form loads, the timer starts ticking. As soon as the current DateTime matches the value of the variable, it shows a message in the label. When I'm writing the following code, the values don't match even if the current system DateTime is equal to the variable. Label1 isn't showing 'Times Matched':[code]The default format of 'Now' is the same as I have stored in dtmVar variable. So there's no question of format mismatch. Does that mean 'Now' is not actually a DateTime property? Provided, my O.S. is Windows Vista Ultimate and all date/time settings are set to default.

how can i set auto DATETIME...
View 5 RepliesI try to compare Datetime.Now with a Datetime variable I set, using the Datetime.CompareTo() method. I use a timer to compare these every second and display the result, but as the current time approaches the time I set, the result changes from 1 to -1, but never 0, which means these two are never equal. I'm suspecting the Datetime structure contains milliseconds?

It's been years since I've had to bother you with my silly questions but those had to do with VB 6. First of all, if I download the VS2010 Express edition will it replace all of my VS2008 edition, or will it be a separate entity. Also, the books I'm studying from are all 2008 -- will they still work on 2010?

I got the dates stored as varchar(100). I need to get them sorted when I use these records but I can't now because they are not stored as datetime. Is there any other way to sort dates or if somebody know would I loose my data if I would try to convert the column from varchar(100) to datetime now as it holds my dates or maybe it would convert ok?
View 33 RepliesDim d1, d2 As DateTime
d1 = DateSerial(2009, 2, 29)
d2 = New DateTime(2009, 2, 29)
for some reason i thought the two statements would generate the same date, but they don't. i found this out when trying to do age(years / days) calculations. if you are born on a leap day, i.e. 2/29/2000, dateserial is useful in that in non-leap years it correctly identifies your birthday as 3/1.

Public Structure Column
Dim ID As Integer
Dim Name String
Dim Birth As Date
End Structure
1) Is possible know how many element are in the structure?
2) is possible retrive the type of the data inside a structure? (Integer, String, Date)
3) is possible scan the element without use their name (by using an index as in the string) instead of use Column.ID=1 ? If the none of the questions are positive, what other stuff should i use that allow me to do that?

But though i can create enum but how can I embedd it in structure. It is not allowing me to do that.
I am using Visual Basic .NET 2008. I have a module in my project and couple of windows forms. Now in my module I wrote -
Structure Transport
Dim Veh as Vehicle ' pointing to enum below
Dim GoAhead as boolean
End Structure
[code]....
What I want is that another form should be able to call my sub Select (declared as public) and pass enum data declared in Transport structure. VB allows me to do that if my sub is private but not if my sub is public. To overcome this issue one solution is to declare the enum in the form class itself. But for this I will have to do it in each form.
