Can WKInterfaceDate show a date & time different from the current values?
If yes, how can I set a different date?
apple documentation says:
A WKInterfaceDate object is a custom label that displays the current
date or time. Use this object when you want to display date or time
information without further interaction from your WatchKit extension.
At runtime, use the date object to configure the appearance of the
date and time information being displayed.
For different date you can simply create label and set it's text to a String that you create with NSDateFormatter out of some NSDate.

In Apex app I've a region called Person on a page. Inside a region there is a masked date picker. I have a task to validate the date of birth. So, the date of birth could not be less 1900 year. In "Conditions" section i'd been trying to write an pl/sql expression:
TRUNC(TO_DATE(:P1002_CONTR_BIRTH_DATE, 'MM-DD-YYYY')) > TO_DATE('01.01.1900', 'MM-DD-YYYY')
but it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?
You put it to wrong place - "Condition" is used to decide whether an item will (or will not) be rendered on the screen.
Validation should be put into ... well, validation (obviously).
right-click the P1002_CONTR_BIRTH_DATE date picker item
choose "Create Validation"
set its type to "PL/SQL function (returning error text)
use such a code (presuming that you set the date picker format mask to MM-DD-YYYY):
if to_date(:P1002_CONTR_BIRTH_DATE, 'mm-dd-yyyy') < date '1900-01-01' then
return ('Error - can not set it to before 01-01-1900');
end if;
set it to fire when SUBMIT button is pressed
Alternatively (and way simpler) would be to open date picker item's property palette, navigate to its "Minimum date" property and put (for example) -120y in there which will allow dates that are higher than sysdate - 120 years (today, Apex would raise the
Birth date is less than specified minimum date 04-15-1898'
which isn't exactly "1900", but - you can easily calculate it, right? Also, -120y is somewhat more flexible than fixed year 1900.
Now you have two options, pick the one that suits you best.
TO_DATE() method is to convert a string to date, the string format should be the same as format_mask.
TRUNC(TO_DATE(:P1002_CONTR_BIRTH_DATE, 'MM-DD-YYYY')) > TO_DATE('01-01-1900', 'MM-DD-YYYY')
or
TRUNC(TO_DATE(:P1002_CONTR_BIRTH_DATE, 'MM-DD-YYYY')) > TO_DATE('01.01.1900', 'MM.DD.YYYY')
and also make sure :P1002_CONTR_BIRTH_DATE is also the same as format.

Suppose my system date is 2014-02-10 & I have published my app on Internet Information System. Now Using DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString method I can get date like 2014-02-10, but how can get pattern/style/structure (e.g yyyy-MM-dd) for date? It should be irrespective of current culture.
IF I change date to 10-Feb-2014, then I should get dd-MMM-yyyy.
What's the solution? Thanks in adv..
Ah, I see. I thought you were saying that you wanted to format a date value but it seems that you're saying that you actually want the format string. In that case, you need to use get an appropriate DateTimeFormatInfo object and get its ShortDatePattern property. You can use System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat or System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.DateTimeFormat to get that DateTimeFormatInfo.
Google Forms I need Pre-filled current Date & current Time Entry in date and time fields of my google form. How to do it
My solution is to make the Date field optional. The default is to assume the todays date which is what you get from the timestamp field. In case it needs to be anything else you can enter it manually.
A simple code-free solution is to make separate sections in your form and use the feature that routes users to different sections based on responses. The first section asks whether the form is for the current date/time. If yes, you use the timestamp as the date and time and route the user to the main section with your questions. If not, route them to a section to set the date and time, and then after that route them to the main section.
2023 Solution
-Google Forms has updated how dates are passed through URL parameters.
Instead of passing each component of a date as a separate param, you now pass them using the same syntax as all other fields using the YYYY-MM-DD format for your date value.
Here is an example URL:
`https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/${formId}/viewform?usp=pp_url&entry.${dateEntryFieldID}=${YEAR}-${MONTH}-${DAY}`
I'm trying to work with the ASP calendar control and (for starters) highlight the specific days on the calendar that matches DueDate in the 'task' table. I know how to highlight a cell using the DayRender event, but how do I do this in accordance to the database table?
Would then also like to be able to click on the highlighted cell and see details of the task associated to that date in some sort of box next to the calendar.
Any pointers on how I can solve this?
Pseudo-code:
Determine your desired date range (probably a certain month)
Read all the tasks that have due dates within that date range (probably need Name and DueDate at least)
In your DayRender handler you check if current day's date exists in the loaded tasks's due dates, if it does, highlight it with the color of your choice
In you SelectionChanged handler you obtain the selected day's date, and look through the loaded list of tasks for any tasks that have that date as their due date, and populate whatever box with those tasks.
I have an mx:DateField in my Flex UI that has a formatString="dd.mm.yyyy" attached to it. However, the initial value for that field may not be in the format specified/defined for the DateField (due to legacy reasons). So, currently, if I just set that value (text) on the DateField, the field is shown empty. I think because it fails to accept the value in a format different than what's configured.
I need to (somehow) be able to display the incoming value in the date field. Is that possible? If yes, how?
P.S. : The incoming value's format will not be known, so I cannot transform it to my desired format :(.
Parse the value into a date first, then use the dateField's dateToString method to set the text.
