Demeter,

The following illustrates Variant to TDateTime conversion:

#include <iostream>
#include <vcl.h>

void showDate(const TDateTime& dt)
{
std::cout << "DateTime = " << DateTimeToStr(dt) << std::endl;
}

int main()
{
TDateTime dt1 = Sysutils::Now();
showDate(dt1);

Variant v1(dt1);

TDateTime dt2 = v1;
showDate(dt2);

TDateTime dt3;
dt3 = Variants::VarToDateTime(v1);
showDate(dt3);

return 0;
}

OK. Then how to convert Variant v to TDateTime d?

Ok, I copied the raw HTML from the README file. Formatting changes I had made are lost, but I’ll take accuracy over formatting.

The #include and static_cast statements in this blog’s examples do not appear correctly in a web browser because all of the angle brackets are not HTML-encoded.

@Dennis Cote: Looks more like a HTML problem. The < and > are interpreted as tags. If you look at the HTML source code you see the "".

You have used static_cast without specifying the casted expression type throughout this document. AFAIK you must specify a type when using a static cast in standard C++, i.e. static_cast(object).

Ok, well the RTL uses the Dimkumware STL - so both statements are correct. In any case, I updated to avoid confusion.

" improved RTL via Dinkumware"

I think you mean STL (Standard Template Library), rather than RTL (RunTime Library)?
