[Help]Now Date/Now Day

[Shark23]

Right now in VB I'm using a "DateInterval.Month" procedure and a "DateInterval.Day" procedure. Right now this is saying that it is February 4th. Is there a way to change that? I need the current date.

[Bombsaway707]

If you trying to find the date just do Today.
Ex: Label1.text = today

I need to check whether textbox1 = current month and textbox2 = current day.

if u want the time with the date it's:

now

I KNOW AMAZING RIGHT?

[Shark23]

Uhhhh, no I don't need the time. Like I said before, I need to check whether or not TextBox1.Text = Current Month and TextBox2.Text = Current Day.

First

Namespace
[php]
Imports System.Globalization
Imports System.Threading
[/php]

Form Load Event or whatever triggers the event
I used a button

[php]
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim Info As CultureInfo = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture
Dim Curmonth As String = Info.DateTimeFormat.GetMonthName(DateTime.Now.Mont h)
Dim Curday As String = Info.DateTimeFormat.GetDayName(DateTime.Now.Day)
TextBox1.Text = Curmonth
TextBox2.Text = Curday
End sub
[/php]

My code will get the current month and current day and display them into separate text boxes.

Have fun

Still not working. Alright, so this program has 3 textboxes and a button. Textbox1 is for the month. Textbox2 is for the day. Textbox3 is for your name. I'm trying to input the month number(1-12) in textbox1 and the day number(1-31) in textbox2. If textbox1's text is the current month and textbox2's text is the current day, the messagebox displays a message. Right now I have:

        Dim Info As CultureInfo = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture
        Dim Curmonth As String = Info.DateTimeFormat.GetMonthName(DateTime.Now.Month)
        Dim Curday As String = Info.DateTimeFormat.GetDayName(DateTime.Now.Day)
        Dim strMonth As String
        Dim strDay As String
        Dim strName As String

        strName = txtName.Text
        strMonth = txtMonth.Text
        strDay = txtDay.Text

        If Curmonth = strMonth And Curday = strDay Then
            'Current date equals entered date
            MessageBox.Show("'Message here'")
        Else
            'Current date does not equal entered date
            MessageBox.Show("'Message here'")
        End If
    End Sub

Slight error in my code

I apologize

[php]
Dim Info As CultureInfo = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture
Dim Curmonth As String = Info.DateTimeFormat.GetMonthName(DateTime.Now.Mont h)
Dim Curday As String = Info.DateTimeFormat.GetDayName(DateTime.Today.DayO fWeek)
TextBox1.Text = Curmonth
TextBox2.Text = Curday
[/php]


This should work

Your code should be

[php]
Dim Info As CultureInfo = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture
Dim Curmonth As String = Info.DateTimeFormat.GetMonthName(DateTime.Now.Mont h)
Dim Curday As String = Info.DateTimeFormat.GetDayName(DateTime.Today.DayO fWeek)
Dim strMonth As String
Dim strDay As String
Dim strName As String

strName = TextBox1.Text
strMonth = TextBox2.Text
strDay = TextBox3.Text

If Curmonth = strMonth And Curday = strDay Then
'Current date equals entered date
MessageBox.Show("'Message here'")
Else
'Current date does not equal entered date
MessageBox.Show("'Message here'")
End If
End Sub
[/php]

Dim Curmonth As String = Info.DateTimeFormat.GetMonthName(DateTime.Now.Mont h)
Dim Curday As String = Info.DateTimeFormat.GetDayName(DateTime.Today.DayO fWeek)
TextBox1.Text = Curmonth
TextBox2.Text = Curday
[/php]

Your code should be

[php]
Dim Info As CultureInfo = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture
Dim Curmonth As String = Info.DateTimeFormat.GetMonthName(DateTime.Now.Mont h)

Dim strMonth As String
Dim strDay As String
Dim strName As String

strName = TextBox1.Text
strMonth = TextBox2.Text
strDay = TextBox3.Text

If Curmonth = strMonth And Curday = strDay Then
'Current date equals entered date
MessageBox.Show("'Message here'")
Else
'Current date does not equal entered date
MessageBox.Show("'Message here'")
End If
End Sub
[/php]

Almost perfect. I need the day of the month(1-31) not the day of the week(Sunday-Saturday) but thanks a lot! This was really frustrating. Thanks!

EDIT: Got it working perfectly now!

Good to hear it was resolved

[Sixx93]

use the datatimepicker utility

use the datatimepicker utility

Issue already resolved, and using components in a situation where it is not needed is bad coding tactics
