Is there an easy way to convert a string that contains this: Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2008 13:12:12 -0500 (EST) into a string that contains this: 20081105_131212 UPDATE: I ended up using date.tryparse which is similar to tryParseExact except you don't have to specify the format string. I did have to eliminate the () and the EST for this t...

Here is an example of the XML: EDIT: Addresses and Address elements occur at many levels. This is what caused me to have to try and apply an XSLT. The...
Here is a class that I wrote to solve some issues that I was having with viewstate. It stores the info in the users session and increments a value to track which state to show. The difficulty is that there is no support for the back button. The reason I originally had this was that before AJAX came along the viewstate was being send d...

The page that this shared vb method is in doesn't allow anonymous ac...
I've done development in both VB6 and VB.NET, and I've used ADODB objects in VB6 to handle recordset navigation (i.e. the MoveFirst, MoveNext, etc. methods), and I have used ADO.NET to handle queries in a row-by-row nature (i.e For Each Row In Table.Rows ...) But now I seem to have come to a dilemma. I am now building a program in VB.N...

I've got a very small standalone vb.net app that gets run automatically. Every now and then it hits an error condition that I want to log and then keep processing. But, this is far too minor a thing to store in the system's main log - I really just want to append a line to a text file. What's the least stress way to append a line of t...
