Work with Date Time in VC++ 2005

Question

I have a question: How to work with Date Time Type in VC++. I search many times and only found a solution:

time_t t = time(NULL);   // get time now
struct tm * now = localtime(&t);

But I don't know how to set a Date with a specify value, example:

oDay = new DateTime("5, 6, 10, 5, 6, 2005");

I want to build a code that set a date with a specified value and check this value is valid or not. Anyone plz help me. Thank for all support!

Answer 1

Use the COleDateTime class.

The ParseDateTime() function converts date-time strings in a variety of formats into COleDateTime - returning false if the string is not valid.

You can create a COleDateTime containing a specific date-time simply like this:

COleDateTime oDay(2005, 6, 5, 10, 6, 5);
