how to store string value in date variable in vb.net
i am using the following code
dim dtBL as Date
txtBLDate.text="23/11/2010"
dtBL = Format(CDate(txtBLDate.Text), "MM/dd/yyyy")
but i am getting the error which says that 'Conversion from string "23/11/2010" to type 'Date' is not valid.'
how I can ensure that conversion of a date to a string and a string to a date will give me the same date format.
For example:
Code:
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim d As Date = Date.Now
[code].....
I'm actually only interested in the date part as the label text shows so f is more than I want.But also, the day and month are reversed.
I am trying to parse a date from a textbox and store it in a date variable
Dim enddt_2 As Date = Date.ParseExact(txtenddt.Text, "dd/MM/yyyy", System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo.InvariantInfo) 'txtenddt.Text
expenddt_1 = enddt_2.AddDays(-1)
enddt = enddt_2.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy")
enddt is a Date variable and when i convert enddt_2 to a string i get the error as
Conversion from string "17/01/2012" to type 'Date' is not valid.
Let me clarify, if a value in textbox is 17/01/2012 than after parsing the value is changed to 01/17/2012 (my systems Region and Language are dd/MM/yyyy) in enddt_2 and when i try to convert to dd/MM/yyyy format and store into a date variable i get the above error. This error comes only for the dates after 12. i.e a date variable accepts a date in MM/dd/yyyy format.The dates before 12 work fine, i.e for all dates from 1 to 12 there is no error.How can i make enddt store the date in dd/MM/yyyy format.
i know that integer is a variable to store whole numbers and that a string is a varialbe used to store any text, but what variable type would you use to store a number that has decimals?

How to store today's date in a variable?
View 3 RepliesI am currently working on a custom data type, and wanted to implement a = operator.
I data type is a nullable date that returns a string value if date was supplied.
I want to allow the variable to be set like this
Dim nd as New NullableDate nd = Today Does anyone know how this can be done, or can anyone point me in the right direction?
So there's this accounting package at my client that spits out text-based reports with invalid dates, like February 31st or September 31st.The reports are formatted with spaces and mono-spaced fonts. The data that gets parsed out are fed into a more formal local SSRS report, and that's about all you need to know.
What I am interested in fixing is the situation where a date is invalid and can't be converted into a DateTime struct. The date format from the report is "MMM-dd-yy" (e.g. "Feb-30-10"). The date strings need to be fixed before being shown in the formal report. I've seen this done two ways in my time as a developer, and I want to come up with a cleverer way of doing it (if there isn't a built-in way I don't know about).The first bad method (I can't believe I'm even showing you!):
Dim month As Integer = <Parse out the month from the bad date string>
Dim day As Integer = <Parse out the day from the bad date string>
Dim year As Integer = <Parse out the year from the bad date string>
Dim validDate As DateTime

I am using SSIS and I need to transform a date. How can I transform a date in String format (e.g. 14/09/1980) to the same but in date format in VB.NET?
I would like the datetime format to insert it into a SQL database.
I am coding a program that will allow the user to input 5 payrolls for Store 1, Store 2, and Store 3. The total of the 5 payrolls are then added together and shown in the respective Store's labels. A total label is also there to add up all the totals into one number. The numbers in the label must be in currency form. My problem is the numbers don't add correctly when I hit calculate. The first two numbers add together, but then after that the number just seems to subtract a random amount.
So far I have this --
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Me.Close()

View 11 RepliesI'm using date in the format dd-mm-yyyy and I need to convert a string inthis format to a date type.My string is "18-01-2010" but when I do the conversion using dim TargetDate as date=CDate(TgDstr).where TgDstr is "18-01-2010", the resutant TargetDate, as note in the debugger window, is #1/18/2010# rather than #18/1/2010# which I expected.What change in code should I made to get the desired result?
(P.s. I've checked the current culture with the following line of code:

I am debugging an application that I ported from Windows, to *nix, a little while ago. The app stores dates as doubles (using the OLE Date format). I need to be able to inspect the dates - as human readable strings. I cant find an online conversion tool, so I decided to roll my own.
I was originally going to write an OpenOffice function, but I think it would be more straightforward to use one of the .Net languages, to write a small console app that accepts the double as a parameter and prints the date string to the console.
I am relatively new to .Net (though I have dabbled with both C# and VB.Net in the past). Can anyone help with my main() function? - snippets in either VB.Net or C# will be equally useful.
I have a date, as a Date type and a time, as a String and I want to combine the two into a Date type. ie. #2/11/2011# & "13:55:27" = #2/11/2011 1:55:27 PM#. How can I do this?

I want to store in a string the name of a component without using the component itself. I tried the following
Private Sub CmbPriceList_KeyUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles CmbPriceList.KeyUp

End Sub
The above code returns the type of the component (here it returns 'Combobox'). But I want the name of it.

I need to permanently store a string or maybe a object in my application. And yes, I have tried the application settings (My.Settings).
My.Settings.something = "hi" will save "hi" into something, and when i use msgbox to output the data, it works. The thing is; when I copy my application to somewhere else on my computer it is gone. I guess the settings is saved to some file at the filesystem, and when I move my file it also creates a new settings file. How can I store a string inside my application, and also move the application later on?

View 2 RepliesI am working on a VB.net winform application which makes extensive us of a mssql database. For the most part (almost exclusively), I have used the Visual Studio dataset for accessing the data. This means that the connection string was created as a program setting, and is saved in the app.config file. The problem that I have, is that I need to move this connection string to the system registry because it has been deemed by the powers that be that a config file is not secure enough.
I think that I can figure out how to access a registry key, and I know that I can save the string to a registry key, but the problem that I am running into is that I don't access the connection key in the code anywhere to easily swap out the registry key for the existing program setting. When VS creates the connection and dataset, where is the connection string referenced? Is there a simple way to swap these out? is it possible even to just reference the registry key in the setting so that I don't have to find where the setting is used and switch it out?
