I have an application that allows the user to pick a start date, then the enter in a number of hours to do a job, then a stop date fills out a textbox. Is there a way to find out the stop date? if they pick 7/11/08 and enter in 10 hours for a job, how can I figure out the actual date the job should end? > I have an application that allows the user to pick a start date, then the > enter in a number of hours to do a job, then a stop date fills out a > textbox.

Does it start the moment the user presses the button, or does it start at 00:00? Anyway, all you really need is the AddHours(10) method of the DateTime structure: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime.addhours.aspx  SignatureMark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net There is no particular time for the job to start. The user is only picking the day which it will start and how many hours it will take to do the job. >> I have an application that allows the user to pick a start date, then the >> enter in a number of hours to do a job, then a stop date fills out a [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > structure: > http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime.addhours.aspx [top-posting corrected] >>> I have an application that allows the user to pick a start date, then >>> the enter in a number of hours to do a job, then a stop date fills out a [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > There is no particular time for the job to start.

Another possible problem is how many hours will the person work each day. A job which takes 10 hours where the person works one hour a day will have a much different end date than one where the person works a 7.5 hour work day. To me the three details that would be necessary are start date, end date and hours to complete the job. Just my two cents. LS Its not a job such as a sql job, or anything like that, its a repair job on a car so time isn't a factor only the number of days. so if the user body guy enters in a start date of 7/11/2008 and enters in the number of hours its going to take to do each task, prep, paint, etc. such as a total of 8 hours, then they should see an end date of 7/12/2008 and so on. > [top-posting corrected] > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > Er, so how can you possibly know when the job ends if you don't know when > it starts...? > Its not a job such as a sql job, or anything like that, its a repair job on > a car so time isn't a factor only the number of days. [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >> Er, so how can you possibly know when the job ends if you don't know when >> it starts...? Is this for a real application? Your example seems to go against what you are saying. A job that takes lets say 10 hours, if there is prep painting etc., the drying of the paint must occur prior to other steps so the number of hours is not indicative of the time to do the job. And what happens when an 'emergency' job comes in and the person/people required to do the job are busy with other work. Most jobs like this are charged by worktime not by the time the job will be finished. LS so you take the number of hours, divide by max hours a day, to get number of days. then add to start date. you may need to take into account non-working days (sunday, holidays, etc). -- bruce (sqlwork.com) > Its not a job such as a sql job, or anything like that, its a repair job on > a car so time isn't a factor only the number of days.

That makes no sense... A day isn't 8 hours long. If I start work at 8am on 11th and work for 8 hours, that doesn't make it 12th... SignatureMark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net Trust me guys, I have a boat load of questions to the business folks that own the orginal application. This app is done in Excel and they wanted it web enabled to use in more of their body shops. Currently if the app says it takes 16 hours to complete a job, the app shows 4 days of work time on it, 4 days an hour, so for example in the current app if the repair guy enters in a date of 7/22/2008 16 hours of total work time the app shows 4 days and an estimated done date is 7/25/08 unless there is a weekend involved then it calculates them and would move over to the following week. So if the start date was 7/24/2008 then the app would show 16 hours of work time 4 days to complete est done date would be 7/30/2008 and then show 4 weekdays and 2 weekend days > [top-posting corrected again] > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > A day isn't 8 hours long.

I think u have solution ready made with you. requirement 1: No of hours which make one working day = 4hrs requirement 2: Should not include weekends. so you can get number of work day = total works hours/1 working day (in hrs) end day = start day + number of work days that is it you are done. For finding weekend you can use DayOfWeek enum Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months. There are no hidden fees and no obligation.
