SmartDate and ISmartField

Hi,

When generating some BOs from templates I found that the SmartDate class is missing. I've merged the class and the required interface (ISmartField) from the full CSLA project, removed the non-existing attribute from SmartDate and substituted the DateTime.TryParse with a call to a newly implemented:

   private static bool TryParseDateTime(string s, out DateTime result)
        {
            result = DateTime.MinValue;
            try
            {
                result = DateTime.Parse(s);
                return true;
            }
            catch (ArgumentNullException)
            {
                return false;
            }
            catch (FormatException)
            {
                return false;
            }
        }

I haven't yet tested it thoroughly but I think it should work.

Are there any other reasons why the SmartDate class has been removed from the CSLA CE project?

Thanks,
Michał
