format dateTime '06/08/2003 12:00' to '1 day ago'

Ted
I would like to format my date "06/08/2003 12:00" to something like "1 day
ago" or "24 hours ago". Is there a date format I can use to do this or does
anyone have any pointers as to how i could do this.

Any help much appreciated
Thanks

You can use DateTime.Parse passing your string.
Then you can substract 1 day

Alright..I've found lots of info on this error and most say assign System.DBNull.Value, System.Convert.DBNull, or System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlDateTime.Null to my stored proc param and the problem will be solved...NOT. I suspect all of these are the same thing, however, none solve my problem. What I have is vb.net code trying to put a null in a sql2000 datatime field. To further confuse things, it works on my PC and not from another. I...

When I copy a vb.net project using date formats from one PC with a windows date format f.e. dd/mm/yyyy to another PC having a format yy/mm/dd then I get errors. How can I change for a while in the project the date format in vb.code ( not in Windows) and how can I find out which date format the PC Windows is using. Thanks for any response

When I pass a null date from my client to my service project, it comes across as #12:00:00 AM#. While I can easily code for this, it seems like a hack. Is this normal? I'm using WCF, by the way. Thanks, Ron

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,...
