IDataFunctions::ConvertTimeString

The ConvertDateString method converts a string representation of the time to a DATE VARIANT, based on the specified locale. The vt member of this VARIANT must be initialized to VT_BSTR, and its pbstrVal member must contain the BSTR value to convert.

HRESULT ConvertTimeString(
VARIANT vtDate,// in
VARIANT vtLocale,// in
VARIANT *pvarDate// out
);

Parameters

vtDate

A VARIANT that contains the string expression of the date. The vt member of this VARIANT must be of type BSTR, and must not contain a date value. If a date value is present, then the pvarDate out-value is set to NULL.

vtLocale

A VARIANT that specifies the locale to be used to perform the conversion. If this VARIANT is empty (VT_EMPTY) or NULL (VT_NULL), ConvertTimeString uses the locale specified by a previous call to put_Locale.

pvarDate

If successful, a pointer to a VARIANT that contains the converted value; otherwise, NULL.
