Why Now.Date.Subtract(New Date(2000, 1, 1)).Days returns 731529??
It is a too big value a think! I aspect something as 1030-1100....

How do you display the value?

Your expression returns 1410 here. (Framework 1.1)

on command window (I'm debugging... ) :

? Now.Date.Subtract(New Date(2000, 1, 1)).Days

It seems right. I'm using 1.1 too.

You are right. Can reproduce it here. Problem is: "New date(2000, 1, 1)"
does _not_ return 1/1/2000. Instead it returns 1/1/0001. But only in the
debugger (also when viewing "New date(2000, 1, 1)" in the quick watch
window), not when executed in code. I'm still trying to find out why...

(BTW, date literals can be expressed by #1/1/2000# (not a solution for the
problem, only a hint))

That's right. It think is a bug of VS.Studio (where is MS people in this
newsgroup?).

In fact if I use this notation, also in the debugger I have the right value.

Thanks

They are here. :-) I believe this is a managed group, so they are monitoring
it - maybe someone will answer in the next few days.

Maybe you can also post it to the microsoft.public.vsnet.debugging or
microsoft.public.vsnet.ide group (don't know which one, probably the first
is more appropriate). I've already received an answer there from MSFT people
that forwarded an issue to the development team, so I think there is a good
chance to get an answer there.
 
Hi Trapulo,

As addition to Armin,

Put in your Subject "BUG" I have seen Microsoft people react almost
imidiatly at that.

Cor
 
Armin: Monitoring is what we are doing. When you are involved that's all
we usually need to do. <g>

Trapulo: This certainly looks like a bug to me. As Armin said, New Date
always returns 1/1/01 in the command window.

I've submitted a bug report to the product team. If they concur, the bug
will be prioritized and hopefully fixed.

Thank you for choosing the MSDN Managed Newsgroups,

Send them to Rafael and Ed. hundreds & hundreds of them! ;-)

Actually, MVPs should create a post in the private newsgroup for their
technology with the keyword MS-ESC in the title. That will do you better
than the mswish website. As someone said >somewhere<, starting the subject
line with BUG has a tendency to get noticed by the developers when they are
in the newsgroups. As with anything of this type, if you use it too often,
the devs may start to ignore it.

HTH

I already knew that but I was interested if there is any other
"official" way than "MS Wish" to report a bug.

ACK. Thank you for clarifying that!
