I have some code to convert a date to the unixdatetime representation (number
of seconds since 1970). Only problem is that it only counts from the whole
day, it ignores the times part. So convert 1/1/1970 and 1/1/1970 8:00:00 AM
both return 0 but the last should return 28800.
My code:
Try
Dim dte As DateTime
dte = DateTime.Parse( CmdArgs(1))
Console.WriteLi ne(DateDiff(Dat eInterval.Secon d,
#1/1/1970#, dte))
Catch ex As Exception
Console.WriteLi ne(ex.Message)
End Try
When I try to add 12:00:00 AM to the date in the DateDiff funcion vs.net
removes that.
Any ideas?

Phil,
I tested again the method I showed you in your previous question about that.
It shows 28800 with the values you show now.
I hope this helps,

12:00 AM is midnight. It's *display* is optional. #1/1/1970 12:00 AM# and
#1/1/1970# are identical values.
Any ideas?
Use the solution I already gave you some days ago:
dim diff as double
diff = yourdate.subtra ct(#1/1/1970#).totalsec onds

Cor try this with command line app:
Try
Dim dte As DateTime
dte = DateTime.Parse( CmdArgs(1))
Console.WriteLi ne(CType(dte.Su btract(New
System.DateTime (1970, 1, 1)), TimeSpan).Total Seconds.ToStrin g())
Catch ex As Exception
Console.WriteLi ne(ex.Message)
End Try
Seems that conversion of commandline argument to datetime is going wrong.
Any thoughts on that?

Armin I run it like this

Hi
I think you may try to enbrace the 1/1/1970 4:00:00 am into a "" , as
"1/1/1970 4:00:00 am".
Or it will be broken into three strings 1/1/1970, 4:00:00 ,am in the
Environment.Get CommandLineArgs ().

Philip,
That is not the code I gave you.
Translated to this problem it is this
MessageBox.Show (CType(New Date(1970, 1, 1, 8, 0, 0).Subtract(New
System.DateTime (1970, 1, 1)), TimeSpan).Total Seconds.ToStrin g)
Or broken up
dim dt8Oclock as datetime = New Date(1970, 1, 1, 8, 0, 0)
dim dt0Oclock as datetiem = New Date(1970, 1, 1)
Messagebox.Show (CType(dt8Ocloc k).Subtract(dt0 Oclock)),TimeSp an).TotalSecond s.ToString
I use the ISO times because that is in every culture the same.
I hope this helps,
Cor
Philip,
I was looking at the wrong code, so it is the code I gave you, however try
my sample that I added at the wrong place.
Translated to this problem it is this
MessageBox.Show (CType(New Date(1970, 1, 1, 8, 0, 0).Subtract(New
System.DateTime (1970, 1, 1)), TimeSpan).Total Seconds.ToStrin g)
I use the ISO times because that is in every culture the same.
And than to set your date to a string try for that
dte = CDate(CmdArgs(1 ))
My expirience is that using CDate helps to overcome a lot of problems.
I hope this helps,
If not reply than I try a test with setting the culture first (tell than
what that is).

Arguments are separated by blanks, thus the 2nd arg in CmdArgs(1) is
"1/1/1970" only.

Ladies and gentlemen,
I've imported some data from a MySQL database into a Python dictionary. I'm
attempting to tidy up the date fields, but I'm receiving a
'mx.DateTime.Error: cannot convert value to a time value' error. It's
related to glibc returning an error to a pre-1970 date, I think.
My question: /how/ do I go through the Python direction I've created to
remove the pre-1970 date objects? Ideally, I would be able to iterate...

It's official....Convert blows.
I ran a number of tests converting a double to an integer usingboth Convert & CType. I *ASSUMED* that CType would piggy-back ontop of Convert, and that performance would be identical.
I was 100% incorrect.
The code below produces the results:
CType Took: 0.2187528 seconds.
Convert Took: 12.187656 seconds.
