Check The Timestamp Of A File (vb 2003)?
Jul 18, 2011
I have to load a data-file (articledata.txt) which is then being used into different other excels which filter out the needed data. After X hours the data-file will be updated, so now I'd like to inform the user that newer data is available (so they can refresh the excels).
I would think I can use the time-stamp of the file when I load it, save it, and then compare it (every X time?) with the time-stamp of the data-file to see whether it has been updated, but I have no idea how to get the timestamp out of the file.

I am trying to connect ftp from my vb application code is
Quote:
Try
Dim ftpReq As FtpWebRequest = WebRequest.Create("*****")
ftpReq.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectoryDetails
ftpReq.Credentials = New NetworkCredential("***", "****")
[Code]...
My first issue is that ListDirectoryDetails appears to list the modified date/time instead of the create date/time. My second issue is that the date/time field appears to be limited in size to the point it lists the year or time but not both. I can live without the year but I must have time.
Is there anything I can do to guarantee I always get the time and ensure it is returning the create/date time instead of the modified date/time? If not, is there another way to get this information?
Examples:
-r--w--r-- 1 root public 1602 Mar 11 13:31 file1.txt
-r--r--w-- 1 root public 2514276 Nov 05 2008 file2.txt

I am using the following code to copy a file:System.IO.File.Copy(strOldFile, strNewFile)
But the trouble is that the newly-created file inherits the old file's timestamp. Is there a way to force the timestamp to update?

When I click on the Save button in the interface it executes the SaveData() steps. But I am being told that I need to update the date stamp on the Access file. How I would make this change?
Private Sub ProblemTableBindingNavigatorSaveItem_Click
(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e AsSystem.EventArgs)
Handles ProblemTableBindingNavigatorSaveItem.Click
SaveData()
End Sub
Private Sub SaveData()

I'm using this script to add text to a variety of .txt's on the fly: Const ForAppending = 8
[Code]...
So I'm sending text with the program launchy this .vbs (addln.vbs) - ("$$" c:ideas.txt) is what the argument is if I want to send to ideas.txt for example All I want to do is make it so I get the date and time right before whatever text I send to this text file. I don't think this would be too complicated.

I need to open an excel file from vb.net and then search it for specific data. I then need to take those data and insert them into text boxes on a form that i have created. This is all controlled by a button click. I already have some code that will open a file dialog box and let me navigate to the correct file, but I am having trouble with the search portion. I have tried the Find function but I am not sure of the proper syntax. I am using Visual Studio 2008 and Excel 2003.

I'm getting the timestamp value of an ftp file like this:
ftpRequest.Method = System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.GetDateTimestamp
Through:
ftpResponse.StatusDescription
It returns:
213 20120512102159
I'm pretty sure 213 is the ftp status code, and then 20120512102159 would be 2012, 05(may), 12(12th), then probably HH MM SS... But this doesn't match my local system, so possibly the FTP server's local time?
Anyhow... This value is a string, am I missing some obvious value of just the date? Otherwise, how do I get this string as a datetime value?

In .Net/VB.Net, what is the best way to embed a timestamp (simple text like "2011/Jan/13 13:44") into a bitmap image?
I am loading images from a database, and they come without a timestamp embedded directly in the bitmap. What I am trying to do is add a timestamp to the image when I save it.

I'm having trouble getting a data stamp to format correctly in VB.NET I need a date stamp exactly like this:
December 10, 2008 at 1:27 PM In VB6, this works perfectly.
Code:
Format(Now, "MMMM d, yyyy at H:mm ampm")
I can get everything except the Timestamp in VB.NET.
Code:
Format(Now, "MMM, yyyy 'at' H:mm AMPM")
produces - December 10, 2008 at 13:13A12P12
I need 1:13 PM, not 13:13.I can't find anything to format the time to AM/PM vs. military time.I've tried String.Format with no luck either.

I am writing an application which downloads files from an extenal website and saves them to disk. I am able to achieve this by using the System.Net.WebClient method as follows:Dim web As New System .Net. WebClientweb.DownloadFile(strURL, strFileName)I now need to direct the download through a proxy server. I have seen various posts which use the HttpWebRequest method but have not been able to get them to work.
Does anyone have some sample code to download a file through a proxy server using VB.Net and .Net 1.1?

I need to begin working with milliseconds in .Net 3.0. The data will be returned from an Oracle Database and if I understand correctly Oracle can only store dates that use milliseconds as a TimeStamp. It does appears that the Date type in .Net can handle milliseconds but when I have tried to retrieve Timestamps from Oracle stored procedures in the past I ran into a nasty error. Can .Net handle the Oracle timestamp data type or do I need to bring it back as a VarChar and cast it to a date type?

I have a directory that I need to search. The search will look for all files inside that directory and all the subdirectories. The filenames will output on a listbox. The problem is when I run the search, it returns all the filenames plus the full path.[URL]..I only want to show the filename and if possible, the file creation date.
Listbox output should be:
Filename1.doc File created on 2007-10-02
Filename2.pdf File created on 2007-10-15
Filename3.xls File created on 2007-10-17

My boss wants a time stamp on items as they are entered, so far I can pull the current DateTime from the system. Problem is when it does this it has a # at either end for instance:
Dim dtNow As System.DateTime = System.DateTime.Now
When I put a break on this dtNow is #7/13/2009 10:48:46 PM#
Our back end is SQL and I have added a column of TimeStarted and I want this data to be input here, issue is SQL does not like the # symbols, how do i Trim these things off so that it will take the DateTime. I put the code in the form load event
Dim dtNow As System.DateTime = System.DateTime.Now
GetDataTable("Update AuditProducts Set TimeStart = '" & dtnow & "' where ID = '" & txtID.ToString & "'")
txtID is a hidden textbox used to pull the ID of the specific item that was just created. I went directly to the SQL server and placed this query without the # on the date time and it went in no probs.

I'm programming a small windows app that allows the user to fill out some fields and then creates and runs a batch file based on their entries. The program works, but it doesn't.The program creates the batch file just fine but when it tries to run the batch file, it gets errors in the cmd window saying it cannot find the scripts the batch file is trying to call. What's confusing me is that if I take the batch file the program created and run it myself, it works just fine so I know it is not the batch that is the problem. My best guess is that there is some security setting for vs.net that I've overlooked but I am only an "every once in a while" programmer so I really don't know where to look. Additionally after running the batch, the program is supposed to delete the batch file but that fails as well with the message that it cannot find the batch file, the same batch file that it had just created and run.

I've been developing a vb.net client that connects to a Webservice using SOAP. This Webservice needs the SOAP message to be signed and have a timestamp.To this point all is possible, using WSE 2.0 SP3 I've able to sign the message and include the Security tag into the SOAP Header and the timestamp tag is included too, as you can see in this sample:
This is what I send
<soap:Header>
<wsa:Action>http://www.openuri.org/procesa</wsa:Action>
<wsa:MessageID>
