Bug in templates? - Date handling

sune42 posted on Wednesday, November 15, 2006

Hi

Toaday in the templates all SmartDate (DateTime) objectecs are
initialized like

        private SmartDate _lastVisit = new SmartDate(DateTime.Today);

The problem is that Today does not provide any time information, so entires
in the DB gets a bit wrong as there's no time information provided if I do not
set it by my self.

Would it not be better /consistent to change that to DateTime.Now instead?

Andy,
code generater will never accurately predict how will you use datetime property therefore choosing Now over Today won't be any better either, since there is time that you're only interested in date not time.

You can use the dataportal_create to initialize default values
