vb.net todatetime

[Neil J Hosgood]

Hi all,

Just putting together a liitle tool to insert appointments into outlook calendar,
all working except the start and end times... I cant figure this out.

excerpt from MS VB.net example
oAppt.Start = Convert.ToDateTime("11/30/2001 9:00:00 AM")
oAppt.End = Convert.ToDateTime("11/30/2001 1:00:00 PM")

Anyone done the Convert.todatetime thing before in PB ?

Cheers,
N

OK, I can see that oAppt.Start and .End are expecting a DW but how to
convert ???

Can not be a dword, it contains time as well.

In .net .ToOaDate() will convert to double.

Besides.. this is a much better way to create a datetime object (c#):

DateTime d = new DateTime(2007, 1, 12, 19, 22, 11);

THX Edwin, I meant double

Edwin,
Checked link out and using SystemTimeToVariantTime did not work.
However I have done some more digging and while the VB.net example
converts the date/time to a double the VBA code i found does not.
This works perfectly

vStart = "13/12/2007 3:04:00 PM"
vEnd = "13/12/2007 3:19:00 PM"

no conversion required.

Thanks for your help.
