If you plan on using the dos prompt to compile your C# and haven't already done so you will want to add the path to csc.exe to your environment variables. It will allow you to open a dos prompt window and type "csc yourCsFilename.cs" and go without having to navigate each time to the location of csc. A healthy, carpal tunnel free programming life is built on saving key strokes so find and use your shortcuts!! Move your mouse as far away from you as possible and just start looking up and using the shortcuts that appear on your menus! It will greatly increase your efficiency over time.
To do this on Windows 7 and Framework 3.5 right click 'My Computer' and click on 'Properties' then click on 'Advanced System Settings' over on the left. Click on the 'Advanced Tab' and then the button at the bottom that reads 'Environment Variables'. Put your cursor in the second box (System variables) and scroll down until you find the one named 'Path'.
Click 'Edit' then remove your hand from the mouse ( if you are not already using the tab key)!
Hit your 'End' key and paste this whole string in there ;C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\ using 'ctrl - V'...of course.
'OK' your way out of all the windows, open a dos prompt (using the keyboard and type csc /help ( that's 'csc' a space and then '/help')
you should get a bunch of help scrolling past you in the dos window. If you don't open Windows Explorer and paste the path to csc.exe into it 'C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\' and if you don't get there then you need to install framework 3.5. Search your Framework directory for 'csc'exe and paste that into the Path environment variable instead.
Live long and prosper!
Creating Military Julian using XPATH in InfoPath 2007
Posted by KansasCoder / Category: InfoPath 2007, XPathOk..codeless in the subject is a bit of a misnomer..there is code BUT there is no code-behind. Below I'll show you how to create an ordinal day and a military julian day utilizing the XPath.
Create a field in your InfoPath DataSource called Military Julian and paste the function into it's default value:
concat(substring(substring-before(now(), "-"), 3, 2), (((substring-before(substring-after(substring-after(now(), "-"), "-"), "T")) + floor((153 * ((substring-before(substring-after(now(), "-"), "-")) + 12 * (floor((14 - substring-before(substring-after(now(), "-"), "-")) / 12)) - 3) + 2) / 5) + (substring-before(now(), "-") + 4800 - (floor((14 - substring-before(substring-after(now(), "-"), "-")) / 12))) * 365 + floor((substring-before(now(), "-") + 4800 - (floor((14 - substring-before(substring-after(now(), "-"), "-")) / 12))) / 4) - floor((substring-before(now(), "-") + 4800 - (floor((14 - substring-before(substring-after(now(), "-"), "-")) / 12))) / 100) + floor((substring-before(now(), "-") + 4800 - (floor((14 - substring-before(substring-after(now(), "-"), "-")) / 12))) / 400) - 32045) - ((substring-before(substring-after(substring-after(concat(string(substring(today(), 1, 4)), "-01-01T00:00:00"), "-"), "-"), "T")) + floor((153 * ((substring-before(substring-after(concat(string(substring(today(), 1, 4)), "-01-01T00:00:00"), "-"), "-")) + 12 * (floor((14 - substring-before(substring-after(concat(string(substring(today(), 1, 4)), "-01-01T00:00:00"), "-"), "-")) / 12)) - 3) + 2) / 5) + (substring-before(concat(string(substring(today(), 1, 4)), "-01-01T00:00:00"), "-") + 4800 - (floor((14 - substring-before(substring-after(concat(string(substring(today(), 1, 4)), "-01-01T00:00:00"), "-"), "-")) / 12))) * 365 + floor((substring-before(concat(string(substring(today(), 1, 4)), "-01-01T00:00:00"), "-") + 4800 - (floor((14 - substring-before(substring-after(concat(string(substring(today(), 1, 4)), "-01-01T00:00:00"), "-"), "-")) / 12))) / 4) - floor((substring-before(concat(string(substring(today(), 1, 4)), "-01-01T00:00:00"), "-") + 4800 - (floor((14 - substring-before(substring-after(concat(string(substring(today(), 1, 4)), "-01-01T00:00:00"), "-"), "-")) / 12))) / 100) + floor((substring-before(concat(string(substring(today(), 1, 4)), "-01-01T00:00:00"), "-") + 4800 - (floor((14 - substring-before(substring-after(concat(string(substring(today(), 1, 4)), "-01-01T00:00:00"), "-"), "-")) / 12))) / 400) - 32045) + 1))
You now have the Military Julian in the format of YYNNN, where NNN is the Ordinal Day.
