I'm trying to save a files save date, modify that file and then restore the file back to it's original date. I can't get it to work, I've tried it several ways and cannot get it to work.
My code so far is
origdate = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFileInfo("inspection").L astWriteTime.ToShortDateString()
' changing file content here
System.IO.File.SetLastAccessTime("inspection", origdate)
I'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
infoReader = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFileInfo("C: estfile.txt")
MsgBox("File was last modified on " & infoReader.LastWriteTime)
This gest the Date and Time, but I want just the Date not the time.
I created a background thread that constantly scans a specified folder for any .xls files that are created or modified. These files come from a vba macro in outlook that will automatically save the attachments of the mails in the this folder. This will update the modified date/time, or at least it seems to.
For Each fi In aryFi
fidate = System.IO.File.GetLastWriteTime(path & fi.ToString)
fidate1 = System.IO.File.GetCreationTime(path & fi.ToString)
[code]....
Everytime I check to the code, the fidate and fidate1 variables are indeed the correct dates/times of the file it's currently checking. It almost never gets inside the elseif block at runtime though.
I have found many pages referring to having the date be part of a txt file being created, but not like the way I need. Having said that, this is what I've got.. [code] I read a page on working with txt files and learned what I could from it. It said to use the method in the beginning of my code for creating the file. It works great, but I would like to have a new file name everday, hence the date being integrated. So even if program was running, when midnight hits, a new txt file is created and new entries are written to that file. But I can't even get the date to be put in there. Everytime I try to make this work by using methods I read about in other pages, I get a syntax error, or a warning saying an end of statement is expected. I'm not sure those methods are compatible with what I've already got going.I was actually trying to store these values in a database, and I got real close I think, but I couldn't get any help to fix my problem so I'm trying to write to daily txt files instead. url....
View 6 RepliesI have two textbox in my application.

May I know how can I compare that Textbox1 and Textbox2 text is within same month and same year?
I need to compare the date that is entered with today's date minus some number of work days.
I used dateinterval.day, but that is the actual day, not the work day. i don't see a "simple" way to get work days.
For example, my number is 3, so i want 3 work days (M-F) not 3 days.
how can I create following thing with Visual basic?I would like my excel to check the date value in a cell and compare it to current date and if the value in the cell is older than 2 months compared to current date it would change the cell's colour.

View 3 RepliesWhat is the easiest way to automatically fill a datetime column in an SQL data table with the date the row was created? Using SQL Server 2005 if that matters.
EDIT: I've tried using GETDATE() for default and that works for an INSERT Query but not when the TableAdapter adds the row.
I'm trying to pull the creation date of all the files (1000+) in a folder on a local server to list in an excel file. I've been trying to use FileSystemInfo for this, but it doesn't seem to work to get the creation date of MULTIPLE files because it doesn't allow me to use wildcard characters to read all (not even sure if that's what I'll need to do).
View 1 RepliesI would like to implement into my program a version query of the executable and I figured the easiest way would be having a check on the date of the executable.

View 10 RepliesI've written a loading program that writes text files to our database. The text files are dumped by another system every 2 hours onto on a shared network drive at my work. Here's the problem though - the files don't have a date/time stamp within them. I've been getting the date for each file from the creation date. That works okay, but when I've written loading programs in the past, I like to move the loaded files into a folder called "Loaded Files". That way, I can quickly see visually how many files I've loaded vs how many have not be loaded.
The problem this time, is that if I were to move the file into another folder, the creation date changes...a lesson I learned when I copied all of the files into a directory on my C: for testing. They all had the same date/time stamp!My question is, what's the best way to handle this? I don't want to move the files after loading them if it alters their creation date. I mean, what if I have to go back and load one for some reason, the date will be lost forever. I also don't want to write something into the software that has to check a file each time before loading it to the database.

I need some help in the creation of a program to generate a security code based on the current date. I need to create something that first multiplies the MMDDYY (ie X=MM * DD * YY) then also adds the MMDDYY then finds the remainder and then multiplies but a specified number. I would like to create a small program that sits in the system tray with this code displayed. The code will always need to be 6 characters, so I might need to pad it with zeros. It has been years since I took basic VB, and I am really rusty.

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

View 1 RepliesMy collegeue and I have been searching on the net a hell of a lot for a problem he is facing and we so far have been unable to find a resolution.He has an Access Database where one of the columns is of Date format. This date is in UK style (as defined by the Operatins System)
In his application there is a datetime picker which the user picks from he then wants to select * from the access database where the dates match but because the DateTime Picker is giving a US Format date (i.e MM/dd/yyyy) and in the database its UK (i.e: dd/MM/yyyy) its not finding a match and returning no records.

My requirement is The currentdate that is Today's date should be compared with the values of Fromdate and ToDate.First it should be check whether Schedule value is Weekly or Monthly or Yearly.If it is weekly than it should check the record in between fromDate to ToDate with a increment of one week.That means it should first check the first value of fromDate than add 7 days to the value and then again check from fromDate and this should continue till it reaches Todate.
