Hi,

Yeah I'll have to do that if there is no way it can be done with the
existing class, this is what gets me about the Framework, on one side you
have strokes of genius, on the other you may have the most simplest
problem overlooked.

It's impossible to accomodate ALL the possible requirements of all the
programmers. The important thing is that you can extend AND modify the
classes at your convenience.

I can modify the framework classes? How? Or did you mean modify the
descendant classes?

Unless of course there was a very good reason "not" to have a System.Date
class.

Maybe cause it's not that important? I've been programming several years
now in .net and I have never ever needed such a distinction.

What do you display in your UI if you query a DateTime value? Do you convert
it to a short format if you need to or do you leave it displaying the
trailing zeros?
