Get A Value By Key Using DateTime.ToBinary
Oct 5, 2010
I've hit a snag in one of my apps and I could code it differently so it would work, but I'd rather figure out why its not working as is.
If you add a watch in VS to dtDate.Tobinary and lDateInBinary you will see they do not hold the same number; however, it evaluates as true.
Dim dtDate as new DateTime(2010, 10, 5, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Local)
Dim lDateInBinary as Long = dtDate.toBinary()
If dtDate.toBinary() = lDateInBinary then
'Hits
Else
'Doesn't Hit
End If
Here it shows two longs that are very different as being equivalent. In my particular problem, I have a dictionary who's key is a Long and when I try to get a value by key using DateTime.ToBinary it doesn't find the a matching key since the numbers are different.
Why are these numbers different? Why do they evaluate to be the same? They are both within the bounds of the min/max of a Long, unless I'm overlooking something (it's been a long day)..

I'm trying to match a certain DateTime value with the current system DateTime. I have a timer and a label on a form. Timer interval is set to 1000. When the form loads, the timer starts ticking. As soon as the current DateTime matches the value of the variable, it shows a message in the label. When I'm writing the following code, the values don't match even if the current system DateTime is equal to the variable. Label1 isn't showing 'Times Matched':[code]The default format of 'Now' is the same as I have stored in dtmVar variable. So there's no question of format mismatch. Does that mean 'Now' is not actually a DateTime property? Provided, my O.S. is Windows Vista Ultimate and all date/time settings are set to default.

I try to compare Datetime.Now with a Datetime variable I set, using the Datetime.CompareTo() method. I use a timer to compare these every second and display the result, but as the current time approaches the time I set, the result changes from 1 to -1, but never 0, which means these two are never equal. I'm suspecting the Datetime structure contains milliseconds?

I'm trying to add the date and time of Today into a Sql-database-field that has the datetype datetime.
[Code]...
the msgbox gives me the following result: 29/01/2011 18:49:21 my sqlException gives me the following error: 102 - Incorrect syntax near '18'. Is it better that i set the datatype to char in my sql database? It's maybe a bit easier? When I do that, can I calculate with these date?

I have a DateTime object I want to compare against an sql datetime field in a where clause. I'm currently using:
"where (convert( dateTime, '" & datetimeVariable.ToString & "',103) <= DatetimeField)"
But I believe datetimeVariable.ToString will return a different value depending on the culture where the system is running.
How would you handle this so it is culture independent?
EDIT : I won't be using paramatised sql in this code...
EDIT : following Parmesan's comment to one of the answers looks like the best method may be:
"where (convert( dateTime, '" & datetimeVariable.ToString( "s" ) & "',126) <= DatetimeField)"

My SQL server is running from the west coast and I live in the east coast, I am running a VB.NET code and to check for items within the right time I have to use DateTime.Now.AddHours(-3).
Now thinking about it, when the daylight savings happen, it will only be DateTime.Now.AddHours(-2), how do I go about fixing that from now? Is there a way to fix that?

In VB6 if I wanted to see if a datetime field wasn't set, I could do something like if myDate = 0 then. I tried that with VB.NET and it can't compare to an integer. How do we do this now? I found the Ticks property, so if myDate.Ticks = 0 does seem to work, but I'm not sure if that's the "right" way to do it. None of the other things I've tried have been successful.
Dim dt As New DateTime
If dt.Ticks = 0 Then MsgBox("dt.Ticks = 0") 'this fires
If IsDBNull(dt) Then MsgBox("IsDBNull(dt)") 'doesn't fire, so no good
If Not IsDate(dt) Then MsgBox("Not IsDate(dt)") 'doesn't fire, so no good
'If dt Is Nothing Then MsgBox("dt is nothing") 'not legal syntax

I am working on Search of records from Database between range of two dates. I implemented it with two textboxes for StartDate and EndDate and it is working fine.Now i want to attach Calender to the textboxes so that user may not have to type the dates instead user may just select the Startdate and Enddate from two Calenders.I tried with adding two DateTimePicker and used following code:[code]I have two queries:
1) DateTimePicker desplays date and time in the Textbox, I want that only Date is displayed in the Textbox.
2) How i can attach DateTimePicker directly to Texbox so that on runtime when i select a date from DateTimePicker it should immediately display in Textbox.

From what I can tell Date and DateTime have the same functionality. Is there a reason why I would want to use one instead of the other?

In vb.net, is there a way to set a datetime variable to "not set". And why is it allowed to set a date to Nothing and NOT allowed to check if it is Nothing, like this:
Dim d As DateTime = Nothing
Dim boolNotSet As Boolean = d Is Nothing
This throws an error with this description:
'Is' operator does not accept operands of type 'Date'. Operands must be reference or nullable types.

We have a DateTime Service that pulls the Database date down when we need to use a Date. Now, If I want to run a test using "Todays" Date using FitNesse, What would be the easiest way of creating a way to have (OurService).CurrentDate be static? We have a control that ads Days,Years, or Months to the current date.. and I would like to be able to test this.
