Hi,
I am storing "DateLastModified" for every record/bo in my system. On the data-entry form, I want to show this date.
Using the CBM, I can choose this property and it shows up on the form. However, I store a UTC date in the database, but would like to display it in local time on the form. I am unclear how to do this, since .ToLocalTime() is a method, not a property of a date.
Is there some way to use either the CBM or via code to make the binding to DateLastModified.ToLocalTime()?
Thanks!
Heather

Make your own custom property (like "FullName")

David,
I assume you mean add something like this to all my BOs:
/// <summary>
/// Get the Localized Version of DateLastModified
/// </summary>
public DateTime? DateLastModifiedLocal
{
get
{
if (this.DateLastModified != null)
return this.DateLastModified.Value.ToLocalTime();
else
return null;
}
}
That will take a little time, but is certainly do-able.
Thanks!
Heather

That was what I was thinking of.
