My application asks the user to enter in a date - in the mm/dd/yyyy format. Is there any quick and easy way to verify the date the user enters is formatted correctly? Right now I'm calling DateTime.Parse() and catching the FormatException but it seems this is a bit inefficient - catching the exception that is. There is some pretty obvious delay while it traces back up the call stack. Is there a better way? Something that returns a bool...

I have a string variable that holds the equivalent of a DateTime value. I pulled this datetime from the database and I want to strip off the time portion before displaying to the user. I am using C# eg. - String variable "strMyDate" holds the value "1/1/2005 12:00:00 AM" from the database. - I do not care about the time portion, I only want "1/1/2005" for display.

I was wondering if there is any way for me to read the device manager in my C# program? I have a program that crashes when some third party hardware is not installed or is set to the wrong port and I could solve that problem if I could read a couple entries from the registry. Thanks in advance, ~Logan

The goal is to let the C# app use STDOUT to get feedback from the app after it starts. The problem is that the reading of STDOUT is blocking when the "EndRead" is called as such: ============================================

Hello everybody, Jay and Herfried are telling me every time when I use CDate that using the datetime.parseexact is always the best way to do String to datetime conversions. They don't tell why only that I have to listen to them because they know it better. They told also that in a business situation it is better to use datetime.parseexact for changing cultures and not to use the globalization setting. I did not give them this sample,...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
