           Summary: DataTime has wrong size/format
    Classification: Mono
           Product: Mono: Class Libraries
           Version: 2.6.x
          Platform: All

sizeof(DateTime) is 16 bytes but must be 8 bytes. So any transfers DateTime
from Mono to .NET or vice versa causing lost of data.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



this is mono format:
public struct DateTime : IFormattable, IConvertible, IComparable,
IComparable<DateTime>, IEquatable <DateTime>
{
    private TimeSpan ticks;
    DateTimeKind kind;
...
}


this is .NET format:
// The data is stored as an unsigned 64-bit integeter
//   Bits 01-62: The value of 100-nanosecond ticks where 0 represents 1/1/0001
12:00am, up until the value
//               12/31/9999 23:59:59.9999999
//   Bits 63-64: A four-state value that describes the DateTimeKind value of
the date time, with a 2nd
//               value for the rare case where the date time is local, but is
in an overlapped daylight
//               savings time hour and it is in daylight savings time. This
allows distinction of these
//               otherwise ambiguous local times and prevents data loss when
round tripping from Local to
//               UTC time.
private UInt64 dateData;
