Hello,

does anyone have an idea if there is a possibility to convert a PI-Time as String (like "*", "*-8h", ...) into a .NET Date?

I'm coding an VB.NET addin in VS2008 and i want to use for my addin the time of the active display. But I need a possibility to
convert the StartTime and EndTime property to something useful in my addin.

thx

Hello,

You sure can, check out the "PITimeFormat" object from the "PITimeServer" type library.

Code:

Dim PTF As New PITimeServer.PITimeFormat()
PTF.InputString = "*-8h"

Dim DT As DateTime = PTF.LocalDate


If you are working across time zones then also check out the "PITimeZoneInfo" object, which is a property of the "PITimeFormat" object.
