Calling C++/CLI Method with System::DateTime parameter requires 'ValueType' as a parameter?
- by David Ipsen
I'm attempting to call a method written in C++/CLI from C#. The C++/CLI code is used to update a TIMESTAMP column in an Oracle database, given a record ID and the System::DateTime object which is the .NET compatible data type for Oracle's TIMESTAMP type.
The method I am calling has the following prototype:
bool ChangeJobUpdateDate (int jobIdIn, System::DateTime^ updateDateIn)
I've added a reference to this DLL project in a test project that I made; I'm writing the tests in C#. However, when I try to call this method from the C# unit test project, the function appears to have the following method declaration (via intellisense):
bool ChangeJobUpdateDate (int jobIdIn, ValueType updateDateIn)
I'm admittedly not that familiar with C++/CLI, so is there something I'm missing?