If you want only the Ordinal Day of the year use this function instead:
(((substring-before(substring-after(substring-after(now(), "-"), "-"), "T")) + floor((153 * ((substring-before(substring-after(now(), "-"), "-")) + 12 * (floor((14 - substring-before(substring-after(now(), "-"), "-")) / 12)) - 3) + 2) / 5) + (substring-before(now(), "-") + 4800 - (floor((14 - substring-before(substring-after(now(), "-"), "-")) / 12))) * 365 + floor((substring-before(now(), "-") + 4800 - (floor((14 - substring-before(substring-after(now(), "-"), "-")) / 12))) / 4) - floor((substring-before(now(), "-") + 4800 - (floor((14 - substring-before(substring-after(now(), "-"), "-")) / 12))) / 100) + floor((substring-before(now(), "-") + 4800 - (floor((14 - substring-before(substring-after(now(), "-"), "-")) / 12))) / 400) - 32045) - ((substring-before(substring-after(substring-after(concat(string(substring(today(), 1, 4)), "-01-01T00:00:00"), "-"), "-"), "T")) + floor((153 * ((substring-before(substring-after(concat(string(substring(today(), 1, 4)), "-01-01T00:00:00"), "-"), "-")) + 12 * (floor((14 - substring-before(substring-after(concat(string(substring(today(), 1, 4)), "-01-01T00:00:00"), "-"), "-")) / 12)) - 3) + 2) / 5) + (substring-before(concat(string(substring(today(), 1, 4)), "-01-01T00:00:00"), "-") + 4800 - (floor((14 - substring-before(substring-after(concat(string(substring(today(), 1, 4)), "-01-01T00:00:00"), "-"), "-")) / 12))) * 365 + floor((substring-before(concat(string(substring(today(), 1, 4)), "-01-01T00:00:00"), "-") + 4800 - (floor((14 - substring-before(substring-after(concat(string(substring(today(), 1, 4)), "-01-01T00:00:00"), "-"), "-")) / 12))) / 4) - floor((substring-before(concat(string(substring(today(), 1, 4)), "-01-01T00:00:00"), "-") + 4800 - (floor((14 - substring-before(substring-after(concat(string(substring(today(), 1, 4)), "-01-01T00:00:00"), "-"), "-")) / 12))) / 100) + floor((substring-before(concat(string(substring(today(), 1, 4)), "-01-01T00:00:00"), "-") + 4800 - (floor((14 - substring-before(substring-after(concat(string(substring(today(), 1, 4)), "-01-01T00:00:00"), "-"), "-")) / 12))) / 400) - 32045) + 1)
There seems to be quite a bit of confusion among the ranks as to what Julian is. Perhaps some of the confusion is my own lack of military background. My first spoken requirements were to create a Julian Day of the year for a form field. So I looked on wikipedia and discovered that the Julian Day Number is the number of days since Day 0 which is marked at 1/1/4713 BC Greenwich Time. Today, Oct. 15, 2010 that number is 2455485. That was fairly easy.
However the client actually uses a day which is not based on the Julian Date way back in 4713. It is based on the first day of the current year. It's called an ordinal day. Sticking the last 2 digits of the year on to the front of that number gives you a Military Julian day. The XPath is ugly but it works..even for Leap Years!
The formula above finds the julian day for the first of the current year (1/1/2010) and the julian day for the current day and subtracts the current Julian from the First of the year julian. 1 is added to the difference to arrive at the julian day of the year. I then concat the last 2 digits of the current year to the front and that's it. I store it in the dataset and then concat a time stamp to the end to get the tracking number in a format that is useful and generates a unique number.
Code behind does all this in about 2 lines of c# but then you need an admin to publish your form. That means making the client wait for who knows how long before they can see your forms.
