[mono-android] corruption on dates

[John Murray]

I have a static date field 

e.g   

public static DateTime Myclass.indepdate =DateTime.Now

 

I am passing into another method which constructs and executes an SQL string


I convert the datetime on passing the parameter to the method thus

MyOtherclass.checklogbookforGAR(this,Myclass.aircraftreg,Myclass.indepdate.T
oString("yyyy-MM-dd"));

 

When one checks what string turns up in the sql after these parameters are
passed it is blank 

Before calling the method MyClass.indepdate seems to have the correct date
in it 

I cannot check the conversion Myclass.indepdate.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")

Because VS2010 debugger just reports a load of Chinese characters - you can
tell the correct date is in there by drilling down in the debugger to see
Myclass.indepdate.month and .year etc but one cannot get a result from the
above conversion 

 

Am I doing something wrong with my declarations or is this a peculiarity of
statics or of VS2010 

I have noticed before that the debugger has some difficulty with converting
datetimes on the fly but previously when I've notcided this the date
conversion gets done properly when the code runs - here the conversion is
delivering a blank string

Any ideas anyone?
