Converting a Date to a string is very easy. All you have to do is supply a format string to the ToString() method and you've got your directory name.
Dim dirName As String = DateTime.Now.ToString("MM-dd-yyyy")
Then you just combine that with the parent path the you want to create that directory in:
Imports System.Io
.
.
.
Dim fullPath As String = Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, dirName)
Directory.CreateDirectory(fullPath)

Thank you very much! Now how do you add the time to the name also?
|
|

|

Just use:
<br />
Dim dirName As String = DateTime.Now.ToString("M-d-yyyy hh.mm.ss tt")<br />
or without am/pm:
<br />
Dim dirName As String = DateTime.Now.ToString("M-d-yyyy hh.mm.ss")<br />

Whoa there! You better start thinking before you start posting code. Slashes and colons are not legal in file or directory names.

Funny, this was in the Visual Basic Studio Help File.  Maybe Microsoft ought to think before the write a help file!

Yes, it is documented, you just have to read it first. It's in the documentation for DOS, Windows, Visual Studio, and the .NET Framework. It's also found by a examination of fully qualified filepaths too. How about launching a program with a path like this:
C:\WINDOWS\NOTEPAD.EXE /P MYFILE.TXT
You'll note the colon seperates the drive letter from the rest of the path. The backslash seperates folder and file names. And the forward slash is reserved for specifying command line parameters.
Under the .NET Framework 1.x, the invalid characters are returned by Path.InvalidPathChars[^]. Under 2.0, that functionality has been split between two methods: Path.GetInvalidFileNameChars[^] and GetInvalidPathChars[^].

Change the format string to any combination you want.
"yyyy-MM-dd hh.mm.ss"
Remember, slashes and colons are not legal in filenames.

Hello
Could you please help me understand how a client-server application can be
accomplished in VB.Net or C# (Windows application)?
Traditionally, in VB6 a Client-Server application required two separate
applications:
1) - The UI application - that would be deployed on the client machines;
2) - The server application that contained the Business layer and the
database layer(this doesn't have a user interface of course)
At the installation time of the UI, it was an option to provide the IP
address of the server so the client will know where the server components can
be found on the network....
How this architecture can be achieved using VB.Net or C#.net ? Is still
possible using .Net ? Or .Net uses different approach?
Thank you so much

That is what client/server means, regardless of language.

It would work the same way, or you could make the server a web service, which is a much nicer approach, then you don't need an IP address, and it will just always work, without any sort of network code on your part.

Hey all.
I am building a small in office chat program. I also want to allow user to interact from off site locations. Does the .Net framework have the right functionality? If so can you give me a brief description or a link to a tut?

Have you tried Rebooting it?

Ahhh, the ubiquitous chat application. All you have to is Google for "vb.net chat" and you'll come up with hundreds of examples.

Hi
Is it possible to catch URL's in IE with VB.Net and then prevent access to it?
-- modified at 7:23 Tuesday 17th October, 2006

|

No. Once the URL is typed in and the user hits enter, it's already too late. The request has been sent to the server.
Your best option is this case is either buy and setting up, or writing your own proxy server. The web browser, when configured properly, then makes all its requests through your proxy server and the proxy gets to decide which requests to forward on and which to stop.

I think i should be more specific about what is needed? Actually i just want to record whatever user does with web page for example it should be able to record all the textboxes which a user fills on a webpage and should be able to generate some script (vbscript) accordingly.

I already answered this in your previous post.
