select convert(varchar(28),@dt,131)

Where @dt is your datetime variable.

That's odd. Now it's coming out as:
3/02/1428 12:00:00:000AM

Now the time is right, but the date is odd. The offset seems about right for the Arabic year though (if I remember my Middle East history).

Sorry I didn't look close enough to the format it puts it in:
dd/mm/yy hh:mi:ss:mmmAM

Here is what I know:
Change the 131 to:

100 you get mon dd yyyy hh:miAM (or PM)
109 you get mon dd yyyy hh:mi:ss:mmmAM (or PM)

So then your date isn't formatted right. It is almost starting to look like you need to take the date part that is ok and then take the time part from 109

Anyway it is a bit more of a pain, but if you need that specific format here it is:
declare @dt datetime,
@time varchar(28),
@date varchar(30)
select @time = convert(varchar(28),@dt,109)
select @date = convert(varchar(30),@dt,112)
Select substring(@date,1,4)+'-'+substring(@date,5,2)+'-'+Substring(@date,7,2)+' '+ltrim(substring(@time,12,15))

idol...

i have 3 columns in my table the room,timeStart,timeEnd.
For example i have inserted this data
room: room1
timeStart: 2007-03-02 8:00 AM
timeEnd: 2007-03-02 3:00 PM

Here's the data that will not be accepted if try to insert
room: room1
timeStart: 2007-03-02 9:00 AM
timeEnd: 2007-03-02 4:00 PM
because the timestart is between the timeStart and the timeEnd. Room1 will only be occupied after 3:00 PM.

Can you help me with this?.
Thank you very Much

Bernie

I don't know if there is a very good way of doing this. No matter which way you do it, it will be a lot of work. Most likely you will need to have some table that keeps track of when each class can be in each room and then check that table before inserting the record. Good luck.

Can you tell me how to use the check Constraint for that?

I have never used a check constraint in the way you are wanting to use it. I am not sure it can be done. If all records getting inserted had a certain rule then a check constraint would be the correct one to use. I am under the impression that each record might have a different rule. In that case I would not use the check constraint.

ok can you teach me how to solved that? I dont know how to start my code for that.

It is going to be a complicated solution. I think you should just try your best and figure it out any way you can.

ok.. i will..thanks for that.
I have another question if ok.
you are so blessed ben,

How about rowfilter using textbox and dropdown?.

Bernie

kubben2-Mar-07 16:06

2-Mar-07 16:06

The rowfilter you can use in a DataView. I can't remeber if you do vb.net or C# but it is something like this:
DataView dv = yourdatatable.DefaultView;
dv.RowFilter = "columname = "+textbox.Text;

gridview.datasource = dv;
gridview.databind();

Anyway, that is what the C# looks like.

i got the answer Ben, just now. I just configure it in SQL data source.
thank you very much. I am just a beginner Ben thats why i am asking.

Can i have another question?..Hehe

Here is the content of the link:
Subtracts the specified date and time from this instance.

Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Function Subtract ( _
value As DateTime _
) As TimeSpan

Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As DateTime
Dim value As DateTime
Dim returnValue As TimeSpan

returnValue = instance.Subtract(value)

C#
public TimeSpan Subtract (
DateTime value
)

C++
public:
TimeSpan Subtract (
DateTime value
)

J#
public TimeSpan Subtract (
DateTime value
)

JScript
public function Subtract (
value : DateTime
) : TimeSpan

Parameters
value
An instance of DateTime.

Return Value
A TimeSpan interval equal to the date and time represented by this instance minus the date and time represented by value.
Exceptions
Exception type Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException
The result is less than MinValue or greater than MaxValue.

Remarks
This method does not change the value of this DateTime object. Instead, a new TimeSpan is returned whose value is the result of this operation.

Before subtracting DateTime objects, insure that the objects represent times in the same time zone. Otherwise, the result will include the difference between time zones.

Example
The following code example demonstrates the Subtract method and operator.

Visual Basic Copy Code
Dim date1 As New System.DateTime(1996, 6, 3, 22, 15, 0)
Dim date2 As New System.DateTime(1996, 12, 6, 13, 2, 0)
Dim date3 As New System.DateTime(1996, 10, 12, 8, 42, 0)

Dim diff1 As System.TimeSpan
' diff1 gets 185 days, 14 hours, and 47 minutes.
diff1 = date2.Subtract(date1)

Dim date4 As System.DateTime
' date4 gets 4/9/1996 5:55:00 PM.
date4 = date3.Subtract(diff1)

Dim diff2 As System.TimeSpan
' diff2 gets 55 days 4 hours and 20 minutes.
diff2 = System.DateTime.op_Subtraction(date2, date3)

Dim date5 As System.DateTime
' date5 gets 4/9/1996 5:55:00 PM.
date5 = System.DateTime.op_Subtraction(date1, diff2)
