View 7 RepliesI was recently assigned to do some research on how to approach a project. Right now we have an old program written in tcl. From this tcl program ( running on VMS client computer), we are able to run unix commands to execute processes on a unix server. This is done via tcpip. Now, we are thinking of making upgrades to this system . We are wondering if this kind of thing was possible with Visual Basic. Are we able to run a VB program on windows computer to run UNIX commands on a server? If so, what issues might be brought up. If anyone has even the briefest guideline or tip on this,

View 2 Repliescmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO Dropping (form_num, filing_date, approval_date, status) VALUES ('" + fnum + "', '" + deyt + "', '" + nulll + "', '" + stat + "')"
here is an sql query statement i run in vb.net. i keep getting the error of "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string." whenever i try to execute this. the datatype of filing_date and approvale_date is "text" but the deyt variable is originally Date, converted to string: (Date.Today).ToString, like so. nulll is simply a variable with vbNullChar as its value.
I used to query:
Dim a As String
a = "INSERT INTO tblVisitor(Name, Sex, TimeIn, EnterDate)
VALUES('"& txtName.Text &"', '"& cboSex.Text &"', '"& Now() &"', '"& DateTime.Parse(cboEnterDate.Text) &"')"

Which cboEnterDate is my DateTime Picker. Then I got the message:Conversion failed when converting date time from character string.
The error is: Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.Basically I'm trying to make it so that when someone clicks a location in a list box it increments the correct field in a Stats table by 1 to say that they clicked the location. I've been trying to solve this for a while now and can't get anywhere. My date is in date format, and so is the Date field in my Stats table. My code can be seen below.

View 2 RepliesI have trying to complete an assignment where I have to convert a string from user input to all different US time zones and then display them. At first I tried doing this just by using math but it seemed extremely inefficient and messy so I was told to use the DateTime function which seems easier with the exception of one thing - I have found absolutely no examples of converting time to different time zones. I was able to take the string and convert it to UTC time thinking it would make it easier but now I don't know how to convert them to PST, EST, MST, or CST. I included the function below:
Private Sub timeDifference()

I'm working on some code in VB that can get the average time from the speed of button press. I've got the maths done however I'm having a problem converting a TimeSpan declaration into a Integer where it can be divided and made into a average.
Maths for code:
2nd click
click count = 2
average= current time / 1
so current = time click count - 1

I have a variable which I called ElapsedTime. I press a button and it displays the time in seconds since clicking the button, into a label . I did it with HTML
Private Sub Timer2_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer2.Tick
LblElapsedTime1.Text = ElapsedTime
ElapsedTime = ElapsedTime + 1
End Sub
Private Sub BtnStart_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnStart.Click
Timer2.Enabled = True
End Sub
This updates every second a bit like a simple stop watch. Great so far, because I do need the elapsed time (in seconds) for later use in my app. However, whilst elapsed time is being displayed in this label on the screen I want it to be shown in HH:MM:SS format. How can I convert it into a new variable " ElapsedTime2 " so that I can show it in the desired format yet still retain my original " ElapsedTime " variable for later.
I am trying to make a program in visual basic 2010 where the user enters hours minutes and seconds into text boxes and then the program will count down from that until its equal to 0 when a msgbox appears and says its finished. I was converting hour entered, minutes entered, and seconds entered all into seconds and then having a timer subtract 1 from that until its equal to 0. But the problem I'm having is that I want to display the hours, minutes and seconds left in a label to the user in a format of: "hours: 0 minutes: 23 seconds :42" but how to display it in this format.
