Hello Brillo, and thank you for your question.

Cbi.Globals.MinDate is a C# DateTime object which is used as an earliest possible date. Generally, the common convention across the world is to use a time called "the epoch" (January 1st, 1970 AD) for this purpose. In Unix systems, for instance, this is time 0, and time 86400 would be 1 day after the epoch since there are 86400 seconds in a day.

This time can be represented in C# as follows :

[FONT=Courier New]new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc)[/FONT]

Otherwise, to get the actual NT7 value of Cbi.Globals.MinDate (January 1st, 1 BC), we can use

[FONT=Courier New]new DateTime(0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc)[/FONT]

Please let us know if there are any other ways we may help.

You may find it safer to code your own static values in your own utility class.
