[Mono-devel-list] DateTime Parameters in MSSQL Server

Joerg,

Thanks for this response, I never really considered what MMM would do in non-english speaking locales. 

I agree with you that the ISO standard dates should be used for the software to SQL parameter passing since; after all it is the standard. However I will continue to use "dd MMM yyyy" in my date controls (i.e. the parts the users type into) since trying to get users to enter dates in ISO standard is virtually impossible.

Regards,

I think this only works because your month names are english too.
In other locales the month names are different. For us the best way 
is to use ISO dates: "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss". This can be parsed in all
locales (at least I think so).

Joerg.
