Hiya all.
We're currently in the midst of our Ice implementation which is designed to offer a variety of language bindings (C#, Java, C++ and Python) to client developers.
As Ice is a cross-language technology it has (at least to my knowledge
) no built-in, cross-language way of handling date and time that maps directly to class-library types (System.DateTime or System.TimeSpan in C# for instance), nor do we expect it to. We are quite happy to roll our own solution to the problem, however before we do I was wondering if there is any community accepted paradigm or experience we should know about.
Thanks.
Ciao.
