I am looking to be able to use functions like these from VB.NET. Any idea how I could do that?
Thanks,
Ned
Ned,
If you are familiar with .NET, porting the code is not a complex job. You can also try using the Microsoft JCLA for the job, though I have no experience with it. If you do plan on porting it, let me know if you need a version under the LGPL as opposed to the GPL that it is currently released under.
If anyone converted it to VB.NET or C#.NET I would like to get the source code or at least the DLL. (please post it here if posible)
I tried converting it with JCLA but it didn’t work, so I made a J#.NET Project and I got some compilation errors
Like:
getTimeZone().getDSTSavings()
noonCal.setTimeInMillis(noonCal.getTimeInMillis()
getTimeZone().getDisplayName
Thanks
Has anyone had any luck converting the code into vb.net or an exe which outputs zmanim depending on the parameters entered?
Thanks
Dan
I do not know much about VB, but attempts to do this ran into some minor issue with decimal formats that were for the most part in the toString methods and can probably be easily fixed. You can try to use the source code to try this yourself.
Do you have the code
Available with asp or cold fusion or JavaScript
No, the API is currently only available in Java. Since the source is available, it should be trivial for any ASP or Cold Fusion developer to port the code. Please let me know if you do indeed port it.
which one from the list of jars has functionality of converting georgian date into the hebrew date?
(Prefers that hebrew date will be returned as string…)
Anyone knows?
Thanks!
Gerry,
None do. Zmanim calculations are based on the solar calendar, so none of the jars include this functionality. There are a few packages that do this, but not mine. The only calendar conversion routine that I wrote, is the PHP WordPress Hebrew date Plugin. I may post some information on calendar conversion some time in the future.
hi
any news for vb.net version?
YMO,
There is a C# .NET port that is being very actively developed. It will probably work in VB.NET. Yitzchok’s code can be seen at the Zmanim .NET project page.
Hey ,
How Can I convert this jar to support Android?
Thanks
What are you looking to convert? Have you seen the Android Zmanim Using the KosherJava Zmanim API post? As per Jay, there was no work required for him to use the jar on the Android.
