VS 2008 : Formatting Time In A String?
Jul 21, 2011
PROJECT TYPE: Windows Forms Application
LANGUAGE: Visual Basic
.NET VERSION: 3.5

I am attempting to display time in a label on my MainForm. The label should display a stopwatch control's elapsed time in hh:mm:ss format. My code is displaying "00:00:00". I have defined the hh, mm and ss as variables but I can't seem to figure out how to use them effectively.
vb
Public Sub RefreshTimeElapsed()
' Refreshes time elapsed display.
Dim hh As String = Me.MyStopWatch.Elapsed.TotalHours.ToString

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?

I'm taking values from Numeric Ups and Downs for Hours, Minutes and Seconds. The problem is that, for example, if the time for example is 9.15 am it will show as 9:15:0 What I want to do is format them so if any of the values(Hours, Minutes or seconds) is less than 10, it will add a 0 before the number so as the number shows as 09:15:00. What I tried is this but it does not work: [Code]

I am trying to convert CST to 3 different times zones 9.5 ---Afgan and 5----UTC. I Have got this to work 3 ways now But i need it in "HHmm" format with no : currently going from value to text to string is the only way i can get the look i want. I need to either Add +5 to the write string (assuming that will still stay in 24 format if that's done) or i need a solid way to convert to HHmm without the coloHeres what i got,
oonwH = Convert.ToDateTime(oonwHr.Value)
oonwM = Convert.ToDateTime(oonwmin.Value)
I KNOW these lines are useless just haven't taken them out yet

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.

I have a datetime field in a SQL Server 2005 table that has values like this:
2012-04-23 09:00:00.000
2012-04-23 14:00:00.000
The minutes, seconds, and microseconds are always zero. I need to display a "time slot" (basically, the time plus one hour) like this:
2012/04/23 09:00 AM - 10:00 AM
2012/04/23 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM

I have a question in relation to formatting text fro 24-hour time.
The format I require is always as follows 00:00
How can I make the ":" appear as soon as the second digit is entered as this is required to separate hours from minutes and also how can I force a 0 to appear for any numbers up to and including 9?
Examples being: 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09.
These zeros are required but may be forgotten by the user entering them into the textbox?

I have the following code, which generates insert queries
For Each f As String In Directory.GetFiles(d)
objSQLStringBuilder.Append("insert into table1 (full_path, file_name) values ('" & f.Replace("'", "''") & "', '" & f.Remove(0, Len(d) + 1).Replace("'", "''") & "');")
Next
However, the paths which it finds are formatted as follows
c:program filesmicrosoft officewinword.exe
I need to format the paths as follows
file:///c:/program%20files/microosoft%20office/winword.exe
How can I modify the above code to do this?

I'm having trouble getting a data stamp to format correctly in VB.NET I need a date stamp exactly like this:
December 10, 2008 at 1:27 PM In VB6, this works perfectly.
Code:
Format(Now, "MMMM d, yyyy at H:mm ampm")
I can get everything except the Timestamp in VB.NET.
Code:
Format(Now, "MMM, yyyy 'at' H:mm AMPM")
produces - December 10, 2008 at 13:13A12P12
I need 1:13 PM, not 13:13.I can't find anything to format the time to AM/PM vs. military time.I've tried String.Format with no luck either.

I have an app that deals with currency. For display purposes I use the nifty VB FormatCurrency function which will format based on the OS's region setting. So, if in France you might get 123,45 where in the US you would get 123.45. To perform calculation on these amounts I use CDec() to convert to decimal.
My problem is that when I convert the Decimal to a String using toString() it formats according to the currently set region. I need to be able to always convert the decimal into a String representation for the US, i.e. with decimal points. I thought I would be able to do something similar to this:
.toString("#0.00")

I am trying to format a date from a table that I'm getting so that I can concatenate it with another string.But I want the leading zero - I don't want 1/1/2009 - I want 01/01/2009.
I can't seem to find a formatting pattern that does this.

