If there is a better newsgroup to post this in, please let me know.
I am a relatively new VB.NET/SQL 2000 programmer.
I am working with data imported into SQL2K from Access. Many of the dates
are null, such as the terminate date with current employees.
I have written the search function to find a certain employee, and now I am
editing the selected records. Several of the fields are date fields, and I
am trying to format them so they display just dates, not dates and times.
I have data bound the fields from the stored procedures to the controls on
the edit page, but I do not seem to be able to apply a format to them.
In addition, if the dates come from the database Null and the user does not
change them I want to the leave the field null. But I cannot find a way to
a pass a parameter to the store procedure to represent this Null.
Any help would be appreciated.

Jeff,
There are no "Date" fields in SQL server, Access, Windows or Net. It are all
DATETIME field whatever name they have. If you get them withouth a time,
than you have probabably tranformed them to strings or something like that.

Take the value you get from the database field and do something like this:
DateValue = Date.Parse(dbDa teTime).ToShort DateString
-or-
DateValue = Date.Parse(dbDa teTime).ToLongD ateString

Hi
Being new to mysql I have some queries about formatting a date column
1. Can I use dd-mm-yy, my website is Australian
2. Can I leave the date field in one row empty if the date is unknown.
3. If I only know the year an event took place, can I enter just the
year.

Hello Everyone and thanks for your help in advance. I am developing an application that utilizes a separate class library for data access to a SQL Server database. One of the tables has several fields defined as DateTime. The data access layer exposes properties for each field in the table. In the instance of datetime fields, the class returns a property of date type. The problem occurs when one of the datetime fields is NULL, which results in a...

I know this is a very common issue but cannot find a thread that
resolves the issue.
I need to re-format my dates to "MMM d, yyyy". The problem I have is I
have an MSSQL database that allows <NULLS>.
I'm using this code to format the dates:
<%# IIF((dsCase.FieldValue("inj_beg", Container) <>
nothing),DateTime.Parse(dsCase.FieldValue("inj_beg",
Container)).ToString("MMM d, yyyy"), "") %>

I am trying to display dates in a spreadsheet, but the dates need to be in a
format that will allow them to be sorted in Excel. The datatype in the SQL

because the time is used in other places.
So what I am doing is pulling it out of the database, then modifying it in

If I need to format how the content of a field is displayed, I can

Is there a way to apply the same kind of formatting to more than one

I click ALT + ENTER I don't have the option to choose formatting.
Also, how can I format dates as dates? I have a table...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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,...
