better way to determin if a string is or is not a colour ....this is what i've found but im not using it ....
Dim mycc As New ColorConverter
Try
Dim lbl As New Label
lbl.BackColor = mycc.ConvertFrom($STRING)
IsColour = True
[code]....
[URL] That way if the string that is not recognised that is passed to Color.FromName it returns a SolidColor of
Color.Black = Color.FromARGB(255,0,0,0)
That way, Forms and controls that only support SolidColors are supported.Installing VB6 on Windows 7?
I currently have a function that saves a control.forecolor to a file.
The file looks like this:
CODE:
Now, I have another function which retrieves the string "Color [ControlDarkDark]" from the file...But how Can I Apply that color to a control?
How can i use the color dialogue to return the color selected as a string? So if i was to select red i would like the return to be "Red" and so on so fourth.Another thing i would like to ask is if it is possible to return the color selected as a string in hex color code form (like what is used in HTML for example #FFFFFF, #000000 and so on so fourth).I have a feeling though that it can only be returned as R G B integers but maybe there is a way of converting these to hex color codes?
View 11 RepliesWe know that VB string start and end with double quotes " "
So we have to use "" if we want " in VB string.
I wonder if there is a regular expression pattern which will match VB string?.

I am trying to parse a date to a datetime picker but this error keeps on appearing "String was not recognized as a valid DateTime" The reason behind this is because the date format of the computer is "MM/dd/yyyy" whereas the date am passing is in this format "dd/MM/yyyy" Here is how I tried resolving the problem:
DTDateReceived.Value = Date.Parse(ListView1.Items.Item(ListView1.FocusedItem.Index).SubItems(7).Text)
The aforementioned error occurs
working with dates is driving me mad I have the following function to parse al datetime strings in my project:
Public Shared Function ToDate(ByVal obj As Object) As DateTime?
If obj = String.Empty OrElse obj Is DBNull.Value Then Return Nothing
Return DateTime.Parse(obj.ToString)
End Function
Most of my date strings on my pc are "yyyy/MM/dd" and it parses fine. However on the server the dates are "dd/MM/yyyy".I tried this but it made no difference:
Public Shared Function ToDate(ByVal obj As Object) As DateTime?
If obj = String.Empty OrElse obj Is DBNull.Value Then Return Nothing
Return DateTime.Parse(obj.ToString, System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat)
End Function
on my pc if I assign DateTime.Now to a textbox I get 2011/05/31 08:02:00 AM for example. On the server I have my project the date displays as 31/05/2011 08:02:00 AM. Now I use objectdatasources to save the values to my database. Yesterday I was getting this error:Cannot convert value of parameter '' from 'System.String' to 'System.DateTime'until I formatted the date value like so:
Me.odsRates.InsertParameters.Add("CreatedDate", rt.CreatedDate.ToString("yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss"))

Conversion from string "9838 Co Rd 47" to type 'Integer' is not valid.
The address is flowing through the entire function as a string the only place I think it could be getting changed somehow is in a function call... Below is the function that throws the exception. Followed by the function that returns the address.[code]...
