Let just say I have an Integer like 10,000 (that's the VALUE in want to reach). So, I have another integer like 2500 (that's my current VALUE). Third I have another Integer about 350 PER HOUR. To reach 10,000 I need 7,500 (well I already have 2,500). How long must I wait to reach the 10,000 when the increase is about 350 a Hour. Okay, that's easy: 7,500 / 350 = 21,428571 Hours. BUT how can I convert this double to a timespan? Or how is it possible to add this double value to the current Date to get the Date + Time when I reach the Value?
I am working on a timekeeping application in VB 2008 and need to show elapsed time in hours and minutes. I have no problem eliminating seconds but if the hours exceed 24 the time is displayed as days.hours:minutes and what I need is to show (for instance) 30 hours and 15 minutes as 30:15 not 1.6:15
Is there a better way then using code like: strHours = (TimeSpan.Days * 24) + TimeSpan.Hours strMinutes = TimeSpan.Minutes strTotalTime = strHours & ":" & strMinutes
I need to take 6 user entered dates and compare them to a date pulled from a database & stored in a variable. If greater than 6 weeks, then some action needs to take place.When writing the code, I get the following message (before compilation). Value of type 'Date' cannot be converted to 'System.TimeSpan'. [code] Within my code the 'dt' in the line above is underlined with the error message appearing on mouseover. I have tried using CType, as in dt = CType(Session("dt_occurence"), DateTime) in the hopes that might work, but it doesn't do it.
I am trying to store a time from my textbox field value but I got this exception error,Failed to convert parameter value from a TimeSpan to a DateTime.[code]
I am trying to flag rows in a grid in the following order based on a date column
When 2 or more days old from today then RED When 1 day old then YELLOW When 0 days old then GREEN When the date is in the future then BLUE
I have the following which is working fine except for the future dates which are GREEN instead of BLUE.
Dim myDate As DateTime = CType(grdSummaryView.GetRowCellValue(e.RowHandle, "myDate"), DateTime) Select Case Now.Subtract(myDate).Days '2 or more days old then RED FLAG Case Is >= 2
why did they make this so hard to do. Does anyone have any clear cut, basic 3-4 lines of code that can tell me how to add 2 time variables together to create a 3rd variable? I tried this but on Time2 I get Value of type 'Date' cannot be converted to 'System.TimeSpan'.
I have a requirement that regardless of the start and dates that I need to loop through that timespan and calculate figures at the month level. I cannot seem to figure it out, and maybe it is not possible, but I would like to do something like:
FOREACH Month As TimeSpan in ContractRange.Months Do Calculations (Month.Start, Month.End) NEXT
Is this possible or do I need to calculate the number of months, and just iterate through the amount of months and calculate the start/end of that month based on my index?
I'm using a 3rd party chart COM object (National Instruments CW graph) to plot data versus elapsed time.The x value needs to be a VB6 equivalent Date type which is a .NET DateTime datatype.What I need is a way to convert a TimeSpan datatype to a DateTime datatype.
Dim testTime as System.DateTime 'date Dim plotTime as System.DateTime 'date Dim elapsedTime as System.TimeSpan[code].....
I am attempting to import data in a batch from an Excel Worksheet to a Sql Server database. Everything works except for the one date field in the spreadsheet. The date returned is off by four years from the value in the spreadsheet. Example: The Excel sheet has a date 10/24/2010 14:18, but when I look at the column in my query, the date is 10/23/2006 2:18. This pattern, 4 years and 1 day earlier, is repeated for every row in the worksheet.
The Excel column comes to me as a custom type, formatted m/d/yyyy h:mm. I receive this from an outside vendor and having them change the column is not going to be my simplest solution.
For what it's worth, the relevent part of the query is:
i use data grid view in couple of my forms, i want to sirt there by date, but the datagridview of these forms take in two dates as well, a from date and a to date., and both are displayed side by side. eg feb 01 2010 - feb09 2010 and therea are more like this. the grid takes in couple of values like this
cant seem to get this to work , I am tryin gto get the date from last week exactly 7 days ago i get an error when i try this "cannot convert to date "
Private Sub frmMain_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim dateTimeInfo As Date = Date.Now MessageBox.Show(dateTimeInfo.Date.ToString(Format(DateAdd("", -7, "yyyyMMdd")))) txtFileDate.Text = "" End Sub
Let's say I want to convert a Double x to a Decimal y. There's a lot of ways to do that:
1. var y = Convert.ToDecimal(x); // Dim y = Convert.ToDecimal(x) 2. var y = new Decimal(x); // Dim y = new Decimal(x) 3. var y = (decimal)x; // Dim y = CType(x, Decimal) 4. -- no C# equivalent -- // Dim y = CDec(x)
Functionally, all of the above do the same thing (as far as I can tell). Other than personal taste and style, is there a particular reason to choose one option over the other?
EDIT: This is the IL generated by compiling the three C# options in a Release configuration:
1. call valuetype [mscorlib]System.Decimal [mscorlib]System.Convert::ToDecimal(float64) --> which calls System.Decimal::op_Explicit(float64)
Is there an efficient method in VB to check if a string can be converted to a double?I'm currently doing this by trying to convert the string to a double and then seeing if it throws an exception. But this seems to be slowing down my application.
Follow-Up available: There's a follow-up with further details, see Convert MBF to IEEE.
I've got some legacy data which is still in use, reading the binary files is not the problem, the number format is. All floating point numbers are saved in MBF format (Single and Double). I've found a topic about that on the MSDN boards but that one only deals with Single values. I'd also would like to stay away from API-Calls as far as I can.
Edit: Just in case somebody needs it, here is the VB.NET Code (it's Option Strict compliant) I ended up with (feel free to convert it to C# and edit it in):
''' <summary>Converts a MBF Single to an IEEE Single</summary> ''' <param name="src">The MBF Single value</param> ''' <returns>The converted IEEE Single value</returns>
Iam using VB 2005 on Vista This is a sample of what I am doing:
Public Class Form 1 Dim WC As String Private Sub Button1_Click
[Code]...
How do I get around this? What I am trying to do is, I really want to use TextBox's for input to enter numbers when the program is running and I also want a MsgBox to appear if an input is not entered because these numbers are important to a final formula further down.
data table contain column named as Fld_primary. this column contain value like 0.00 it is double datatype in mysql table.i want store that datatable value in double variable. am always getting error when i convert to double datatype.
my code ------- Dim ds5 As dataset1.DTSUMDataTable = TA5.GetData(users) Dim dttot As Double dttot = CType(ds5("fld_primary").ToString, Double)
Error:Conversion from string "fld_primary" to type 'Integer' is not valid.
I am trying to convert a string to double and it is giving error. Bye the way it is not giving error on my PC but it gives on some pc's where other clients are using. String is retrieved from xml data.
<data><vitals> <username>aiglemedia</username> <balance>49.60</balance> </vitals></data> vb code Dim curBalance As Double xmlNode = xmlDoc.GetElementsByTagName("vitals")......xmlDoc contains the above xml data curBalance = System.Convert.ToDouble(xmlNode.Item(0).Item("balance").InnerText)... I think so error is on this line.
Below is the link for the error given by the client who is using the app [URL]
Dim Latitude As Double = row("fltLatitude") Dim Longitude As Double = row("fltLongitude")
Most of the lat/longs that are being fetched from the db using SP are retrieved in properly, except for a couple of records which do not include a period to indicate a lat/long value.I have tried using these:
