OpenNETCF.WinApi.Core.TIME_ZONE_INFORMATION

[Daniel Moth]

Hi

I was playing with the TimeZoneCollection and always got an
ArgumentException (emulator and CE device).. Turns out the value passed to
the DaylightName has loads of trailing nulls so the BlockCopy method throws
the exception... Inserting 1 line of code fixes it (for me anyway)...


public string DaylightName
set
{
value=value.TrimEnd(new char[]{(char)0});// FIXES ARGUMENT EXCEPTION

byte[] bytes = System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes( value );
Buffer.BlockCopy(bytes, 0, flatStruct, daylightNameOffset, bytes.Length );
}

Cheers
Daniel

PS By the way, good work guys!

In fact, it's already fixed. Unfortunately, I fixed it just after the last
release went live (hours later)!
