TIniFile.ReadDateTime

function ReadDateTime(const Section, Ident: string; Default: TDateTime): TDateTime Section: Section name Ident: Property name (key) Default: Value used as a result when the key has not been found Result: Value of a key (if successful) or Default (if not)

Description
This function will try to read a TDateTime value from specified section and key If it fails to do so for some reason, the Default value is returned. This function is very similar to ReadDate, however, it includes an hour. Important: Result is a number of days that have passed since 1899-12-30 till date under the key in the ini file. Because of that, it's probably a good idea to use ReadString to read a clarified date. You could also encode it using one of the available Functions
