Can anyone help me on how can I validate given DateTime between two DateTime using vb.net?
the given DateTime must not in between the two DateTime..
You can compare date instances the same way you would compare numbers as they override the LessThan, LessThanOrEqual, GreaterThan and GreaterThanOrEqual operators:
Dim minDate = New DateTime(2009, 4, 17)
Dim maxDate = New DateTime(2011, 4, 17)
Dim selectedDate = New DateTime(2010, 4, 17)
If selectedDate > minDate And selectedDate < maxDate Then
Console.WriteLine("selected date is valid")
Else
Console.WriteLine("selected date is invalid")
End If
Use DateTime.Compare
Dim date1 As New DateTime(100)
Dim date2 As New DateTime(200)
Dim workingDate As New DateTime(150)
If DateTime.Compare(workingDate , date1) >= 0 AND DateTime.Compare(workingDate , date2) <= 0 Then
Console.WriteLine("Between")
Else
Console.WriteLine("Not Between")
End If
Dim dt As Date = DateTimePicker1.Value.Date
If dt < CDate("2010-04-01") Or dt > CDate("2010-04-10") Then
MessageBox.Show("Date is not in the first 10 days of April so is ok")
End If

I wish to change startDate depending on the day of the week. Here is what I've tried, the error I get is BC30311: Value of type 'Integer' cannot be converted to 'Date'.
Dim curr As Date = Date.Now
Dim day As String = Date.Today.DayOfWeek.ToString()
Dim startTime As New Date
If day="saturday" Then
startTime=(curr.Year, curr.Month, curr.Day, 17, 0, 0)
Else
startTime=(curr.Year, curr.Month, curr.Day, 13, 0, 0)
End If
Dim endTime As New Date(curr.Year, curr.Month, curr.Day, 21, 59, 0)
If (curr >= startTime) And (curr <= endTime) Then
'''Some Code
I simply need to change startDate to 13:00 hours for Saturdays. Any help appreciated
This is a better way to write code to do what you appear to want to do:
Dim currentDay = Date.Today
Dim startTime = currentDay.AddHours(If(currentDay.DayOfWeek = DayOfWeek.Saturday, 17, 13))
Dim endTime = currentDay.AddHours(21).AddMinutes(59)
Dim currentTime = Date.Now
If currentTime >= startTime AndAlso currentTime <= endTime Then
enter image description hereHow to count someday to someday without holiday and Saturday , Sunday (VB) by use Date time picker
for leave people system
help me please!
from the picture
left is date start and right is end date
then if I select date both. then count day on the textbox... without Sunday Saturday and Holiday that on Access database...
Count days from start to finish that are not Saturday or Sunday:
Dim startDate As Date = New DateTime(2016, 1, 1)
Dim endDate As Date = DateTime.Now
Dim currentDate = startDate
Dim daysWithoutSatOrSun As Integer = 0
Do
If currentDate.DayOfWeek <> DayOfWeek.Saturday AndAlso currentDate.DayOfWeek <> DayOfWeek.Sunday Then
daysWithoutSatOrSun += 1
End If
currentDate = currentDate.AddDays(1)
Loop Until currentDate > endDate
MessageBox.Show("Days " & daysWithoutSatOrSun)
One readable option is to use LINQ:
Dim days As Int32 = (d2 - d1).Days
Dim weekend = {DayOfWeek.Saturday, DayOfWeek.Sunday }
Dim nonWeekendDays = From d in Enumerable.Range(0, days + 1)
Select day = d1.Date.AddDays(d)
Where Not weekend.Contains(day.DayOfWeek)
Dim countOfDays As Int32 = nonWeekendDays.Count()
If you have List(Of Date) which contains the holidays you can add:
Where Not weekend.Contains(day.DayOfWeek) AndAlso Not holidays.Contains(day)
Ok I cannot think of a algorithm to do this using vb.net.
so here is the 3 variable
Dim DateFrom as date = '01/09/2015'
Dim DateNow as date = Date.Now
Dim Holiday() as date '' <-- List of holiday dates
So what I want to do is I want to get the "Day" diffdate From DateFrom and DateNow and excluding the minus the date in the Holiday() array and also saturday Sunday.
so let say my DateFrom is '01/09/2015' which is Tuesday and my
DateNow is '09/09/2015' which is also tuesday and inside the Holiday() array there's '4/09/2015' Friday. the output of diffdate is suppose to be 5 Day since since (DateNow ---Difference Day minus Holiday()array and also minus saturday and sunday -- DateFrom)
I scratches my head about 152.5 times and still cannot find the way to do this.
