i want to create a simple clock with different time than PC.I mean to say that application will as a user to input time in HH:MM:SS format and after it is submitted clock start from that time.
View 2 RepliesSo I currently have the following:
2 timers
2 labels
1st label is "Clock" this pulls the time from the users current time zone/local time
2nd label is "UTCClock" Which would be UTC time
Now I have this for the first label: clock.Text = Format(TimeOfDay, "hh:mm:ss tt")
Which would give the users current time zone/local time. As for the UTC.. how would I add in for the UTC time from where the user is located at? I did some searches.. but couldnt find what I was looking for.. IM pretty sure its not as easy as getting the users current time zone/local time.. So im assuming that Theres a "bit more" code into getting UTC time..
[code] Runs fine for 4 seconds. as you can see tried thread.sleep but did not help.just crashes itself then crashes my entire programs
View 5 RepliesI'd like to write a small app to get the time from an "atomic" clock -- I believe the UTC time and then compare this against the system clock.
So far I've been able to get the system time details with the code below but just cannot figure out where to start on getting the atomic clock(s) time.
I did Google this for examples and have not found anything useful, I did find a list of atomic time servers @ the following URL and realise I have to connect to NIST Internet Time Service clock
Dim localDirect As Date = Date.Now
Dim utcDirect As Date = Date.UtcNow
Dim localFromUtc As Date = utcDirect.ToLocalTime()

I would like to make an alarm clock application, however I am having some problems in the brainstorming phase.
My main problem is the fact that I dont know how to ensure the application will be able to calculate the time and thus set off the alarm. For example, when the application is closed, how will the alarm go off?
Ideally I would like to make this app a system startup item, so if the system is rebooted, the application will automatically relaunch - but again, I dont know how to do that.
If the system is sleeping, how can I wake it up? These kind of problems.
Another dilema I have, is if this application is always running, how could I have it go to my taskbar hidden icon menu (the right section of the taskbar next to the time).

View 6 RepliesI need to add a clock to a web page. The clock needs to be synchronized with a server but I really don't want to have it constantly check the server as the page will be open 24/7 on several PCs. Is there some way to get the time from the server and then use the systems clock to keep it updated and check the server every 15 minutes or so to keep it synced?
View 4 RepliesI am currently creating a clock like the "24" clock, i have made the numbers using the drawing tools within Visual Basic, i was just wondering how i can link the current time to corrospond with the shapes i have drawn?
View 3 RepliesIn my program's Form_Load I randomly generate a time value. Once I generate the time value, I put it in a DateTime variable. I need it to work like a clock. I know I can do this with a timer with an interval of 60000, or using TimeGetTime and updating a variable.Is it possible to do this with a thread?
View 3 RepliesI have a table which contains the start date and end date, in my db. What I currently do is simply display both the fields in a ListView control. But instead of that approach, I'm thinking about displaying a 'clock' image and shading those areas with some color. This is similar to a Pie Chart. But the only difference is, I'm going to display a clock's image as background and the shading is based on the time.
View 25 RepliesI'm in need of a "global" type timer that will allow me to basically run a clock the entire time someone is on my site, no matter what pages they go to. I've played around with the timer available for forms but I didn't see a way to make it continue to run after someone left that page.The effect I'm attempting to create is for a timer to start whenever someone hits my site, then every X minutes an event will trigger. This event should happen no matter where they are on the site. I've read a couple articles on timers but to be honest I'm fairly new to VB and I didn't know if I really needed to learn about 'threading' etc, to get a timer to work.
View 2 RepliesI have noticed in a windows-based VB application I am working on when the "Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes" is de-selected, the time in the application is off by one hour. Is there anyway to make the application not sensitive to that and just display the date value that is retrieved from the database?

View 6 RepliesI am trying to create a sports scoreboard that has a game clock. (I am very much a noob at programming)I seem to have a problem with the game clock, I know I am sorry, another timer thread. (Trust me I read through about 50 of the 77 posts with 'countdown' in them)I have two solutions so far, unfortunately neither one are exactly what I am looking for. I want to have a scoreboard that counts down from a set time in the format of 00:00 and allows me to decrease and increase the time if it differs from the official clock.

I have to create a decorative digital clock, using VB2008
So far i have inserted a Picture Box control with a picture for the background of the form. I was told to use values Hour, Minute, and Second as Hour(Now), Minute(Now), and Second(Now ) to display a Digital Clock.
Is it possible to create a Digital / Analog clock in vb.net with out using the timer control?
View 2 RepliesI'm a totally newb to VB and I want to do this. I want to do display system clock into a textbox. The trick is that I want it to be synchronized with the Windows XP clock. I want to have something like +/- 100 ms accuracy.
Each 'second' change will trigger an output pin to ground into the parallel port. This is very important that the 'second' change in the same time the Windows XP second change. Do not care about the parallel output thing, I'm nearly there. My main concern is the synchronisation with Windows clock.
In my code, I've added a counter that increment +1 at each 'second' change. So, when the 'n' value will reach a determined value, it will trigger another event.

I searched on the net and I found a thing about NIST time server.. Maybe this could be an otpion, but I have even no idea about how using it... I'm a total newb, but I'm ready to learn. So, please use simple language, no hard to understand acronym etc.
I have to create an image that is to mimic a single clock rotating hand within a square area,and the user has to choose the width and speed of the rotation and the direction.i managed to create the square area with a hand inside,with this codes and variables,
(Dim Mygraphics As graphics = e.graphics
mygrqaphics.Draw Rectangle(pens.color x1,x2,y1,y2)
mygraphics draw line(pens.color,x1,x2,y1,y2),now i have to find codes and variables to rotate the hand or line within a square area.one point remaining constant the other moving.
So i know this is more Math related but it would make life so much easier. What i want to do is enter 2 times into 2 text boxes and then subtract them from eachother to find out the hours inbetween as a decimal.

View 3 RepliesIm trying to create a program with a simple gui that enables me to search for and select parent folders containing child folders containing multiple files and then validate those files based off of constants i set per child folder and file.
Example
User selects Parent FolderX
Parent FolderX > (ChildFolder1 ( Constant for ChildFolder1 says open file 4 ) > File 4
Compare multiple strings of text in a specific order based off of file name to constants i have set for that named file Then continue to ChildFolder2 ( Constant for ChildFolder2 says open file 16 ) > File 16 Compare multiple strings of text in a specific order based off of file name to constants i have set for that named file If there is any constants not read in one of the files after all have been checked, return msgbox with a notification and write .txt log with child folder and file names to specified directory?

I apologize if this question is something of the most simple, but I'm not even sure what terms I should use to search.
