I'm tried creating an analog clock and I realized I was terrible at trig and gave up. So instead I'm just creating a digital clock. I'm having problems getting the alarm to go off. Lemme explain my layout, I have 3 comboboxes. 1 is for the hour, 1 is for the minute and 1 is for am/pm.

View 3 RepliesI am a c#/asp.net developer and I am having to work on a VB/asp.net. I have two variables
Dim originalDate as DateTime?
Dim newDate as DateTime?
Both nullable datetimes, originalDate is a nullable date I am getting from the database and newDate time is set in code, I need to compare them, they can either both have dates, neither have dates or one have and one not.
I have a bit of code as follows:
if origEndDate = origEndDate then
When both origEndDate and origEndDate are "nothing" this statement is false (well when I run it in the watch window it comes back as nothing)!I don't understand why this is the case because I was under the impression doing an "=" compares the two values and as they are the same surely it should be true? What syntax should I be using as in C# I can do the above as so:
if (origEndDate == origEndDate) { }
and it will come back as true.
I'm working on a automated content updating script. When a new update is entered I insert into a database table, and cache, the time of the update.
Dim setT As DateTime = DateTime.Now

'databse code here
Dim myData As String = CType(Cache("ltu"), String)
' if it's not there, add it
If myData Is Nothing Then
Cache("ltu") = setT
Else
Cache.Remove("ltu")
Cache("ltu") = setT
End If
Actually I have datetime value stored in the database. What I am taking from the textbox is a time value. I want to extract those results from the database which are between the given time value....To be more concise, my application is a booking system for a sports club and provides an option to view alreaady made bookings.. Here i offer two options either to view all bookings for a specific game or to filter bookings. In filter bookings one option is to filter through date and time...Date option is running okay but problem lies in time part...I provide two times but unable to view bookings between them...
My code is:
Dim prmtimefrom As New SqlParameter("@booking_time", SqlDbType.DateTime)
prmtimefrom.Value = TextBox3.Text
Dim prmtimeto As New SqlParameter("@booking_tim", SqlDbType.DateTime)

View 3 RepliesI have a web app that sets a var setT to DateTime.Now. This var is used to set a "lastUpdate" field in a database and Cache("ltu"). This value is also added to a cookie. the problem I'm having is that comparing the cookie value and the cahed value show that the cookie value is earlier than the cached value, eventhough it is the same value that cam from the setT var.I'm assuming that the fractional seconds are being set to 0000's in the cookie by some means which is the only explaination I can come up with.Now, Is there some way I can set the origianal setT DateTime.now value to not have fractional seconds, or zero fractional seconds?Do you think I'm going about this correctly?
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a Website in Web Developer 2010 where the content of a text box is checked against a list of values to find a match. There must be an exact match for the user to be allowed to proceed to the next step of the wizard.
Is there a shorter method to do this using the VB 'If' statement, other than specifying each condition individually?
I've tried something similar to the following, but for the amount of values it would be more practical if there was a shorter method.
If TextBox1.Text = "User1" Then
Label1.Text = "Ok, That username is valid. Click NEXT to continue"

I have five listboxes that are populated from five different datasources basically I have connected to an MS Access database and I am running SQL queries effectively so the five listboxes are populated via datatables for example dtInterests, dtHobbies, dtMovies, DtTV and dtMusic my question is how would I compare the values that are being stored in each listbox I want the application to check each of the five listboxes and if the value is the same (in my case the valuemember is the customer id) then store the result somewhere (in a textbox)

I have a form where the user is to enter the beginning odometer value and ending odometer value. I have the code correct to check and see if there is a numerical value entered into to each text box. When the user enters the ending odometer value and that value is less than the beginning odometer value I want an error provider to stop the user from tabbing to the next field and let the user know that the ending odometer value cannot be less than the beginning odometer value.how to set this up. I have some code in there that doesn't seem to be doing the job for me.

I have a theory that the variable for the beginning odometer value is working in the ending odometer value block of code. Not really sure about that though.
I have 10 values to compare against each other for duplicates and would like a recommendation to do this most efficiently. The values are associated with the NumericUpDown control. I'm using VS and VB 2010.
View 3 RepliesI have a gridview(editable).
It may have more than 1 row with columns startdate and enddate.
StartDate EndDate
4/4/09 6/6/09 (valid-existing row)
1/2/09 3/3/09 (valid-existing row)
7/7/09 9/9/09 (valid- edited row)
3/3/09 6/6/09 (Invalid - edited row )
When you see the above table/gridview, you will know what I want to validate.
I should be checking whether there is any row having start-end dates lying within the existing date range, if so I should invalidate them.
I shd have only distinct date range in my rows.
How do I do that.
May be Useful note: I will be able to check which column name I tried editing in that row.
Do any of you have some ideas how to create a logic to accomodate my validation issue in my webbased gridview control ?

