I am trying to get the current GMT time in vb.net and can't seem to figure it out. A lot of google threads pointed to using DateTime.UtcNow but that gives an incorrect GMT time.
MsgBox(DateTime.UtcNow) 'outputs 11/21/2010 14:46:41

So 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..

View 1 RepliesI'm writing a report scheduler that is somewhat of a clone to the backupexec scheduler and the layout can be seen in post #10 here: [URL]..It works great and saves/edits/deletes records just fine, but now i need to compare those records one at a time in a windows service that i'm writing in order to trigger automated report creation and emailing - i already have the report and i already have the code for the emailing, i'm just looking for the most efficient way to loop through the table (that i've pulled in to a dataset) and compare its records with the current date and time - if true, the event fires.
[Code]...
1stSun, 2ndSun etc are bit fields, time is a datetime, and the remainder are varchar. My service checks the database every thirty seconds.The english version of what i'm trying to do is "Connect to the database, grab the entire table (it will always only have 5-6 entries max, so i felt 30 second sweeps was okay), and If today is the 1st Sunday of the month, and it is currently 11:00:00 a.m. (could be any day or time, this is just an example) - loop through the dataset to identify if any records match the time field or greater - if they do, fire the report
I need to compare the current time with different time intervals, how can i get the time in this format so i can compare them.Format: 09:45:00
View 3 RepliesI have a form with the DateTimePicker control on it. When I select a date it gives a value like "date time" (Eg.: 5/12/2010 12:20:35 PM). But here the time returned is current time. What I need is for the date chosen from the picker automatically set the time to 00:00:00 instead of the time when the date was picked.

View 4 RepliesI'm looking for the equivalent to a Java System.currentTimeMilli(), in VB.NET.What is the method to call? I know about Datetime.Now, but not about the actual conversion to long milliseconds.More details about my specific need: I need to manage a login expiration. So most likely when I log in, I will set a "expiration_time_milli", equal to the current time + the timeout value. Then later, if I want to check if my login is valid, I will check is "expiration_time_milli" is still superior to current time.

I need to save the current date and time in database the problem that it saves only the right date but time is always saved as 12:00
In the screenshot, you'll see three things- a start time, end time and total time. So the goal is this A user puts in a current start time by hitting F1 at the start of shift. They tab across the end time to the "time field", then go across the row. Then they enter their case number, then hit F1 again, and it will enter the current time in the start box on the next row, as well as putting that time in the end box in the row above.

View 2 RepliesI have a 500K+ lines vb.net app, written by 10+ different devs over the past 5 years. Many times it gets the system time and/or date and relies on it.Now I have to re-run real cases thru the program for regression testing purposes, and it screws up cases where the date/time matter. My fix is easy, just replace all the areas in the program that get current date/time with a sub that gets the current date/time, UNLESS I'm testing, in which case it will return the date/time of the original run. I have tried searching the sourcecode for the obvious 'current date/time' functions:
Now
DateAndTime.TimeOfDay
Date.ToDay
However, if I miss one, I LOSE.list more ways to get the current time, that might be hidden in the source code, that I can search for? Note: It's pretty clear none of the 3rd party libs in this system are returning date, well, one is, but I've caught it.

adding basically just the current date and time to a textbox/label or something like that? I have looked at coding but everyone seems to do it in such a complex way. Is there not a simple way of doing this? I don't want to use the date time picker as I don't want a user to be able to select the date or time.
