SmartDate enhancements (v.2)

tiago posted on Tuesday, June 03, 2008

Hi all,

I find SmartDate quite useful. But I thought I could improve it.

Besides the standard CSLA shortcuts for dates

• "Yesterday" or "y" or "-"
• "Today" or "t" or "." (dot)
• "Tomorrow" or "tom" or "+"

I added the following shortcuts

• "<" to enter the same day of last month
• ">" to enter the same day of next month
• "-nn" to enter nn days before the current date
• "+nn" to enter nn days after the current date
• ".nn" (dot nn) to enter nn day of the current month
• "<nn" to enter nn day of last month
• ">nn" to enter nn day of next month
• "nn" to enter nearest nn day (if today is the 25th, the nearest 5th will be next month, although the nearest 15th was this same month)

I had to change SmartDate.cs. I enclose the changed file as well as the diff file. SmartDate.cs will go on the Csla folder.

Rocky, can you consider including this change on the next release?

TIA

P.S. - Yesterday right after posting, I realised there were problems changing year. Now those problems are solved. As a side effect, non existent days of short monthes (31st Feb, etc) are now converted to the last existent day of that month. Suppose you are on 10th May and input ">31". As there is no 31st Jun, instead of producing an illegal date, ">31" is converted to the 30st Jun.

Hi Rocky,

I have this working on Csla 4.1.0.

The same question though:

Rocky, can you consider including this change on the next release?

Forgot to say: the attachement includes:

- replacement SmartDate.cs

- diff file with just the changes

I'll add this to the wish list, thanks.