I think you can solve this problem using something like this:
Dim intTotalDays As Integer = 0
Dim dtStartDate As New DateTime(2015, 10, 1)
Dim dtEndDate As New DateTime(2015, 10, 31)
Dim Holidays As DateTime() = {
New DateTime(2015, 10, 15),
New DateTime(2015, 10, 17)
}
For i As Integer = 0 To DateDiff(DateInterval.Day, dtStartDate, dtEndDate)
Dim dtDay As DateTime = DateAdd(DateInterval.Day, i, dtStartDate)
If Not dtDay.DayOfWeek = DayOfWeek.Saturday And Not dtDay.DayOfWeek = DayOfWeek.Sunday And Not Holidays.Contains(dtDay) Then
intTotalDays += 1
End If
Next i
MsgBox(intTotalDays)
So you want to determine the number of working-days between two dates?
You can use following LINQ query:
Dim DateFrom As Date = #9/1/2015#
Dim Holiday() As Date = {#9/4/2015#}
Dim Weekend() As DayOfWeek = {DayOfWeek.Saturday, DayOfWeek.Sunday}
Dim days As Int32 = (Date.Today - DateFrom).Days + 1 '+ 1 to include end day '
Dim workingDaysBetween =
From d In Enumerable.Range(0, days)
Let day = DateFrom.AddDays(d)
Where Not Weekend.Contains(day.DayOfWeek) AndAlso Not Holiday.Contains(day)
Dim countDays As Int32 = workingDaysBetween.Count()
Given today's date want to get the date of the each Friday for the last four weeks.
Here is an easy LINQ approach:
Dim today = Date.Today
Dim lastFridays = From d In Enumerable.Range(0, Int32.MaxValue)
Let dt = today.AddDays(-d)
Where dt.DayOfWeek = DayOfWeek.Friday
Select dt
Dim lastFourFridays As Date() = lastFridays.Take(4).ToArray()
Since it's not the most efficient approach, here is a query that is still readable and maintainable but only searches the first friday and then takes only every 7th day:
Dim lastFriday = lastFridays.First() ' reuse of above query '
Dim fridays = From d In Enumerable.Range(0, Int32.MaxValue)
Let dt = lastFriday.AddDays(-d * 7)
Select dt
Dim lastFourFridays As Date() = fridays.Take(4).ToArray()
You may consume this one, which returns a list of such dates and excludes the one if the specifiedDate date is Friday:
Public Shared Function GetLastFourFridays(specifiedDate As DateTime) As List(Of DateTime)
Dim dtm As New List(Of DateTime)()
Dim dt As DateTime = specifiedDate
For i As Integer = 0 To 6
dt = dt.AddDays(-1)
If dt.DayOfWeek = DayOfWeek.Friday Then
dtm.Add(dt)
Exit For
End If
Next
dtm.Add(dt.AddDays(-7))
dtm.Add(dt.AddDays(-14))
dtm.Add(dt.AddDays(-21))
Return dtm
End Function
and the way you use it is:
Dim dtm As List(Of DateTime) = GetLastFourFridays(DateTime.Now)
For Each d As var In dtm
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Date: {0}, Day: {1}", d.ToString(), [Enum].Parse(GetType(DayOfWeek), d.DayOfWeek.ToString())))
Next
Here is my way:
Function Last4Friday(ByVal StartDate As Date) As array
Dim L4F()
Dim mDate as date = StartDate
For value As Integer = 1 To 7
mDate = mDate.AddDays(-1)
If mDate.DayOfWeek = DayOfWeek.Friday Then
L4F = {mDate, mDate.AddDays(-7), mDate.AddDays(-14), mDate.AddDays(-21)}
exit for
End If
Next
Return L4F
End Function
Edit: If you need to check the inserted date and you want it returned in the array you may simply use:
Dim mDate as date = StartDate.AddDays(1)
instead of
Dim mDate as date = StartDate
Try this. It doesn't use a loop to find the starting Friday.
