.NET Forum / Languages / VB.NET / June 2005Calculating Time in VB .Net
I'm learning to program with VB .Net. I'm trying to write a program that will calculate jogging time. I have Text boxes for Distance1, Distance2, Speed1, Speed2, Time1, Time2, and Total Time. For example, say I run 2 miles at 8mph (7:30 minute miles) and 1 mile at 7.5mph (8 minute miles). I enter 2 in Distance1, 1 in Distance2, 8 in Speed1, and 7.5 in Speed2. I can calculate in decimal (10.25, 10.5, 10.75 minutes, etc.) How would I calculate the three times in minutes and seconds (10:15. 10:30, 10:45)? Thanks! Brian, This sounds like a student question. Basicly you calculate it in the same way as on a piece of paper, however you use than some code to do that, which differs not much from that. Cor > I'm learning to program with VB .Net.

Have a look at the very helpful DateTime (called Date in VB.Net but they are identic) and TimeSpan types and there members.

Just a database analyst who likes to run and trying to add some programming by starting off with something really basic. Have to start small you know. > > I'm learning to program with VB .Net.

Brian, Than in addition to Armin is TimeSpan what you need and than the method "FromSeconds" or an equivalent. I write that because I have seen that these ones are easily missed. I hope this helps, Cor I thought that I gave the link http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlr fsystemtimespanclassfromsecondstopic.asp Cor Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
