) throw( );

Parameters

  • nYear, nMonth, nDay, nHour, nMin, nSec
    Indicate the date and time components to be copied into this COleDateTime object.

If the day of the month overflows, it is converted to the correct day of the next month and the month and/or year is incremented accordingly. A day value of zero indicates the last day of the previous month. The behavior is the same as SystemTimeToVariantTime Function.

If the date or time value specified by the parameters is not valid, the status of this object is set to invalid and the value of this object is not changed.
