Day of Birth generator...

[iHateProg]

I am looking for a day of birth generator that will use MONTH DATE AND YEAR born to generate the BIRTH DAY from 1900-2000.
Ex:- If someone was born on April 10, 1990. what day of the week were they born on?

Please help &

Thank you for any help.

I've just been messing in Vb as I thought this sounded like an interesting application to make. I found it quite easy to make with use of a calendar control.

I had the user input their date of birth in numeric format, then the calendar view zoomed to the date, and a label had the day found printed in it.

I would post my code here for it, but it'd be embarracing as it's probably a really long winded way as there is like 50 lines of code to it :o, but as always with my applications I've added to it. ^^

If you want me to post the code ask me and I will, but from what I've said I think it's quite self explanatory how to make it work.

Like I said in the PM, try searching for "Zellers congruence law". This has come up before on TheScripts. If you don't like the (other) thread that that search points to, then just search for things like weekday. It's a fairly frequent topic.

Just off the top of my head, if we assume you have three numbers dd, mm and yyyy, I guess you could use something like the DateSerial function to convert them to a date, and WeekDay function to get the day of the week. See the manual or online help for details of the functions.

Well good for you. You told the truth about it. On the second shot yes, but still you got there.

The policy of TSDN is not to complete assignments for students. If you are stuck on some technical issue and can show that you made a decent attempt then maybe we can guide you on that. Asking for full code answers, although tempting for you, will not work here.

Keep working at it and let us know how you are getting on with this project.

Sorry Scarlett. You have to do your own assignment/project

Of course I can't stop you from pm-ing the guys here and, i'm sure, getting into any kind of correspondence with a 17 year old woman will be more than their ethics can stand. Aint gonna happen in this forum though. Not while killer has his beady eyes on the process.
