User defined types in CSharp

Hi

I created a project in VB6 and now converting it to CSharp
In my vb6 project i defined a User defined type as below

Code:

---


Type Dated
        day    As String
        month  As String
        year    As String
End Type

---

Now i want to convert it to CSharp (i searched it on the web but helpless)

How can i acomplish this in CSharp?

any help will be appreciated a lot

Hi,

there is no need for own type for date, just have a look on the DateTime class, which is much more powerful, as you think.

Example

Code:

---

DateTime myDate = new DateTime(2008,11,11);

Thanks MNovy for suggestion but my emphases is user defined type conversion

struct

Maybe. But why to have fields as string? Why not do it this way:

Code:

---

public struct Dated
{
  public int day;
  public int month;  As String
  public int year;
}

---

But I have another question: does it make sence to have strings as members of a struct? More generally: does it make sence to have reference type as members of a struct?

heartiest thanks for the help.

Really it does not make any sense to define day,month,year as string.

The code was just an example and your help made me capable to step ahead.

Silly

Be VERY aware of the differences between a struct and a class!!!!!!!!!!
