How can I convert a (unix) timestamp (which I get from a web service as integer) to a human readable date?
View 3 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 4 RepliesMy boss wants a time stamp on items as they are entered, so far I can pull the current DateTime from the system. Problem is when it does this it has a # at either end for instance:
Dim dtNow As System.DateTime = System.DateTime.Now
When I put a break on this dtNow is #7/13/2009 10:48:46 PM#
Our back end is SQL and I have added a column of TimeStarted and I want this data to be input here, issue is SQL does not like the # symbols, how do i Trim these things off so that it will take the DateTime. I put the code in the form load event
Dim dtNow As System.DateTime = System.DateTime.Now
GetDataTable("Update AuditProducts Set TimeStart = '" & dtnow & "' where ID = '" & txtID.ToString & "'")
txtID is a hidden textbox used to pull the ID of the specific item that was just created. I went directly to the SQL server and placed this query without the # on the date time and it went in no probs.
for it but couldn't find a solution. If you can link me a thread that answers this question, that'll work for me.

View 6 RepliesI'm getting the timestamp value of an ftp file like this:
ftpRequest.Method = System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.GetDateTimestamp
Through:
ftpResponse.StatusDescription
It returns:
213 20120512102159
I'm pretty sure 213 is the ftp status code, and then 20120512102159 would be 2012, 05(may), 12(12th), then probably HH MM SS... But this doesn't match my local system, so possibly the FTP server's local time?
Anyhow... This value is a string, am I missing some obvious value of just the date? Otherwise, how do I get this string as a datetime value?
In .Net/VB.Net, what is the best way to embed a timestamp (simple text like "2011/Jan/13 13:44") into a bitmap image?
I am loading images from a database, and they come without a timestamp embedded directly in the bitmap. What I am trying to do is add a timestamp to the image when I save it.
I am currently developing a webpage, and I want to add date&time to my database whenever there is an entry on the database.

I'm having trouble getting a data stamp to format correctly in VB.NET I need a date stamp exactly like this:
December 10, 2008 at 1:27 PM In VB6, this works perfectly.
Code:
Format(Now, "MMMM d, yyyy at H:mm ampm")
I can get everything except the Timestamp in VB.NET.
Code:
Format(Now, "MMM, yyyy 'at' H:mm AMPM")
produces - December 10, 2008 at 13:13A12P12
I need 1:13 PM, not 13:13.I can't find anything to format the time to AM/PM vs. military time.I've tried String.Format with no luck either.
I am trying to connect ftp from my vb application code is
Quote:
Try
Dim ftpReq As FtpWebRequest = WebRequest.Create("*****")
ftpReq.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectoryDetails
ftpReq.Credentials = New NetworkCredential("***", "****")
[Code]...
My first issue is that ListDirectoryDetails appears to list the modified date/time instead of the create date/time. My second issue is that the date/time field appears to be limited in size to the point it lists the year or time but not both. I can live without the year but I must have time.
Is there anything I can do to guarantee I always get the time and ensure it is returning the create/date time instead of the modified date/time? If not, is there another way to get this information?
Examples:
-r--w--r-- 1 root public 1602 Mar 11 13:31 file1.txt
-r--r--w-- 1 root public 2514276 Nov 05 2008 file2.txt

I have to load a data-file (articledata.txt) which is then being used into different other excels which filter out the needed data. After X hours the data-file will be updated, so now I'd like to inform the user that newer data is available (so they can refresh the excels).
I would think I can use the time-stamp of the file when I load it, save it, and then compare it (every X time?) with the time-stamp of the data-file to see whether it has been updated, but I have no idea how to get the timestamp out of the file.
I am using the following code to copy a file:System.IO.File.Copy(strOldFile, strNewFile)
But the trouble is that the newly-created file inherits the old file's timestamp. Is there a way to force the timestamp to update?
When I click on the Save button in the interface it executes the SaveData() steps. But I am being told that I need to update the date stamp on the Access file. How I would make this change?

Handles ProblemTableBindingNavigatorSaveItem.Click
SaveData()
End Sub

I need to begin working with milliseconds in .Net 3.0. The data will be returned from an Oracle Database and if I understand correctly Oracle can only store dates that use milliseconds as a TimeStamp. It does appears that the Date type in .Net can handle milliseconds but when I have tried to retrieve Timestamps from Oracle stored procedures in the past I ran into a nasty error. Can .Net handle the Oracle timestamp data type or do I need to bring it back as a VarChar and cast it to a date type?

The problem is when I run the search, it returns all the filenames plus the full path.[URL]..I only want to show the filename and if possible, the file creation date.
Listbox output should be:

View 2 RepliesI'm creating a game using vb.net and whenever the user inputs something to my program it displays the time and the time displayed until the user inputs something again the the time changes. I have my program display each individual timestamp but I would like to know if I would be able to save the values and all display at the end of my game in a new form.
The code I have is the following:
(in timer1=tmrReadInputs):
For I = 0 To 3
If (Convert.ToInt32(DataValue) And CInt((2 ^ I))) <> 0 Then
lblBitVal(I).Text = "1"
Else
lblBitVal(I).Text = "0"
TextBox1.Text = Trim(Format(Now, "hh:mm:ss tt"))
End If
Next I
tmrReadInputs.Start()
So when the value changes from 1 to 0, the textbox displays the time. How can I save the different time stamp values? I heard StreamWriter can work but I keep trying that and it doesn't work
I'd like to create a macro in Outlook but I have to admit I don't really know VB...Many times the day, I have to send an email and paste the contain with timestamp in a log file.The steps are:
send the email go to the "sent items" folder select the last mail sent click forward edit it from the beginning of the timestamp to the end copy close the closeThe simplest way for me to do it would be to have "send and copy" button beside the "send" button which would do it automatically.I am sorry to ask the whole code but I don't even know how to select the "sent folder".