Dim someDate As DateTime = DateTime.Now
If someDate.DayOfWeek <> DayOfWeek.Friday Then
'do the math to get a Friday
someDate = someDate.AddDays(DayOfWeek.Friday - someDate.AddDays(1).DayOfWeek - 6)
End If
Dim last4Fridays As New List(Of DateTime) From {someDate, someDate.AddDays(-7), someDate.AddDays(-14), someDate.AddDays(-21)}
All of the other suggestions have used a loop to find the starting Friday. If this code is used infrequently then how the starting Friday is determined might not matter.
edit: as function
Function FindLastFourFridays(someDate As DateTime) As List(Of DateTime)
'Find first Friday to include
If someDate.DayOfWeek <> DayOfWeek.Friday Then
someDate = someDate.AddDays(DayOfWeek.Friday - someDate.AddDays(1).DayOfWeek - 6)
' uncomment these two lines if you do not want initial someDate.DayOfWeek = DayOfWeek.Friday to be included
'Else
' someDate = someDate.AddDays(-7)
End If
'build the return (four fridays)
Dim last4Fridays As New List(Of DateTime) From {someDate, someDate.AddDays(-7), someDate.AddDays(-14), someDate.AddDays(-21)}
Return last4Fridays
End Function
This function does not need to be passed a date it picks up today's date and gets the last four Friday's from today. It can be changed around to get any day of the week.
Dim todaysDate As Date = Date.Today
Dim oldDay As Integer
Dim thisWeek As Date
Dim firstWeek As Date
Dim secondWeek As Date
Dim thirdWeek As Date
Dim fourthWeek As Date
'finds the Friday of the end of the current week No mattter what day you are working
Dim daycount As Integer
'use this to check specific dates "Dim datetime As New DateTime(2015, 4, 13)"
oldDay = Weekday(todaysDate)
thisWeek = todaysDate
If oldDay < 6 Then
daycount = 6 - oldDay
thisWeek = thisWeek.AddDays(+daycount)
ElseIf oldDay > 6 Then
daycount = oldDay - 6
thisWeek = thisWeek.AddDays(-daycount)
End If
Dim currentDate As Date = Now
Do While Not currentDate.DayOfWeek = DayOfWeek.Friday
currentDate = currentDate.AddDays(-1)
Loop
fourthWeek = currentDate.AddDays(-21)
thirdWeek = currentDate.AddDays(-14)
secondWeek = currentDate.AddDays(-7)
firstWeek = currentDate
How to find week's starting date between two dates.
Example:
date1: 4th March 2014.
date2: 18th March 2014.
Then it should return list of weeks begining date as
2014-03-03, 2014-03-10, 2014-03-17
So first you want to get the first day of the week of the start-date? This gives your desired list:
Dim firstDate = New Date(2014, 3, 4)
Dim daysToFirstDay As Int32 = DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.FirstDayOfWeek - firstDate.DayOfWeek
firstDate = firstDate.AddDays(daysToFirstDay) ' -1 day in this case
Dim lastDate = New Date(2014, 3, 17)
Dim days As Int32 = (lastDate - firstDate).Days + 1 ' including last
Dim result As List(Of Date) = Enumerable.Range(0, days).
Select(Function(d) firstDate.AddDays(d)).
Where(Function(day) day.DayOfWeek = DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.FirstDayOfWeek).
ToList()
It's using LINQ to create a range of Dates between the start-and end-date. Then it uses the current DateTimeFormatInfo's FirstDayOfWeek property to return only week-starting days.
Function GetWeekStartDates(startDate As Date, endDate As Date) As List(Of Date)
Dim result As New List(Of Date)
Dim checkDate = startDate
Dim Is1stWeek As Boolean = True
Do While checkDate <= endDate
If checkDate.DayOfWeek = DayOfWeek.Monday Then
result.Add(checkDate)
If Is1stWeek Then Is1stWeek = False
Else
If Is1stWeek Then
result.Add(checkDate.AddDays(-checkDate.DayOfWeek + 1))
Is1stWeek = False
End If
End If
checkDate = checkDate.AddDays(1)
Loop
Return result
End Function
