how to change the php code to asp.net code

[mukeshrasm]

Hi
the code written below is for calculating the number of days remain for a particular event based on the specific local time i.e. time in new york or time in london.

<style style="text/css">
 
.lcdstyle{ /*Example CSS to create LCD countdown look*/
background-color:black;
color:lime;
font: bold 18px MS Sans Serif;
padding: 3px;
}
 
.lcdstyle sup{ /*Example CSS to create LCD countdown look*/
font-size: 80%
}
 
</style>

in the above code how can I change the line var servertimestring=(servermode=="server-php")....... which is a php scripting and I want to change it to asp.net code so that I can run it.

how can I do it?

[Plater]

All I saw was javascript code there

[mukeshrasm]

in that javascript code some php code is also written at line 9 and when I run this code in .net it gives error and that is of php so i wanted to change/modify so that i can run/use this without error

[Plater]

Ok so it's just this line:
var servertimestring=(servermode=="server-php")? '<? print date("F d, Y H:i:s", time())?>' : (servermode=="server-ssi")? '<!--#config timefmt="%B %d, %Y %H:%M:%S"--><!--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL" -->' : '<%= Now() %>'

I'm not sure what that line does, just print the time in a specific format?

[Frinavale]

If that's the only line of PhP code that has to be converted to ASP.NET then you would probably just do something like:

var servertimestring=(servermode=="server-php")? '<%= theDate.ToString("dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss") %> : (servermode=="server-ssi")?'<%= Now() %>'

Mind you this line doesn't make sense to me..... but I think you get the point.

[Markus]

Hm, I don't see why you need either language. You're already using SSI, so why not use it in place of the PHP / ASP.NET?

[mukeshrasm]

but when I run this code it gives following error
Compiler Error Message: CS0103: The name 'Now' does not exist in the current context

so what i need to change in this code to run it correctly.

[mukeshrasm]

what is theDate.ToString here means where you have defined this?

[Frinavale]

"theDate" is a DateTime variable that contains the date.
theDate.ToString returns the string version of the date so that it can be displayed in a way that makes sense to people (dates are stored as numbers usually)

[mukeshrasm]

but it gives the error Compiler Error Message: CS0103: The name 'Now' does not exist in the current context

[Frinavale]

Try using DateTime.Now.
