How to copy datetime content from System.ValueType to DateTimevariable

[Veeranna Ronad]

Hello,

Our application gets datetime from an interface function. This
function returns "ValueType" . How to copy datetime content from this
"ValueType" to DateTime variable?

Thanks in advance and regards,
Veeranna Ronad.

Hi Veeranna,

A direct cast should work, although I can't imagine why you would return a
the date as "ValueType" .

public ValueType GetDate()
{
return DateTime.Now;
}

....

DateTime dt = (DateTime)GetDa te();

Happy Coding!

Okay, now I'm curious. Can anyone give me a good example of when you would
actually want to return ValueType from a function?
