- Overview
-
- This ocx was developed to solve a bug referred to
- international date inside VB , with support to date
- calculations and date functions , and the ocx is Y2K
- bug free
-
- Using this OCX you can forget about the Y2K problem
-
- The method to retrieve the year , the month and the
- day is bug free
-
- You can verify if a given year is a leap-year ( ano
- bissexto )
-
- You can get and set any part of the date separately or
- in the BW Date format (the BW date format is the date
- as a long in this manner "yyyymmdd")
-
- You can verify the number of days in a month in a especific
- year , between the year 1000 and the year 9999
-
- You can easily make date calculations involving days
- months and years to the past and to the future ( what
- will be the date if I add 100000 days to the actual
- date ? ) , and some of this operations will retrieve an
- overflow error if you try to use the Dateadd and the
- Datediff functions of the VB , this will prove to you
- that the Date data type of VB is very weak
-
- You can easily retrieve the difference between two
- dates in days , months and years ( what are the number
- of days between 01/01/1000 and 31/12/9999 ? ) and some
- of this operations will retrieve an overflow error if
- you try to use the Dateadd and the Datediff functions
- of the VB , this will prove to you that the Date data
- type of VB is very weak
-
- A complete help file is installed with the ocx , to
