The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Using DateDiff with a dataset?

Asked by jay-are in Active Server Pages (ASP)

Tags: datediff

Hello Experts!

I am trying to get a column in my datagrid called "Days Old". It is simply the date difference from a journal date in the database to today's date. I've been told to use something like this:

Date1 = DateDiff("d", Now, objDataSet![Jrnl Date])

I can't get this to work properly.

This is the error I get:

Type character '!' does not match declared data type 'System.Data.DataSet'.

Here is what my sub looks like on page load:

Sub BindGrid()
Dim objDataSet As DataSet = New DataSet
Dim myConnection As New SqlConnection(ConnectionString)
Dim Adapter As SqlDataAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter
Dim Date1 As String

Adapter.SelectCommand = _
New SqlCommand(SelectCommand1, myConnection)
myConnection.Open()
Adapter.Fill(objDataSet,"accounting")

Adapter.SelectCommand = _
New SqlCommand(SelectCommand2, myConnection)
Adapter.Fill(objDataSet,"comments")

DataGrid1.DataSource = objDataSet.Tables("accounting")

Date1 = DateDiff("d", Now(), objDataSet![Jrnl Date])
DataGrid1.Databind()

End Sub
