I have a custom Type, like this:
Type MyCustomType (UserID As Int, Active As Boolean, EffDt As Long)
I read from a database (msaccess) and load the retrieved values into the custom Type, like this:
Dim m As Map
m = rows.Get(i)
Log(m)
Select Job.JobName
Case "MyJobName"
Dim pr As MyCustomType
pr.UserID = m.Get("UserID")
pr.Active = m.Get("Active")
pr.EffDt = m.Get("EffDt")
ListOfMyCustomType.Add(pr)
End Select
My goal is simply to load the ticks into pr.Effdt. I can see from the Log that it has retrieved ticks, which is perfect, but marked the value as a /Date/ - see image. This is okay with me, but it causes an error on the line pr.Effdt=m.Get("EffDt"). Strangely, the error says "Invalid double" even though the datatype of the target field is Long.
This should work, no? Is there another (better) way to load a date?
P.S., my temporary workaround is:
Dim s As String = m.Get("EffDt")
s = s.SubString2(6, s.Length-2)
pr.EffDt = s
