           Summary: VB: Invalid conversion from Double to Date
           Product: Mono: Runtime
           Version: 1.9
          Platform: i686
        OS/Version: Ubuntu
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: misc
        AssignedTo: mono-bugs at lists.ximian.com
        ReportedBy: laza at blobworks.com

I did a test with the following vb code fragment:

Public Class Application
        Public Shared Sub Main()
                Dim datum as Date
                Dim oDatum as Object
                oDatum = CDate("10.10.2008").ToOADate
                datum = oDatum
                System.Console.WriteLine(datum)
        End Sub
End Class

This gives the (false) result of 01.01.0001 00:00:00 on mono.
On Windows with .net this gives an InvalidCastException during runtime.
