Hi,
AFAIK, An Excel Serial Date is the number of days since 1-1-1900.
For eg., Excel stores March 17, 2006, as serial number 38793 because it
is 38,793 days after January 1, 1900. The digits after the period in
Peter's example are probably the no. of seconds elapsed in that day.
Excel stores dates as sequential serial numbers so that it can perform
calculations on them. Excel stores January 1, 1900, as serial number 1.
But if the members of the DateTime class have any pre-built conversion
defined, of that I'm not too sure. Maybe Armin (Who, I have noticed, is
our DateTime authority... ;-)) can help here.
Regards,
Cerebrus.
