I am developing in VS2008 Express Edition using ASP.net and VB.net. I would like to record the local time when something happens in the application (say a button is pressed). If you use the Now() function, it returns the Servers time. I want the time on the local computer. I have searched high and low and am baffled this is not needed more often. There is practically no mention of it on the web. Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Karl Tomecek

This question really belongs in the ASP.NET forum. It has nothing to do with VB.NET at all.
There is nothing that the browser sends to your ASP.NET code that will tell you what timezone the client is in. You'll probably have to use JavaScript code in the page to set a hidden field with the clients time when the form is submitted back to your server to get the client time, or at least the timezone the client is in. Your ASP.NET code would then have to parse the date time value found in the hidden field to get at this information.

I beleive it is available in the environment variables which can be got at via JS

Does that also apply to JavaScript running in a browser on a *nix box??

|

I see what you mean, I may be thinking of the win env vars. Is there a equivalent to the var set in *nix is probably the relevant ?

I think it would be possible via the Javascript. First get the time via jscript and then submit the form.

Thanks for all your input. It helped me find a great website with a video that more or less shows you how to do this. In the end, it was done with Javascript storing the date in a hidden variable and then the app has access to that data. Here is the link in case anyone ever needs to learn how to do this:

Thanks to you all once again...

i'm having an major performance issue with a concatination query i wrote against a datatable and was looking for a way to either speed up the query or a whole nother way of doing it which performs better...
at present my app spends 2 min processing this one loop, while i can do the two loops individually in about 5 seconds.
Here is the code:
<code>
For Each dr As DataRow In Main.DS_New.Tables(RightTable).Select(filter, "location,type desc")
Dim CATValues As String = Nothing
If dr.RowState <> DataRowState.Deleted And dr.RowState <> DataRowState.Detached Then
Select Case dr("name").ToString.ToLower
Case "value"
For Each DRsameLocation As DataRow In Main.DS_New.Tables(RightTable).Select(filter & " AND PK<>" & dr("PK") & " AND Location='" & dr("Location") & "' AND type='" & dr("type") & "' AND Name='" & dr("Name") & "'")
CATValues += Chr(215) & DRsameLocation("loc") & Chr(214) & DRsameLocation("value")
DRsameLocation.Delete()
Next
If CATValues = Nothing Then
dr("value") = dr("loc") & Chr(214) & dr("value")
Else
dr("value") = dr("loc") & Chr(214) & dr("value") & CATValues
dr("loc") = "MV"
End If
End Select
End If
Next
</code>

This would probably be better done on the database side with a stored procedure. Look into the COALESCE sql function.
|
|
|
|
|
unfortunatly since the data is in a datatable, and not in SQL, that is not an option.

Hello,
I have attached a VB program done in VB 2008 which adds annotations to an Acrobat PDF file specified by the user. So far, it works like a champ. However, my ultimate goal is to build a VB 2008 application that inserts metadata into the "Title", "Author", "Subject" and "Keywords" fields that are accessible from the Description tab of the Document Properties dialog box on the Acrobat "File" menu. I can do this in Acrobat's built-in JavaScript debugger just fine. For instance, the following will insert Harry Wishes into the author field.
this.info.author = "Harry Wishes"
My question: How do I invoke the Javascript object from Visual Basic 2008 that could access and modify this PDF metadata from Visual Basic? Help Apprectiated. Thanks! 
Public Class Form1
Dim gApp As Acrobat.CAcroApp
<p>
Private Sub Form1_Load()
gApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
End Sub
<p>
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim pdDoc As Acrobat.CAcroPDDoc
Dim page As Acrobat.CAcroPDPage
Dim jso As Object
Dim path As String
Dim point(1) As Integer
Dim popupRect(3) As Integer
Dim pageRect As Object
Dim annot As Object
Dim props As Object
<p>
OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
path = OpenFileDialog1.FileName
pdDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
If pdDoc.Open(path) Then
jso = pdDoc.GetJSObject
If Not jso Is Nothing Then
' Get size for page 0 and setup arrays
page = pdDoc.AcquirePage(0)
pageRect = page.GetSize
point(0) = 0
point(1) = pageRect.y
popupRect(0) = 0
popupRect(1) = pageRect.y - 100
popupRect(2) = 200
popupRect(3) = pageRect.y
' Create a new text annot
annot = jso.AddAnnot
props = annot.getProps
props.Type = "Text"
annot.setProps(props)
' Fill in a few fields
props = annot.getProps
props.page = 1
props.point = point
props.popupRect = popupRect
props.author = "Rob McAfee"
props.noteIcon = "Comment"
props.strokeColor = jso.Color.red
props.Contents = "I added this comment from Visual Basic!"
annot.setProps(props)
pdDoc.Close()
MsgBox("Annotation added to " & path)
Else
MsgBox("Failed to open " & path)
End If
End If
pdDoc = Nothing
End Sub
<p>
End Class</p></p></p></p>

That's going to be a function of the PDF Library you're using, if it's exposed at all. Without the documentation on that library, your next bet is to use the Object Browser window (F2 in Visual Studio) to explore the libraries object model, looking for some methods and/or properties that might do this for you.

Dear Sir,

Dim str as string

What you need is the ability to send raw data to the printer. This[^] is an example of what you're looking for.

how to capture hidden control and save in bmp format
|
|
|
|
|
You have to sit down between the shrubs besides the road your application, trying to avoid noises so you don't scare it off. Then, when the control emerges from its hideout, hit it hard with a club on its head, but avoid injuring it too bad, then put it into your bmp-format, which you hopefully brought along with you in a suitable size.

Just wondering, if I have an app.config file with a range of values including:
<add key="DeleteEmails" value="no">
If this entry is deleted from the config file, what will be returned if I try to read from it in my program?
|
|

|

It will crash, you need to write code that catches this exception and returns a default.

I am making an appliaction where i need to open a file and save it in different place.
Now the file type is .doc, so i need to open the file in MS Word (Its a stand alone application and user may use MS Word 2003 or 2007), with in the application or out side the application, till now i am comfortable to do. The problem raises when its time to save the application.
When i am trying to save it through MS Word, it actually show the save dialog box. Which has to be blocked as i need to save the file only at one particular location, through code.
Can any one tell me how to block Save button (New and Open are always bloked by default) (OR) block Standard tool bar in MS Word. And to block Menu bar in MS Word.
Any help would be greet...
It very urgent please help me...

Hi can you post the code you're using to save the file. I might be able to help with that.
