if it does not work then your asp_net user do not have rights to use the word. go to control panel and in user accounts change the asp net user from limited to adminsitrator. Hopefully this will reolve your problem.

Hi everyone,

I am trying to convert a string format date e.g "13/07/2006" to a date. I am getting an error "String was not recognized as a valid DateTime".
How can i convert it to "MM/dd/yyyy" format.

Please reply
thanks,
Sanded

Use the DateTime.ParseExact method.

---
b { font-weight: normal; }

hey
u can use any of this...
1.FormatDateTime(frDate, DateFormat.ShortDate)
2.cDate(frdate) this is best method to convert ur string .

Parag

first import System.Globalization namespace

'create an object of culture info
Dim myCI As New CultureInfo("en-US", False)
'take culture info's clone
Dim myCIclone As CultureInfo = CType(myCI.Clone(), CultureInfo)
'customise its date pattern
myCIclone.DateTimeFormat.DateSeparator = "/"
myCIclone.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern = "dd/MM/yyyy"
'parse date string with this pattern
DateTimePicker1.Value = DateTime.Parse("13/07/2006", myCIclone.DateTimeFormat)

and u have done !;)

Your solution was helpful. While the Solution provided by other guys created the same error message but i really appreciate their help as well.

thanks,

my application is actually a web application where i manually upload CSV file to the database.but i want to automate the process,so i have thought of a second stage to this application i.e through a windows application i would download the CSV file from the NSEIndia.com site automatically and then upload the same to SQLServer on the server.i am facing a problem with upload i.e exporting the data to the database.it would be a great help to me if any one could provide me a solution either in VB.Net code or C# code.

Hi All

,

I'm new in VB6.I have some doubts regarding forms.Basically my project consist of 2 forms(Form1 & Form2).Form1 is working perfectly fine.But when Form2 is load,the functions in it tends to slow down.But the codes is the same as Form1.Anyone met this prob before?I tried setting the timer faster but the outcome is the same.Thanks in advance.

Never heard of the problem before. There's go to to be something in your code that's doing it. You mentioned Timers? Are you doing things on both forms at the same time? This might have something to do with it...

Why are you learning VB6?? It's pretty much a dead product. You can get VB.NET 2005 Express Edition for free here[^].

Oh,i know VB.NET is a more updated version.But i'm handling a project that
is previously done by other people.He uses VB6 so i have to continue with it.
Regarding the timers,at only 1 time,only an event is executed.But i have set timer6 in Form1 as well as Form2.After proceeding from Form1 to Form2,i hope that the events at Form1 won't be executed.But i also don't want to unload it as i need it at a later part.I cant possibly declare all timers disabled at Form2 as there are a large number of timers at Form1.So i hope someone can help me with this.Thanks alot.

Uhhh, yeah. You might have found your problem.

Your explanation of what each form is doing is far from useful. All I know is that your using a large number of Timers, which is not a good idea. Since every one of those timers is firing it's "Tick" event on the UI thread, your Timers are probably bogging down your entire application.

Dave Kreskowiak

hmm...as my proj need quite alot of functions,so i need to use so many timers.For Form1,i'm using Timer6 to make numbers selection.For Form2,i'm also using Timer6.It is the same codes but its the running of the contents that is different.Form1 is working fine(with some minor errors) but Form2 tends to be slower in reacting that causes distorted output.I set the timer interval faster but there isn't any difference.So what could be due to?Thanks alot.

i'm using Timer6

Whats a "Timer6"?

Without seeing any of your code, it's impossible to understand what your trying to describe.

Hi,

I am getting this error when I try to add null to the value. Operator is not valid for type DBNull and type Date. Not sure how to fix this issue. I tried everything I could, but with no luck. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
This is the code I have so far, which is causing the error.

comm.CommandText = "Update testbackup set datein = (null) & timein = (null) where barcodeid = '" & DgDisplay.Item(DgDisplay.CurrentRowIndex, 0).ToString & "'"<br />
comm.ExecuteNonQuery()

I'm not sure there's a way to specify DBNull in a string, perhaps you need to write a stored proc ?
