I have a variable called hour that will be used to display different text in a textbox based on what time it is. Basically, if the time falls between 12am and 3am, hour = 0, if the time is between 3am and 6am, the hour is 1, etc, breaking the day into 8 'hour's. How would I do this in vb?
View 7 RepliesI wrote a VB.NET Windows Service, which works fine. I have only one issue with it. I want the service to execute on the half hour and top of the hour marks (e.g. 9:00, 9:30, 10:00, 10:30, 11:00, etc etc etc). I am using the following code:
Protected Overrides Sub OnStart(ByVal args() As String)
' Add code here to start your service. This method should set things
' in motion so your service can do its work.
[CODE]...
This code works, however, if the service starts at, say, 10:15, then it executes at 10:15, 10:45, 11:15, 11:45. How do I make it so it always executes on the 30 minute and top of the hour marks?
So let's say I have 1400, I want to convert it into 2:00PM I tried the following:Dim convertedTime As String = DateTime.ParseExact(theTime,"HHmm", Nothing)
And it would give me this: 6/12/2012 02:00:00 PM
I do not want the date part, neither do I need the seconds. All I need is 2:00PM
I have a situation in which I want to get the hour component of a DateTime, but I want the 12-hour value that would go with an AM/PM. The only way I could find to do this was to use a date format string. Since h is the format character used for this, I figured I would use the method:
.ToString("h")
However, this would give me an error. But when I used it with a space and trimmed it:
.ToString("h ").Trim()
It would work fine. Why am I not allowed to use "h" as a format string?

I am creating a program that takes into account pay from a job. I will try to describe the problem I am having using some psuedo code - so dont take syntax too seriously.
I created a structure that has some of the following values:
Name as String
Amount as Double
FrequencyType as MyEnumerator
MyEnumerator looks like this:
EveryTwoWeeks = 1
TwiceAMonth = 2
Weekly = 3
Now my problem is how do I add the date ranges into my structure?If your pay is weekly or twice a week, then I just need a single date because all other paydays should increment in 1 or 2 week blocks. But if the pay is twice a month I need two dates. It seems like there has got to be a better way then just having two dates in my structure and knowing that you just need the 2nd date if the FrequencyType is = 2 (TwiceAMonth).I was thinking that instead of a Structure I should use a class and then I could create a function that returns the date or dates depending on the enumeration type that you pass into it.What would be the "correct" way of doing this? I think I need a type of enumerator that allows for more then just integer type values.

I am developing a billing application to help out the billing lady who has been doing our billing by hand. I am essentially done�. Except for one class of customer I can�t wrap my head around. Nuts and Bolts:
1.Data comes from a table that shows Storage id, customer id, Billing Start date, Billing end date.
2.I am kicking the data back out to a table and I�ll build her a nice little crystal she can run.
Problem:We rent storage space. If multiple customers use the same storage then they will split the cost of the daily fee. If there is 3 customers they each pay a third etc. This seems simple but If Customer 1 starts on 1/1/12 and ends 1/10/12 she pays 10 days. If Customer 2 comes in 1/3/12-1/9/12 they will split 7 days. If Customer 3 comes in only on 1/9/12 then they will all pay a third on that day. Now imagine this across 600+ storage units and 1000+ customers and each customer using multiple storage at any given time.
My biggest issue is I don�t know how to express how we do that calculation by hand programmatically. By hand process and how I figure I am eating the elephant: Find every Customer that has used the Space in the billing period -Determine the unique storage numbers that were used during the billing cycle kick the results to a storage table on an access database. I am using a table because I figured it would be less of burden for the application then a list or array.
Determine where there is overlap - Use �FOR� to cycle through the orginal data table using the unigue. Here is where I am stuck. How do I compare the dates in a way to determine which customer is using it when compared to the others. Obviously i can determine the difference in dates between the start and end. It is getting the applicaiton to recognize the dates are with in the other dates. here is kind of what I was thinking obviosly this doesn't work I am just using the format so don't crush me too bad because I code like a caveman.
Dim CustomerDifference as time span
Dim UniqueStorage as Integer
Dim Customer as string

I am using Excel interop in my VB.NET program. My problem is that I can't seem to figure out how to write to Excel *and* define the Range using numbers.Alright, so I have objects being created depending on the file that the user opens. So there could be 100 objects or there could be none. Now each object has an array of values, and these arrays contain nearly 15000 elements. So here is what I want to do but I can't figure out how to escape using the LetterNumber:LetterNumber combination.
For every object I want a new column to be occupied and for every element in the objects array I want the row to be occupied. I figured the easiest way to do this was using a for loop but, again, I can't use numbers.
For columns = 0 to NumberOfObjects
For rows = 0 to NumberInArray
Cell(0,0).Value = myObjectsCollection(column).Array(rows)
Next

What's up guys. Simple question today. How do you specify ranges of values for location? Basically i'm trying to write an if statement that will execute if a location matches a range of values, here is th snippet of my code im having trouble with:

I am trying to make a program, where a user will input 'ranges' in a richtextbox, and then enter a value, which will be stored/categorized (in an array maybe) according to the 'range'.What I exactly mean is:
User specifies ranges by inputting this line in the richtextbox: <,10,20,30,> First range = < to 10 (no minimum boundary up to 10), second range = 10 to 20 , 3rd = 20 to 30 , 4th = 30 to > (30 to no maximum boundary) Then a user enters a number. For example "-1" would fall in the "< to 10" category, "23" in the "20 to 30" category, "125" in the "30 to >" category. I know there are other ways to do this, but I would like to see a solution (or some guidance) based on these requirements.

how to convert string to datetime and calculate date

I need to calculate the location of intersections between multiple date ranges, and the number of overlapping intersections. Then I need to show which date/time ranges overlap each of those intersecting sections. It is slightly more complicated than that so I'll do my best to explain by providing an example.

I have to compare two columns in two different Excel sheets and delete the duplicates. I have come up with several strategies that work, but I am searching for the most efficient way to do this. At first, I was sorting the columns and looping through them in the manner of a sequential update and deleting when the cell values were equal. But I discovered here an article by Mike Rosenblum that explained that it is much more efficient to stick the columns into an array and iterate them from there. So I was able to do that. There was a complication in that once I had deleted a row, then the array and the spreadsheet were out of sync. So I had to compensate by incrementing a variable each time a row was deleted, and subtracting this variable from the array index to calculate the row to be deleted in the spreadsheet.
So now I am wondering whether there is a better strategy. I thought that if I could merely hide the rows to be deleted and then find a way to delete all hidden rows at once after the loop was over, then this would eliminate the problem of the array and the spreadsheet getting out of sync and would make the code easier to understand. I thought of putting the row numbers of the duplicates into another array and deleting the rows after the comparing loop. But this creates the same problem of having to compensate the row numbers in the array.
