I am working on a business related program, so I need to know if system date is correct -synced- with remote server. How do you do that in vb .NET winforms?
P.S: In addition, is there any way to raise some event when system clock changed to prevent hacks? I don't want users to change local date after logging in their account.
I have a textbox where a user is supposed to enter a date. How can I check whether the entered date is in the correct date format?
Like this: 02/02/2008
not like this 022/22/-1
not like this 2009/02/02
not like this 02/Jun/2015
not like this 02/abc/2010
(I don't want to use DateTimePicker or MonthCalender).
EDIT 1 I tried it like this
Private Sub txtHireDate_Validated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtHireDate.Validated
Dim dateString As String = txtHireDate.Text
Dim formats As String = "MM/dd/yyyy"
[code]....
But its showing some errors?
How can i check the system date format? Tried with the code below, but when i change my system's date format to another date format to test the code, it's still showing the date format before changed!
System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern()

View 7 RepliesI'm working in visual studio 2005 and developing a windows form that has a datagridview on it.
One of the cells is a Calendar Column type (custom made). I pulled the code for it off the internet - it basically allows the user to select the date from a small calendar.
When the date is changed, it gets the correct value and it also saves into the database with the correct value.
The problem is that it doesn't load onto the grid with the correct value. In fact, no matter what date I enter in, it always displays it as 1 day earlier. e.g. If I saved it to the database as 4/19/2012, it displays it as 4/18/2012.
I verified that there's no other column in the query that retrieves the data for the grid that contains the value it's displaying.

View 1 RepliesI am pulling a date value from my database:

Then comparing these date values to the current date:

But for some reason its always returning the Else condition - even though the values in the database should make the query true. I'm guessing for some reason its not pulling the results as a date?
Was wondering how to make it so users can log into the program and this would be much easier since the program allready connects to a database to add a username and password table which i have,how can i get it so when i click a button the program will check with the username specified if its in the data base and check the password of the given username returning a yes value if its right and conuing or exiting if its wrong?

View 1 RepliesI am using drupal database in one of my application. Drupal profile saves date in following format:
a:3:{s:5:"month";s:1:"2";s:3:"day";s:2:"18";s:4:"year";s:4:"1995";}
I can read this with data reader but how to convert in a proper display like DD/MM/YYYY or YYYY/MM/DD
I have an SQL Database which has some end dates. I have used this little statement to make sure that the dates come out of the database in the right format
Execute("Set dateformat dmy")
And I use the below statement to enter the data in to a datatable and, with the above command, when I go to look at the data in datatable visualiser the dates seem to be in the correct dd/MM/yyyy format
"SELECT CID, expdate FROM Traineecerts WHERE iscurrent = 1"
Now when i try d1 = row("expdate") the format changes to the american MM/dd/yyyy format
Please note d1 refers to a variable with the type of date. Even if I format the dates after using d1 = format(row("expdate"),"dd/MM/yyyy") they don't change unless I make d1 a string. Is this normal?
I'm trying to write a program which compares the difference between any date in the past and the system date, showing how many days have elapsed since that date.This is what I've got so far:
Code:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub TextBox2_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
End Sub
[code]....
That's what it looks like so far. I was wondering how you can automate the top label so it automatically comes up with the date when the program is run.Plus, I need to know how to display the dates difference (how many days have elapsed between the system date and the user's chosen date) in the bottom label.
i got to do a program in VB.NET that copies a file from a pc to a usb device. I use the method System.IO.File.Copy(FileToCopy, NewCopy) in which i have to specify the destination path. The problem is that when i change pc the destination can change: for example in my pc i read my USB pendrive o G: and on my friend pc i read the usb pendrive on E:. How can i solve that? May i specify a general path to my USB giving it a name or anything similar?
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to compare the modify date of a file vs the current system date. I've found an MSDN article describing how to get the modify time of a file:
Dim infoReader As System.IO.FileInfo

MsgBox("File was last modified on " & infoReader.LastWriteTime)
This gest the Date and Time, but I want just the Date not the time.
