Wrapper for GetDateFormat() - Antonio ?

[Davide]

Antonio,

yesterday I posted a wrapper to GetDateFormat (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms776293.aspx) to retrieve a date in the user's locale settings, but can no more find my post.

Has it been removed for some reason or did I forgot to hit Submit after Previewing it ?

Davide,

yes, probably

[Davide]

Here it is.

It works well if I don't pass dDate (it returns the current date formatted correctly), but the same happens even with a different dDate.

There should be something wrong in the SystemTime structure, but I cannot find the mistake.

Thanks,
Davide
