.Net System.DateTime not working?

Hello,

I have been trying access the properties on the .Net System.DateTime class, however it is not working and all properties result in '1'.

For Example:

OBJECT('System.DateTime'), INTENT(IN) :: testDate
INTEGER :: Day
INTEGER :: Month
INTEGER :: Year

Day = testDate%Day
Month = testDate%Month
Year = testDate%Year

However after the above code has executed the variables Day, Month and Year will all be '1' and not the values that were sent into the subroutine.

I have also expierianced some very strange runtime problems when trying to get around this issue using a data helper class i coded to interface with FORTRAN.

It seems that the pointer to the DateTime object is being lost or misrepresented.

Can anyone please explain how I can access these properties on a DateTime object?

Thanks, Alex.
