Creating a timestamp in visual basic
|
|
|
| Hi,
Im trying to create a linux Epoch timestamp in visual basic. The reason for
this is im creating a application that uses a database to store records. And
i need to be able to display records within a four hour period of this
date. I dont know if visual basic provides any timestamping features as all
i can find is creating a date in a format of MM/DD/YYYY for example and that
is not suitable for waht i need. Does anyone know of any code for what im
looking for? Or is this possible another way?
Thanks
Jamie

Use the Date data type and the DateDiff() function. Or am I not
understanding the question?

| Yes u did, however i also need the function to work down to the exact hour.
Would DateDiff work down to the difference in hours?

Looking up DateDiff in MSDN would answer that question quickly....
