Hi Guys

The code below don't work in CIL.

If i try to execute on CIL, the result is Microsoft.Dynamics.Ax.Xpp.AxShared.Date and not 2/3/2014

You have find an similar issue ?

Any suggest ?

System.Object[] arrObjs = new System.Object[1]();  

Description retCurrent;                                                

arrObjs.SetValue( systemDateGet(), 0);

retCurrent = System.String::Format(System.Globalization.CultureInfo::GetCultureInfo("en-us"), "{0:d}", arrObjs);

    Hi Denis,

    Cast it to a System.DateTime first:

       System.Object[] arrObjs = new System.Object[1]();  

       Description retCurrent;                                                

       System.DateTime dt;

       dt = systemDateGet();

       arrObjs.SetValue(dt, 0);

       retCurrent = ClrInterop::getAnyTypeForObject(System.String::Format(System.Globalization.CultureInfo::GetCultureInfo("en-us"), "{0:d}", arrObjs));

       info (retCurrent);

    Hi Klaas

    Thanks for your reply.

    I have cast the datetime and now work.

    For a test, i have removed the cast, compiled CIL and now work also.. strange...

    I'm a little bit confuse...

    Yes, it is strange. It definitely not good when you get different results with or without CIL.

    Good thing you're problem is fixed :).
