VS 2008 - How To Do Some Changes In Regional Setting
Apr 7, 2010
Actually I am a basic user, but I like to utilize the sources around me to solve my problems and one of those sources my little knowledge about VB.Net. Today, I am forced to do some changes in the regional setting i.e. Format, Standard Digits & Native digits "Shot attached" many times a day for printing purpose through an ERP system. Therefore, I need to read the current setting for those options and two buttons (one to change them, the other to restore the previous setting).

Within Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options, there is a Formats tab, with a drop down of all possible language formats. I wish to retrieve this list using VB.NET. Could anyone point in the direction of which Windows API call to use?

example: inside regional date format setting i set "Short date format dd/MMM/yyyy" and inside vb.net program i set "strSQL = strSQL & ",'" & Date(Date.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy")) & "'" ----> working fine. if user changed the regional date format setting to other format like "mm/dd/yy" facing problem during saving record into sql table. error date conversion. It's possible to avoid using computer regional date format from vb.net? or have any other way...

Is it possible with VB .NET to make the program use specific regional settings? More precisely , I want to make my application always use the English regional settings (those defined from Control panel > Regional settings) in order to always use (and calculate) the decimal numbers by using the dot symbol ( . ) as decimal separator , regardless the settings on the current PC (in order to avoid forcing the user to change his Regional settings) ?

I have an app using UK default dates.When i deploy the app i noticed i get some date related errors when saving data (as some test PCs were setup with US regions). Setting the locale and other regional settings back to UK resolves the issue but wondering if there was a quick way of doing this?

I am developing an application that uses Sendkeys function to output data in another application such as Notepad. But if the user changes the regional settings some characters like "/" change according to the language. Can I retrieve and set the regional settings of another application such as Notepad ? Is there another way to do that ?

Using OLE and Jet, you may receive errors when saving system dates and times to databases in different regions.Consider what happens when saving dates and times returned using the Now() function in Canada or the US: the date string "#2010/02/03 08:59 AM#" will save fine. If using 24 hour time, the string "#2010/02/03 08:59#" will also save fine.
If you change your system region to Spanish (Peru) or Spanish (Mexico), the ante meridiem changes from "AM" to "a.m." (or "p.m."). The date string becomes: "#2010/02/03 08:59 a.m.#"Note that this will NOT save correctly to the database and throw a System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException. The workaround we use is: Public Function clean_date(ByVal strDate As String) As String Dim str_buffer As String

I'm running Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express on Windows 7, using a Regional Setting set to New Zealand.
When I enter a date in a NZ format (d/mm/yyyy), the IDE highlights the date and tooltip reports date constant not valid. But it is valid for NZ! Meanwhile, the IDE happily accepts dates in the US format.
I would have expected VB to look at my PCs regional settings and set this as the default format. What is wrong here? I have reinstalled the application, but still have the same problem.

This has been driving me batty for the last while. I have an application that is passing up data to a SQL server table. Part of the data is dates. Because of settings on the SQL server the update will not accept the MM/dd/yyyy format. I have been trying for quite some time to get around this.
For some more information. Changing the update method or the server regional settings is not an option and I don't want to change my regional settings as this may not reflect the production server when this goes live.
Here is what I have tried so far
Code:
Dim dateEnd As Date = Date.MinValue
Dim dateStart As Date = Date.MinValue
If IsDate(Me.txtPostEnd.Text) Then

It works fine if the day is 12 or below because it still thinks that is the month. Is there a way to force the code to recogize that I want to use dd/MM/yyyy format or even dd/MMM/yyyy format?
This has to be done at thhe vb code side as the update to the SQL server is completed via a custom framework so I can't customize the SQL code to insert the data using a CONVERT

I do not live in USA, and my program run specifically with my country's Regional and Language Option format. However, many Windows XP, Vista and 7 installed in my client computers automatically with English (United States) Regional and Language option. I want my program to automatically change the computer regional and language option to my country. However, I do not find anyway to do that (changing the computer regional and language option in runtime by the program), yet.

I've searched around but can't find a clear answer for this. From my winforms VB2010 app, I'd like to be able to detect the country of the user's PC at runtime. Specifically, all I really need to detect is whether the user is in Australia or Canada.Most things I've seen will say "have a look at System.Globalization.CultureInfo", but with no clear example. I also know that the old-school "GetLocaleInfo" API can be used for this as well. I do have some code using the latter, which detects Australia when LOCALE_ICOUNTRY returns a value of 61. However, that won't work for Canada, as it returns 1, which is the same as USA (I know that these are based on telephone country codes).

In our projects we use setting variables to store user setting for the applications. Moreover, with every latest version of the applications, we upgrade these variables to retain user settings.Normally, this works fine, but recently one of my end user reported an error i.e.Configuration System failed to initialize". The error is related to user.config file. Therefore we requested the user to send us his file.After received the folder, we noticed that it contains 3 files (3begfjb.newcfg,3begfjb.tmp and user. config). 3begfjb.tmp is an empty file, while 3begfjb.newcfg and user.config are identical files. We tried to open these files but the data in user.config isn't proper xml rather its unreadable formatted file.Do any you guys had experienced this sort of issue or any ideas how and what may have created these files and corrupted user.config file.

Is it possible to change/set my Internet Explorer proxy setting in VB.NET application? For example, change the proxy server IP.
If so, do I call and add the MS Web Browser into my toolbox, and add the object on my form to do it, or I'm totally wrong, there are something else I should take care of.

Ok, I'm trying to set a value to each item in my combobox, but I don't know how. Lets say I have ComboBox1 that contains the letter A-Z, 26 items, I would want to set each letter a specific number, then use that number for something else. Like, if I set the letter A to equal the number 4, and the user has chosen A in the combo, I could do something like make a Msgbox say that value(4). Does that make sense?

I'm trying to make a quiz application with Visual Basic at the moment. I want to write a routine that asks five questions to which the answer must be either Yes or No. It must add up the number of Nos and if the number of Ns is less than two then print out �pessimist�, otherwise print out �optimist�.I'm only at the very beginning stage of the program, I've created the design of it but I'm not too sure whether the code concept for the radio buttons is right. How can I expand on this?

I got a button that needs to open a word file, and because the file is on a network it freezes for the first time you press it. If I would put the file in the destination of the Bin next to the exe files how would I define the location to it. If the bin folder would get moved to another location, the path will differ.So how would I be able to create a bit flexible path wherever the application goes?
