Hello everyone,
I am working on a project when I have to convert a C# program into
Native C for speed purposes. I am using a .dll that creates a DateTime
object. Obviously, there is not DateTime object in Native C, but I
would like to know if there is a work-around to parse out the
day/month/year from this DateTime object. Any ideas?

There's no such thing as "Native C". Do you mean ISO/ANSI Standard C?
If you want an answer to this, this group actually would be the right
place, had you went to the trouble of telling us what is a DateTime
object, so we can suggest C equivavalent.
If you specify what you need, there surely is a way of doing it in C.

Hello,
The DateTime object i am speaking about is found under .NET.
Here is a link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...classtopic.asp
Basically, as I said before, I am writing a C program and want to parse
out the day/month/year from this DateTime object, but do not see any
means to do this in C. The time.h library uses time_t object/struct,
but when converting, there is a tyep-mismatch (obviously), causing the
time_t object i created to be set to deafult (1/1/1970).

If you're looking to read the binary representation of this (i.e. you
are given a pointer to it), then you really need to know how .NET
stores it. Knowing that, you can construct a C `struct` that matches,
and read it out, or you could just walk through it byte by byte and
reconstruct the fields. This is going to be very non-portable, not
least for the possibility that the raw binary representation in .NET
may change.
You may be better off writing the fields of interest (maybe all) into a
text file, or some file of known, and well defined type, from your .NET
code, and read it out from your C code. For "file" you may substitute
memory buffer as well. NB, I'm suggesting that you design and document
the exchange format used, so it's under your control.

Thanks for such a quick reply....
I understand the approach you are coming from, but unfortunately, had I
had the option to write those specific fields to a file, then read them
into my C program, than i wouldn't have the problem to begin with.
This problem of type mis-matching between .NET object DATETIME and C
seems to be causing the most problems for me. Thanks for giving me your
2 cents! Much appreciated.

Get the DateTime.Ticks Property and use that to construct a time_t
object. Either pass the long, or an object that contains only this long.
Thanks for the reply!
I found a work around to my problem. The sample code provided with the
..dll I was implementing actually uses a COleDateTime object to store
the DateTime object I was looking at. Simply #include "ATLComTime .h"
did the trick! Thanks for everyone's help on this

I have inherited a table where date information was saved from PHP as a VARCHAR.
(Sigh.) This means that the so-called date fields look like this :
August 1, 2005, 9:09 am EDT
October 13, 2004, 12:28 pm EDT
This makes them essentially useless for sorting and logical evaluation.
Understandbly, the MySQL date functions don't seem able to convert the field to
a "real" date field. This yields a blank (or maybe null) "realdate" :

Hi,
I am having a little trouble figuring out how to convert a python
datetime to UTC. I have a UTC date (e.g. 2008-07-11 00:00:00). I would
like to create a UTC date so that when I send it to MySQL (which
treats all dates at local dates by default), it will already have
incorporated the proper UTC offset. I've tried looking through the
docs http://python.active-venture.com/lib/datetime-datetime.html), but
have not had any luck.
