To show date in long mode : DateTimePicker1.Value.ToLongDateString() Ex : Saturday, September 13, 2008

To show date in Short mode : DateTimePicker1.Value.ToShortDateString() Ex : 9/13/2008

To Show current date with long format : FormatDateTime(TimeOfDay, DateFormat.LongTime) Result : 10:40:05 PM

To Show current date with short format : FormatDateTime(Now,DateFormat.ShortTime) Or FormatDateTime(TimeOfDay,DateFormat.ShortTime) Result : 22:40

Visit this site, there are tutorial about Format() function.

hh:mm:ss 11:27:07

[Jx_Man]

Using timer to check booking time with system time :
On Timer properties
- Set timer Enable = True
- Set Interval = 1000

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
    Dim btime As DateTime
    btime = FormatDateTime("1:00:00 AM", DateFormat.LongTime)
    If FormatDateTime(TimeOfDay, DateFormat.LongTime) = btime Then
        MsgBox("Booking Time up")
    End If
End Sub

hey thank for your help jx_man....my project is 50% complete....i need help with this problem too...appretiate your help.

here is my code

If tableno = 1 Then
            status = "Booked"
            Table1.BackColor = Color.Khaki
            Spanel.Hide()
            Rpanel1.Show()

Dim btimeA As DateTime
        btimeA = FormatDateTime(btime1.Value, DateFormat.LongTime)
        If FormatDateTime(TimeOfDay, DateFormat.LongTime) = btimeA.AddMinutes(20) Then
            MsgBox("Booking Time up Mr/Miss " & Bcusname1.Text & " is late,reservation canceled")
            Table1.BackColor = Color.PaleGreen
            status1 = "Available"

How do set the timer to start 2 hours b4 the booking time?...lets say the booking is at 7, the button will be yellow at 5 only...i try a few ways its not working.....would really appreciate your help...

[Jx_Man]

- using TimeSerial() Function to get 2 hours before booking time.
see this line bTimeUp = TimeSerial(btimeA.Hour - 2, btimeA.Minute, btimeA.Second)

Dim bTimeA As DateTime
Dim bTimeUp As DateTime
btimeA = FormatDateTime(btime1.Value, DateFormat.LongTime)
bTimeUp = TimeSerial(btimeA.Hour - 2, btimeA.Minute, btimeA.Second) 
    If FormatDateTime(TimeOfDay, DateFormat.LongTime) = bTimeUp Then
        MsgBox("Booking Time up Mr/Miss " & Bcusname1.Text & " is late,reservation canceled")
        Table1.BackColor = Color.PaleGreen
        status1 = "Available"
    End If

- question for u : btime1 is datetimepicker or not?
if yes then set Format = Time on datepicker properties

[gopi17]

thanks again for your jx....i don't understand a few things....will u explain them...thank u...here is my updated code

Private Sub Timer2_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer2.Tick
        Dim btimeA As DateTime
        btimeA = FormatDateTime(Btime1.Value, DateFormat.LongTime)
        If FormatDateTime(TimeOfDay, DateFormat.LongTime) = btimeA.AddMinutes(20) Then
            MsgBox("Booking Time up Mr/Miss " & Bcusname1.Text & " is late,reservation canceled")
            Table1.BackColor = Color.PaleGreen
            status2 = "Available"
        End If
    End Sub

As you can see the above one is for the
timer....i would like to place the btimeUp in the button,coz once i click the button it changes in yellow...so, i decided to put the btimeup in the button...i did something like this...

Private Sub bubu_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RButton.Click
        If tableno = 1 Then
Dim bTimeUp As DateTime
bTimeUp = TimeSerial(btime1.Hour - 2, btime1.Minute, btime1.Second)
If TimeSerial(TimeOfDay, DateFormat.LongTime, DateFormat.LongTime) Then 
            status1 = "Booked"
            Table1.BackColor = Color.Khaki
            Spanel.Hide()
            Rpanel1.Show()
        End If

But somehow this line is giving problem

bTimeUp = TimeSerial(btime1.Hour - 2, btime1.Minute, btime1.Second)

can u help me out with this....

[Jx_Man]

what problem come up?any errors?

[gopi17]

bTimeUp = TimeSerial(Btime1.Hour - 2, Btime1.Minute, Btime1.Second)

this line says tat 'hour' is not a member of ' System.Windows.Forms.DateTimePicker'

This line says

If TimeSerial(TimeOfDay, DateFormat.LongTime, DateFormat.LongTime)

value type date cannot be converted into integer....

i'm really confused now...
