How can we handle the case where one date is blank in DateDiff method? Example:
DateDiff(DateInterval.Day, CType(txt61_2.Text, Date), CType(txt21_2.Text, Date))
In above statement fields txt61_2.Textor txt21_2.Text may be empty then take it has 0
I'm trying to get an If statement to check is the date picked from a datetimepicker is at least 3 days prior to the current date, I can get it to calculate the difference however if I chose a date that 4 days prior to the current date (i.e the result being -4), the else statement doesnt fire.is this something to do with the result being a negative value? I did try to assign the DateDiff result to a variable defined as a short and then used this variable in the If statement, but still get the same issue. Option Strict isn't showing any issues.

I found very wiered behaviour for DateDiff. or any other kind to date difference methods avalibale when Date has AM/PM specified in it.

I need to return the exact difference between two dates in the form of a string. If the dates are 01-FEB-2012 and 01-FEB-2014, the function should return "2 years" If the dates are 01-FEB-2012 and 01-MAR-2014, the function should return "25 months". If the difference is not in exact years or months, it should return the difference in days. I do not want to use DateDiff from the Visual Basic namespace so the code is portable to C#.
View 1 RepliesI want to make a little program that will count down the hours to a specific date. I.E. "Hours until: ##/##/##"
Like they do for new year and other big events in the world or whatever but I'm having big problems. I don't know how to use datediff to compare the difference in hours from 1 date to the next.
I have a few date fields on a form. no matter what i've tried in the properties, the form still loads and there is a default date in there, how do you get rid of this?
View 5 RepliesSQL Table Column Data Type is Date; NULLS allowed,Input to MaskedTextBox set up as: ##->&<&<&-## so typical input is 01-Jan-10, etc. When the MaskedTextBox is filled and column populated, the data in the SQL table uses the format 2010-01-01
The form does not like a blank MaskedTextBox; therefore, when filled - no problem. When left empty, it has a problem. So I wrote this code to populate the column regardless, and will filter out the 2001-01-01 entries in associated reports using Report Viewer. This is less than ideal, so I would like to know if there is a way to make the column as NULL instead of "dummy date" of 2001-01-01?

I'm updating an old VB net application and trying to refactor some of the logic as I go. The app looks for data from a single date across a few tables and writes that view to a file.
Writing the query in SQL I'd get the equivalent of
SELECT * FROM table
WHERE CAST(FLOOR(CAST(table.date AS float))AS datetime) = '15-Jul-2010'
Ideally I'd use
SELECT * FROM table WHERE date=@input
and add a date object as a parameter to a System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand instance
Are those two comparable? Will I get the results I expect?
I'm using the ErrorProvider in VB.Net (2005) which is associated with a BindingSource that is bound to a custom object that I have created. This custom object contains a date field that has a "Date" data type that. I am using a "TextBox" to bind the date field in my form. My issue is, whenever the TextBox loses focus and is blank, "String not recognized as a valid DateTime" is displayed by the ErrorProvider and the focus can't be changed to any other control on the Form. It's good that the ErrorProvider validates entries on Date fields by default (I didn't set up my custom object to display this particular error for the date), but it should allow blank values. I want the user to be able to have a blank date with no error message displayed. How can this be done using a Date field bound to a TextBox?
View 2 RepliesI have a field called PODate & TextBox txtPODate.text. It saves/updates fine when the txtPODate is filled. But when the txtPODate is blank, it throws an error. The problem is that I can't enter date for each record unless I got Purchase requisition converted into Purchase Order. Once it is converted to PO, I need to enter the date to update that filed. So, how can I make my program to accept blank date field.
View 6 RepliesI have a date field bound to a textbox. If I make any changes to the textbox, I get "stuck" in the field unless I put a valid date value.

Using VB2008, Access
I have 2 fields defined as date/time (short date).
I need to store dates fields which may at times be blank (null), how do I go about that?
I tried using:date.minvalue and that stores the value of 12/30/1899. I would like the field to be blank until the user enters a valid date.
How can I get this to happen? I googled around and it seems setting the CUSTOM FORMAT to " " when the field is null will work but not for a BOUND datetimepicker.

So, i went and set it to some date in the past.

what would be the proper way to handle the default value for an optional Date?
Ok the problem is with this Calc.DateLongToDateShort(tempxmlnodelist(j).Item(" _date").InnerText) < Date.Now Then If the innertext is a correct date, then the equation suceeds, however when the innerText is blank, which sometimes it will be, it throws exception cannot convert "" to Date. Now this makes sense of course. I am wondering if there is a "simple" way to avoid this error, without needing to add lines such as:

I'm trying to do a Datediff in VB.Net thats confusing me. Basically I'm trying to do the following. If DateDiff("D", Today(), rsData("Start")) > 0 Then This is working fine when comparing the value from SQL with todays date. I however need to convert this to check the current month and if it matches then return whatever I'm trying to show below.
[Code]...
If DateDiff(DateInterval.Day, moDoBooking.m_CurrentDay, moDoBooking.m_BaseDay) _
> DateDiff(DateInterval.Day, DateAdd(DateInterval.Day, _
Convert.ToDouble(moDoBooking.oBooking.oFacility.ADAYS), moDoBooking.m_BaseDay), _
moDoBooking.m_BaseDay) Then
This condition won't satisfy with these values:
moDobooking.m_CurrentDay = 2/3/2011
moDobooking.m_BaseDay = 22/02/2011
moDoBooking.oBooking.oFacility.ADAYS = 1

I`m migrating access database to vb.net. I have employee database with a few DateTimePickers, textboxes, and comboboxes
In access I have formulas in textbox's control source like this, and it works:
txtDayCalculation=DateDiff("d",txtDateofHire, txtManualDate)txtYear=Int(txtDayCalculation/365)txtMonth=Int((txtDayCalculation-(txtYear*365))/30) txtDay=((txtDayCalculation-txtYear*365))-(txtMonth*30).
So, I have trying to do also in vb.net, but NOT successfull. Maybe my aproach to write a code is wrong. Anyway, I have write like this:
me.txtDayCalculation.text = DateDiff("d",txtDateOfHireDateTimePicker, txtManualDateDateTimePicker)me.txtDayCalculation.text = DateDiff("d",txtDateOfHireDateTimePicker, txtManualDateDateTimePicker)
