Yes i've tried that. i even assigned the whole value '11/6/2006 4:00 PM' to a string Variable called _test and did it like so...
string _test = _date + " " + _time;<br />
DateTime _dateTimeNew = Convert.ToDateTime(_test);

Take a look at the culture for them. Convert.ToDateTime on strings uses the current culture. If you want to force it into a particular format, use an IFormatProvider to force it into a specific culture.
CultureInfo culture = new CultureInfo("en-GB");<br />
<br />
string dateTime = Convert.ToDateTime(_date + " " + _time, culture);

oh sorry, i modified my code now...
it was supposed to say DateTime _dateTimeNew = Convert.ToDateTime(_date + " " _time)
This is how it is in our code... yet it throws away the _time variable's value and the _dateTimeNew Variable only gets the '11/6/2006' part not the whole '11/6/2006 4:00 PM'
It really has me boggled.

Still - take a look at the CurrentCulture. Remember, the input to the Convert is the string, so this is dependent on the culture.

Thanks, i'll try that. The thing that i can't get is why it would work on one pc and not on the other...
But thanks i'll try it your way...
Thank you for your time.

Because the culture is set differently on each machine.
|
|
|
|

no, it's the same... we checked the regional settings if that is what you mean by culture being different.
Still, this problem is still a problem...
Thank you for taking time to help.
Enjoy your day...

Hi Guys!
I'm trying to build an application that will allow a user to enter some information into a number of boxes on a Windows Form, which will then be entered into a HTML page, which will then be converted into a PDF.
The info entered will be:
Heading 1
Info 1
Price 1
Heading 2
Info 2
Price 2
...etc
This should then be added into the correct places in an HTML document.
The user never really needs to see this HTML page but it is the only way I can think of getting the correct layout with images etc. that will be needed for the PDF.
This should then be converted into PDF.
If someone can please help with the first part of this problem, and then we can all work through the next stages when applicable?!
Thanks!!

Hi, Dave.
I did some pdf generation on www.DownloadAClue.com[^], but I didn't use HTML as an intermediate step. Instead, I found a PDF library and basically coded the layout for the files.
Do you have a specific need for the interim step, or is it just a matter of trying to avoid laying out the pdf manually?

Hi,
Trying to read the data from an excel spreadsheet in C# 2005, but there is an error as follows:
The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'Cities$'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.
The excel speadsheet is placed in the same place as Program.cs and the sheet name is indeed cities.
This is the code:
private void btnExcel_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string connectionString = @"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=Book1.xls;Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=YES;""";
DbProviderFactory factory = DbProviderFactories.GetFactory("System.Data.OleDb");
using (DbConnection connection = factory.CreateConnection())
{
connection.ConnectionString = connectionString;
using (DbCommand command = connection.CreateCommand())
{
// Cities$ comes from the name of the worksheet
command.CommandText = "SELECT ID,City,State FROM [Cities$]";
connection.Open();
using (DbDataReader dr = command.ExecuteReader()) //fails here...
{
while (dr.Read())
{
Console.WriteLine(dr["ID"].ToString());
}
}
}
}
}

Are you sure the page has the same name?
|
|
|
|
|
When I open the file Book1.xls, the sheet name is Cities whereas in the select query I am using [Cities$]. used Cities instead but no change.

The Book1.xls needs to be in the same directory as your .exe. Place the Book1.xls file in the \bin\Debug directory if you are debugging and in \bin\Release if you are running in release mode.

I don't know how to generate a random string.
Please help me.
I have Visual Studio 2003.

Depends on how random you want it...
Though, System.Random class should do it. Take the random double and to a ToString() on it.
|
|
|
|
|
Can you elaborate a little bit more? Is it a fixed length? is there a min size or max size? What characters can you use? 0-9 and a-Z or special chars too?

create an array of chars and create each char as a random string using the random class.

Hi All,
I developed a component for which I use the OnMouseWheel event to implement a zoom function. Originally, my component derived from System.Windows.Forms.Form ; and everything was good.
Later, I decided i wanted to host the component inside of a SplitContainer, and since SplitContainer won't take a form, I had to convert the component to inherit Control.
Everything works fine, except that the OnMouseWheel event is never fired. If i add a handler for the form's MouseWheel event, that is fired, my my control never receives the message.
I can't see any reason for this in MSDN. Anyone got any ideas or pointers on how i can have my control receive the mouse wheel scroll messages?
Thanks
Jon

write following code after your initialize componenet
this.myControl.MouseDown += new System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventHandler(this.myControl.MyControl_MouseDown);

thanks for the reply, but what has that got to do with my mouse wheel question?

Good day
I get a JIT error when i try to run my application from a network share. It throws a SecurityException. Try to catch this exception through code has been fruitless.
Is there a way to catch or guard against this error? Or is there a way around it?
Thanks
