[RESOLVED] null dates - actually required

[dale_albiston]

i assume i can make my date class *very* simple, by having one public member i.e. a system.datetime, and then be able to access all parts of the datetime ala

(assuming the custom class contains a datetime member called 'x')

dim dDate as myDate
 
...
 
' ** is the date valid?
if dDate is nothing then
   ' do whatever we do with a null date
else
   ' do whatever we do with a non-null date
   msgbox(ddate.x.toString)
end if

this basically will do what i need, plus i can always create my own .ToString method in my class to get a default formatted string back, and use x.ToString to get the system default.. hmm..

if this works me happy. will try it later..

thanks to ya all :-)
