I ran across something odd in VB.NET and wonder if anyone has seen such in VB.NET or C#.
VS 2010
.NET 3.5
Win 7
exe compiled as Any CPU
debugging 64 bit
If a dataset contains a datatable that has a column that is a DateTimeOffset and that dataset is remoted (in my case a web service passes the dataset to a client), stepping through the following code shows that variable dto is 1-1-0001 00:00:00 00:00 rather than the date from the datatable row.
However, rather than stepping through the code, if the code runs to a break point after this line of code the value of variable dto is correct.
For Each r As DataRow In SomeDataTable.Rows
Dim dto As System.DateTimeOffset = CType(r.Item("SomeDate"), System.DateTimeOffset)
.
.
.
Next
In the Immediate Window the "? dto" reported the invalid value if stepped through as well. However, setting dto = CType(r.Item("SomeDate"), System.DateTimeOffset) in the Immediate Windows correctly set dto.
Odd. It looks like a debugger only issue but was curious if anyone else has seen issues with remoted DateTimeOffset datacolumns.
EDIT: added .net 3.5
