Store time into Array

derekl · December 16th, 2006, 01:25 PM

Hi, how do I go about storing time into array? I want to loop until 1 minute which is 60 seconds. Eg. I store the datetime and add 1 second to it in the loop and store in array? I have my for loop but I just can't get it to add 1 second to it?

        For i = 0 To 60 Step 1
            Dim msg As DateTime = DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString

            Response.Write(msg & "<br />")

            Dim msg2 As DateTime = msg.AddSeconds(1.0)

        Next

please help, thanks

hi there..

i didn't understand what's your point here..

you are doing a loop 60 times (not 60 seconds)..

if you need to loop for 60 seconds you can do something like

Code:

Dim msg As DateTime = DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString
while msg.AddSeconds(60).CompareTo(DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString) = 0
... do something here...
loop

I don't see any array in your code...

Or if you want to just hold an operation for 60 seconds you can do:

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(60)

I will only tell you how to do it, not do it for you.
Unless, of course, you want to hire me to do work for you.
