VB.NET: Extract day, month or year from the Listbox..[Unresolved]

[toytoy]

Say I have these dates in the listbox...

First Date: 10/2/2004
Second Date: 12/4/2004

but how to extract the "2" from the first date into the textbox..

Since i need to display all the dates and from there the user will choose from any of the dates..

lastly, the choosen day, month and year will be separately display into 3 textboxes...

Is there any way to solve it or i should not use the listbox to do it...

any suggestion..

Thanks

If I understand correctly what you need, you have to use Split method (using "/"c as separator) on the selected item.

You will obtain a three elements string array that you can assign to your textbox as needed.

Hope, this helps.

[toytoy]

but i have already use the separator on the dates before displaying in the listbox to get "10/2/2004" and "12/4/2004"..

how to use it again on the Selected Items...

I don't understand how to use again..

cboInfo.SelectedItem & "/" ?...

Could you show some examples..

And also that all the dates are display in one listbox only..

and after chosen all are display in 3 different textboxes..

Thanks

You can use Month(), Day(), & Year() functions passing in the date in questions. This will extract the values you need.

Looking further there doesn't seem to be a Day() function, but I'm sure it's called something else. Look in to it.

Uhmmm....sorry dear friend Toytoy, now I'm sure I've not understand your problem. It often happens to me, because I should study english more seriously, but I've not sufficient time
I hope our friend RickP, gave you what you need. Good job!

I solve it...

Since the number that I want to extract is the Date so the coding should be...

the blue part is what i want..

Private Sub lstListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles lstListBox1.SelectedIndexChanged 
Try 
Me.TextBox1.Text = Convert.ToDateTime(lstListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString).Date.Day 
Me.TextBox2.Text = Convert.ToDateTime(lstListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString).Date.Month 
Me.TextBox3.Text = Convert.ToDateTime(lstListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString).Date.Year
Catch ex As Exception 
End Try 
End Sub

[RickP]

I solve it...

Did I at least point you in the right direction? That's usually my goal for every answer I give.

[toytoy]

anyway.....

thanks all of you for the suggestion.

Say i have these dates:

12-2-05......can
12-12-05....can
12-13-05....cannot
12-22-05....cannot

Refer to the above dates, why the below XML tag could not work well with days above "12"... when i send to server..
I could only send 1,2,3,4,5,....up to 12 only.

"<" & "Date" & " " & "day=" & """" & Convert.ToDateTime(lst.SelectedItem.ToString).Date.Day & """" & " "    
& "month=" & """" & Convert.ToDateTime(lst.SelectedItem.ToString).Date.Month & """" & " " & "year=" & """" 
& Convert.ToDateTime(lst.SelectedItem.ToString).Date.Year & """" & " >" & _
</" & "Date" & ">" & _

The error message is:

Additional information: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.

Does anyone have better solution to solve it....

Thanks

For the above problem....

I am not sure why if i use other set of computers with the same Visual Studio 2003, it works...

how to update all the classes so that my computer could also be use..

[toytoy]

I find the problem is on the Format of the D/MM/YYYY...

After i change the date format, it could work...

Is there any way to format the date so that the program could works well in all computers without having to worry about whether the computer have set to the required date format.....

Thanks