I've tried different approaches to query a simple xml and compare one of it's values but none of them worked well.
Consider the following XML structure:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
- <Shops>
- <Shop>
<text>Northampton</text>
<value>NN</value>
<currentdate>050809</currentdate>
<labelcounter>1</labelcounter>
[Code] .....
I have the shop name in a drop down list which is ShopsDDL and it's set to autopostback. What I want to achieve is:
On postback, check for a xml node where node's text = shopDDL shopname
And retrieve also this node's currentdate and label counter.
Rhen, if the node currentday = today then increment labelcounter by 1
Else set labelcounter = 1 and currentday= today
My problem is the XML query, I can do all the logic as soon as I manage to retrieve data from the XML.
I am making a app that reads options of a ini
dim config as new iniconfigsource("patch.ini")
dim test as string = config.configs("news").getstring("test")

I want my script to compare the values of the dropdown with the string readed from the ini
then uses it as selected value (the so called standard value) the one uc without clicking on the arrow if the none of the values match with the string value of the ini then it executes
dropdown1.selectedindex = 0
I accept both C# and VB.NET suggestion, even though I'm writing an app in VB.NET I have two lists of intergers

how to compare two list boxes and remove identical values or add them to a 3rd list box, but for some reason it's not working when I retrieve the data from a mySQL database using ADODB, here's my work cut down by a fair bit for it to be easy to understand.
For k As Integer = lstFriends.Items.Count - 1 To 0 Step -1
If lstDBFriends.Items.Contains(lstFriends.Items(k)) Then
lstFriends.Items.RemoveAt(k)

I've tried everything from changing the data type on the mySQL database to storing the retrieved data from the database to String declaration and it simply wont compare the two listboxes
I have a query in Access 07 that identifies the following fields: ContractID, status, start date and end date. For each contract, I've been able to search a network share and upload its corresponding file; however I need to skip the import and write a record to a table for contracts with the same start and end date. I've included a placeholder (in bold below), but how do I make the date comparison work? Do I need to create a multi-dimensional array for that or can it be done with the code I have?

I'm working on a project that's going to be deployed via .NET on Windows and via Mono on Linux; the same data needs to be exchangeable between the platforms, including where platform A is Little-Endian and platform B is Big-Endian.Where text is concerned, I know ASCII/Unicode is natively Big-Endian, so there's no problem with that.Where numbers are concerned, I know that byte arrays have to be reversed on Big-Endian platforms to store the data in Little-Endian format.But what exactly is the 64 bit value output from System. Date Time.ToBinary?Is this a number representing the number of seconds elapsed since Jan 1 1970, is this some kind of serialized attribute that outputs some DotNET-recognizable value, or what?Does this byte array need to be handled differently in Big and Little Endian environments?It never hurts to try. In a worst case scenario, you'll learn from it.

View 3 RepliesI currently receive spreadsheets from clients which include several date fields. Since these are coming from many different sources, the date formats can vary widely (although they will all be US format). It could be "April 19, 2010", "4/19/2010", "2010-04-19", etc. I would very much like to use the DateTime.Parse function rather than having to write my own parsing function--I don't want to have to write out every possible combination of date strings.
The problem is, the DateTime.Parse function includes default values if all values are not supplied. So if the field comes in as "03/2009", since no day was specified, the function will return a datetime equivalent to "3/19/2009" (today's day along with the values given). I cannot use this. If a client provides a date that is incomplete, my program must produce an error, not fill in default values for them. Is there a way to tell DateTime.Parse not to use default values? Or perhaps there's another function that can parse multiple string formats into DateTime type without using defaults?
I am using VB.net 2003 application program. I am trying to do a select statement whereby I'm searching between 2 datetime values that are being stored as datetime. records are stored inside Access. For example, I am searching between 2 datetime:
StartTime = 2/23/2009 9:00:00 AM
EndTime = 2/23/2009 11:30:00 AM
So I need to find all the records in between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM on 2/23/2009.
strSQL = "select OrderID from Orders Where OrderDate >= ('" & StartTime & "') AND OrderDate <= ('" & EndTime & "') "
but i got the error showing below:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Data.OleDb.OleDBException' occurred in system.data.dll
strSQL = "select OrderID from Orders Where OrderDate >= DATEVALUE('" & StartTime & "') AND OrderDate <= DATEVALUE('" & EndTime & "') "
But when I use DATEVALUE, it takes the date from the string and set time as midnight (00:00:00). So it returns no records between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM on 2/23/2009, but I can see there are records. [Code]
strSQL = "select OrderID from Orders Where OrderDate >= TimeValue('" & StartTime & "') AND OrderDate <= TimeValue('" & EndTime & "') "
And when I use TimeValue, it returns the time from the string and set date as jan 1st. so it returns no records between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM on 2/23/2009, but I can see there are records. [Code]
but none of the codes above is returning records between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM on 2/23/2009, but I can see there are records. i searched and found all those examples. but that didn't work. Is there anyway i can search between 2 datetime values. i need to find all the records that lies between that time period (for example: between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM on 2/23/2009).
I would like to be able to display null values in a datetime picker control. I am using one datetime picker control for both datadisplay and data entry. when I load the data from the database and if there is no date then the datetime picker control must be blank.
View 3 RepliesI have been dabbling in VB before and i played around wiht linq to sql back then but im wondering what i should go with here.I need to have a list of people.. They should all have their own id nr.
The people in the list are supposed to keep a record of values changing over time with a datetime stamp. (In my case its numbers from a test outcome of blood)You have to be able to add people and delete people. All records will be deleted too.A Chart will read information from the records and display changes over time in chart.I was thinking of doing it with linq to sql and i was kinda aiming at Creating datatables with id names from the script
Havent found a way of creating datatables from a script though..I was hoping for a solution like that.. And i was hoping id be able to search databasetable names.
I'm trying to create a Windows form application which uses a few data grid views to pull data back from a SQL Server database.