My form contains several NumericUpDown controls. These controls show different amount of decimal places. Later in my code I put the different NumericUpDown.Value's in a string array arrStr() like so:
arrStr(1) = NumericUpDown1.Value
arrStr(2) = NumericUpDown2.Value
arrStr(3) = NumericUpDown3.Value
Then I print the array with the File.WriteAllLines function to a text file.
If for example NumericUpDown1.Value = 1.00, NumericUpDown2.Value = 2.30 and NumericUpDown3.Value = 2.124 the file has the following values in it:
1
2.3
2.124
[Code].....
I have tried Format which works, but that formatting method is not convenient as the amount of decimal places is already set for each NumericUpDown. It would be annoying to do the work again, but now with Format.

I want to know in a program idea I am working on to use at my job I have several text boxes that are used to store decimal values to represent measurements (weights & lengths) and I was wondering is there a way that when program first run the text field is populated with a default value (eg. 0.00) or if the user deletes all text in the control and hits enter or tabs to another control it sets value to same default value

I am using standard String.Format method. It is using numeric objects.
Console.WriteLine("obj1 = {0} and obj2 = {1}", "obj1", "obj2");
I want to use named indexes.Like this
Console.WriteLine("obj1 = {o1} and obj2 = {o2}",
new { o1 = "obj1", o2 = "obj2"});
How I can use same last code?

I'm having some difficulty formatting some of my strings, I can't see what's wrong unfortunately. I have various numbers, e.g. 100.023, 13488.323, etc in a datagridview column that I would like to be formatted so it looks like this: $123,456
Here's what I've tried so far (that isn't working):
row.Cells(1).Value = Format(row.Cells(1).Value, "{0:D0}") 'I've also tried using {0:C0}
row.Cells(1).Value = row.Cells(1).Value.ToString("$#,#")
'This one (above) comes up with an error saying it can't put an "##" in an Integer column, something like that anyway.

Im trying to format the length of a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn based on the length of the longest string in the comboBox. Here is the code I currently have but it only formats the DataGridViewComboBoxColumn based on the users previous selection in the comboBox.
Is there a way to have the DataGridViewComboBoxColumn at the length of the longest string in the comboBox? Here is my code.
Private Sub comboTest_SelectionChangeCommitted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles comboTest.SelectionChangeCommitted
Dim senderComboBox As ComboBox = CType(sender, ComboBox)

I have a rich text box in my form, and formatting will be applied to the text.
I need it to save the text with its formatting as a string (to be entered into a database)
My problem is, my current code only takes the text unformatted, so when the form reloads, the text is plain

I need to take a string of any length & make it exactly 5 characters long by either truncating it or padding it or neither. So "abcdefgh" becomes "abcde", "abcde" stays "abcde" & "abc" becomes "abc " (2 spaces at the end).
I currently use this line of
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Left(myString, 5).PadRight(5, " "c)
it works, but it seems very hackish.

I have:
1 ComboBox(cboCultureInfoNumeric) with the required CultureInfo.
1 Textbox(txtNumeric)
1 Label(Label1)
When the user change the Culture info the decimal point or comma change in the textbox(txtNumeric) nicely.What i try is to change also the text in Label1 by the culture info.If the user change the CultureInfo to German the Label1.text = �German�If the user change the CultureInfo to Spanish the Label1.text = �Spanish� And so on�
What I have do is :
1 - Set the Form1 Localizable property to true.
2 - Set the form's Language property to "German (Germany)".
3 - Set the Label1 Text property to "German".
VB make the file -> MainForm.de-DE.resx with name: Label.Text and value: German
4 - Set the form's Language property to "Spanish (Spain)".
5 - Set the Label1 Text property to " Spanish ".
VB make the file -> resx
6 - Set the form's Language property to "French (France)".
7 - Set the Label1 Text property to "French".
VB make the file -> resx
8 - �The TextBox with the numeric value�s change when the user change the CulureInfo but not the Label1, why?It work perfect when I put �Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New CultureInfo("fr-FR")in the MainForm.designer.vb before InitializeComponent function and in the New function.But I want to use the ComboBox�

I've been working with an Infragistics Ultragrid and I'm looking for a helpful hint. I'm using a table from SQL Server 2008 to populate my grid. The table that I'm calling has a column that has been updated to be something like this. "Items" + char(9) + char(9) + "Cost" + char(13) + char(10). The "Items" section of the column is padded to be 50 charcters in length followed with the two tab characters, the cost then the new line characters. Ultimately this is what the results of a single row would look like. Notice how the items and the cost are lumped into a single cell.
