I have a table which contains the start date and end date, in my db. What I currently do is simply display both the fields in a ListView control. But instead of that approach, I'm thinking about displaying a 'clock' image and shading those areas with some color. This is similar to a Pie Chart. But the only difference is, I'm going to display a clock's image as background and the shading is based on the time.

View 1 RepliesSo I currently have the following:
2 timers
2 labels
1st label is "Clock" this pulls the time from the users current time zone/local time
2nd label is "UTCClock" Which would be UTC time
Now I have this for the first label: clock.Text = Format(TimeOfDay, "hh:mm:ss tt")
Which would give the users current time zone/local time. As for the UTC.. how would I add in for the UTC time from where the user is located at? I did some searches.. but couldnt find what I was looking for.. IM pretty sure its not as easy as getting the users current time zone/local time.. So im assuming that Theres a "bit more" code into getting UTC time..
I would like to add a picture on my form, e.g., a map of Europe, and i wanna be able to click on UK or France etc. Each country will be programmed in doing something else. What i wanna do for a start is to make my map active so as to can click on these different countries.
View 10 RepliesI'd like to write a small app to get the time from an "atomic" clock -- I believe the UTC time and then compare this against the system clock.
So far I've been able to get the system time details with the code below but just cannot figure out where to start on getting the atomic clock(s) time.
I did Google this for examples and have not found anything useful, I did find a list of atomic time servers @ the following URL and realise I have to connect to NIST Internet Time Service clock
Dim localDirect As Date = Date.Now
Dim utcDirect As Date = Date.UtcNow
Dim localFromUtc As Date = utcDirect.ToLocalTime()

I would like to make an alarm clock application, however I am having some problems in the brainstorming phase.
My main problem is the fact that I dont know how to ensure the application will be able to calculate the time and thus set off the alarm. For example, when the application is closed, how will the alarm go off?
Ideally I would like to make this app a system startup item, so if the system is rebooted, the application will automatically relaunch - but again, I dont know how to do that.
If the system is sleeping, how can I wake it up? These kind of problems.
Another dilema I have, is if this application is always running, how could I have it go to my taskbar hidden icon menu (the right section of the taskbar next to the time).

View 3 RepliesI have an ASP.NET application with a SQL Server back end. I am storing all my dates in UTC format and doing the appropriate conversions to the local time zone of the browser viewing it. One of the pages asks for a start date and end date (no times).
I am taking the start date and setting the time to 00:00:00 hours (midnight) and I'm taking the End time and adding a time of 23:59:59, so that the date range covers the whole day. Now what I'm trying to do is do a SQL query to do a search for records in this date range. The problem is, the data in SQL is in UTC time and the user is typing their dates and times in their local date and times. My quickest solution was to convert the date and time to UTC, then search the records. However, by doing this, I am to believe ASP.NET converts the given time and date to UTC based on the server time zone. How can I convert a date and time to UTC time based on the time zone of the user?

View 6 RepliesI need to add a clock to a web page. The clock needs to be synchronized with a server but I really don't want to have it constantly check the server as the page will be open 24/7 on several PCs. Is there some way to get the time from the server and then use the systems clock to keep it updated and check the server every 15 minutes or so to keep it synced?

View 3 RepliesI'm in need of a "global" type timer that will allow me to basically run a clock the entire time someone is on my site, no matter what pages they go to. I've played around with the timer available for forms but I didn't see a way to make it continue to run after someone left that page.The effect I'm attempting to create is for a timer to start whenever someone hits my site, then every X minutes an event will trigger. This event should happen no matter where they are on the site. I've read a couple articles on timers but to be honest I'm fairly new to VB and I didn't know if I really needed to learn about 'threading' etc, to get a timer to work.

I require the Login button on the User app to be enabled at a certain time during the day, and the Admin will specify the time. How do I go about achieving this? I have a database as wellDo I save the time in the Database that the Admin enters, and then retrieve the time from the database when the User app is running and compare the clock time on the User app to the time from the database (I will retrieve the time when the User app starts)
View 9 RepliesI'm a totally newb to VB and I want to do this. I want to do display system clock into a textbox. The trick is that I want it to be synchronized with the Windows XP clock. I want to have something like +/- 100 ms accuracy.
Each 'second' change will trigger an output pin to ground into the parallel port. This is very important that the 'second' change in the same time the Windows XP second change. Do not care about the parallel output thing, I'm nearly there. My main concern is the synchronisation with Windows clock.
In my code, I've added a counter that increment +1 at each 'second' change. So, when the 'n' value will reach a determined value, it will trigger another event.

I searched on the net and I found a thing about NIST time server.. Maybe this could be an otpion, but I have even no idea about how using it... I'm a total newb, but I'm ready to learn. So, please use simple language, no hard to understand acronym etc.
I have been Googling this for about a day now, and every post I find is too old and Visual Studio doesn't recognize some pieces of code that people have posted. I have a dynamically populated Listview. I would really like every other line to be shaded for readability purposes, and just can't figure it out. Everything I try to do messes with the Modal PopupExtender that I have inside of the Listview. It trys to shade the lines inside the PopUpBox too. This is one of the Listviews that I would like shaded.

View 11 RepliesSo I have this project where I have to convert a web browser control to a RTB and the xml/html to rtf database scripts, no real issue there until I did my proof of concept which showed the loss of formatting.
Searching all over for a good html to rtf converter showed little promise and most do a worse job then copy/paste.
Anyone have any links or code for converting a table's cell background to rtf?
TextBox1.Text = Environment.UserName + "_" + My.Computer.Clock.GmtTime.Year.ToString + "_" + My.Computer.Clock.GmtTime.Month.ToString + "_" + My.Computer.Clock.GmtTime.Day.ToString + "_" + My.Computer.Clock.GmtTime.Hour.ToString + "_" + My.Computer.Clock.GmtTime.Minute.ToString + "_" + My.Computer.Clock.GmtTime.Second.ToString
This produces, for instance, such text in the TextBox1:
MyUsername_2011_2_6_23_22_6
I would like it to displat double numbers for month, day, minute etc, to get something like that:
MyUsername_2011_02_06_23_22_06
How do I do it?
Im currently working my way through understanding direct3D with visual basic for windows mobile. So far I have managed to write a fairly decent engine that allows me to create and transform any number of 3D primitives and 2D sprites. However I cant seem to figure out how to get Direct3D to apply any sort of shading to my meshes. Regardless of what angle they are to the camera, or their position in 3D space, they remain a solid flat color on every single polygon of the mesh.
