[mono-android] corruption on dates

[John Murray]

Yes I've come across it before and it has indeed been just a debugger
irritation
But the issue on this occasion is that my conversions
Myclass.indepdate.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")
Are delivering an empty string 
I have changed the code to place the month year and day into int variables
then constructed my own string format 
This works

The DateTime corruption should just be a display bug for the debugger. 
If you expand the DateTime variable, you should see that all the integer 
values of the DateTime are correct, like Day, Month, Hour, etc.
