gMonthDay xsd type = string ?

[Michel Posseth [MCP]]

xsd:gMonthDay is a common type for dates , why is it mapped to a string
datatype when using wsdl.exe on a WSDL where it is defined as gMonthDay type

For those of you ever wondering the XSD types are strings and you can parse
them back and formward using the following code

Imports System.Runtime.Remoting.Metadata.W3cXsd2001


VB

Dim gMonthDay As SoapMonthDay = SoapMonthDay.Parse("--01-08")
MsgBox(gMonthDay.Value)

Dim gMonthDay2 As New SoapMonthDay(Now)

MsgBox(gMonthDay2.ToString)

C#

private void Test()

{

SoapMonthDay xsdMonthDay = SoapMonthDay.Parse("--01-08");

Interaction.MsgBox(xsdMonthDay.Value);

}



gMonthDay.Value returnds a date variabel





And the other way around



private void Test2()

{

SoapMonthDay xsdMonthDay = new SoapMonthDay(Now);



Interaction.MsgBox(xsdMonthDay.ToString);





}
