Converting Date To String - Use Field To Group Item
Feb 11, 2010
I have createdate field in a table and I want to use that field to group items in a gridview based on the date. For instance, if the datediff is less than 25 hours ago then I want to show the word "Today" or if greater than 24 but less than 48 hours show the word "Yesterday" etc.
I am reading a dataset/datatable where I have a a varchar field (25) that represents date and time in following format (this is orginally a db timestamp format): 2010-05-03 08:48:00.000 Prior to binding the datatable to a gridview I need to show date time as: 5/3/2010 8:48:00. How can I easily convert to the needed format?
I have a query that converts my string value I have stored in the database (nchar(8)). I have a stored procedure that gets the value and converts to date and when I run the select part of my stored proc to test it it successfully returns the mm/dd/yy format that I want: ex: 02/28/2010 However when I call this stored proc from my program I am getting an exception:
<Exception> Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string.
</Exception> Puzzled why the query works fine but .net gives me an exception? does anyone know how to solve this?
The part of my query that does this conversion is:
I have this example and it gives me exception "Conversion from string x to dateTime is invalid"
here is my method to validate Datetime.
Example Date string : "27/03/1985"
Public Function validateDateColumn(ByRef FieldName As String) As Boolean
Try If IsDate(FieldName) Then Dim actualDate As DateTime = CDate(FieldName) Dim DtLicExp As DateTime = CDate(actualDate.ToString("d", Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture)) FieldName = DtLicExp.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy") Return True End If Catch ex As Exception 'FieldName &= "Format must be MM/dd/yyyy" Return False End Try End Function
validate this date string formate to datetime.
I want to convert this date "27/03/1985" to datetime.
I have problem in converting date to string I am using cstr(p.tripstart) , which is returning Date as 12 Aug 2010 12:AM I need to make formating This is my code :
using sql server 2005. I am working with an existing database field and there is a field where the string in this format: YYYYMMDD, for example 05/16/2002 is displayed as:
<example> 20020516 </example>
anyways I am trying to convert that string to a date like so:
[Code]....
however when I try to do this I am getting the following error <ERROR>
Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime. </ERROR>
does anyone know a good solution for this? I just want to convert the string to datetime so I can use the value in my WHERE clause.
I have a detailsView whose date values in a cell are currently being displayed in longDateFormat, i want to convert all date values in this DetailsView to short date.
For example, instead of 6/1/2010 12:00:00 AM, i want to display just 6/1/2010
For a Gridview, i can achieve that by the code blow
Protected Sub DetailsView4_DataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DetailsView4.DataBound If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then For i As Integer = 0 To e.Row.Cells.Count - 1 Dim cellDate As Date If Date.TryParse(e.Row.Cells(i).Text, cellDate) Then e.Row.Cells(i).Text = String.Format("{0:d}", cellDate) End If Next End If End Sub
we are using transactional replication on an sql 2008 server. we try now to add a table to the replication that only consists of 1 culomn of type date and we insert the dates to the table. when we then create the replication we are getting an error on the creation of the snapshot. here is the create table with the insert dates:
USE [Product] GO /****** Object: Table [TimeSlices].[BaseDate] Script Date: 05/03/2010 15:52:24 ******/ IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[TimeSlices].[BaseDate]') AND type in (N'U')) DROP TABLE [TimeSlices].[BaseDate] GO USE [Product] GO /****** Object: Table [TimeSlices].[BaseDate] Script Date: 05/03/2010 15:52:24 ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO CREATE TABLE [TimeSlices].[BaseDate]( [TargetDate] [date] NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_BaseDate] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [TargetDate] ASC )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY] ) ON [PRIMARY] GO INSERT INTO [TimeSlices].[BaseDate] SELECT TargetDate FROM [TimeSlices].UDF_GetTravelDateRange(GETDATE()-2 , GETDATE()+1000) attached is the UDF: [Code].... this is the add article: use [Product] exec sp_addarticle @publication = N'Product$(QuoteNumber)', @article = N'BaseDate', @source_owner = N'TimeSlices', @source_object = N'BaseDate', @type = N'logbased', @description = null, @creation_script = null, @pre_creation_cmd = N'drop', @schema_option = 0x000000000803509F, @identityrangemanagementoption = N'manual', @destination_table = N'BaseDate', @destination_owner = N'TimeSlices', @vertical_partition = N'false', @ins_cmd = N'CALL sp_MSins_TimeSlicesBaseDate', @del_cmd = N'CALL sp_MSdel_TimeSlicesBaseDate', @upd_cmd = N'SCALL sp_MSupd_TimeSlicesBaseDate' GO
this is the error we get:

why we are getting the conversion error on the snapshot creation?

I have an item template field retrieving a date field from an Oracle 11g database that can be null. The date is converted to a string before binding to the gridview. When the column is sorted is is being sorted as a string. I have read in several places if you add a formatting string to the eval statement in the item template that the sort operation will then sort the string as a date. However, I cannot get it to work. I also tried a bound column, but the column is still being sorted as a string.Code from the aspx page:

I've a table with datetime null field in sql server. I'm trying to group the results based on the year in that field. But, when I wrote linq query, I didn't get intellisense for Year when I type that field. It only shows HasValue and Value. I think because it is converted nullable type. How do I do the grouping in this case?
