computing time

[martialdc]

Hi I have a TextBox1, TextBox2 and TextBox3 control in my VB.NET Project.

TextBox1.Text = 9:30:33 AM
TextBox2.Text = 10:33:22 AM

I put this code into the Click Event of the Button1.

Dim TimeIn As DateTime
Dim TimeOut As DateTime

TimeIn = TextBox1.Text
TimeOut = TextBox2.Text

TextBox3.Text = Format((Int(TimeOut.Subtract(TimeIn).TotalMinutes) / 60), "hh:mm:ss")


But this code is doesn't work well!


The TextBox3 display "hh:mm:ss" and not "1:03:11"

What code should I write?

Well, here's what worked for me. Instead of:

TextBox3.Text = Format((Int(TimeOut.Subtract(TimeIn).TotalMinutes) / 60), "hh:mm:ss"),

Try:

TextBox3.Text = TimeOut.Subtract(TimeIn).ToString

That will show the time difference in hh:mm:ss format, which is 01:02:49.

I've to write the code;

TextBox3.Text = Format((Int(TimeOut.Subtract(TimeIn).TotalMinutes) / 60), "hh:mm:ss")

But the TextBox3 display "hh:mm:ss" and not the time used!

Well, you can't format that number like that. The number that results from:

TextBox3.Text = Format((Int(TimeOut.Subtract(TimeIn).TotalMinutes) / 60)

is: 1.03333333333333

That can't be formatted into "hh:mm:ss", so I think that is the problem. You HAVE to use the code you wrote? Cause if so, I don't see how it can work that way. What exactly do you want Textbox3 to display? "1.0333..." or "01:02:49"?
