web service is not a valid date

Belias

hi everyone, the screenshot is self explanatory...can you explain me why?
(the date format is correctly set to ddmmyy), nav service, server and client on the same pc (my laptop)
in other words, i'm not able to set a date filter
thanks in advance

May be something like this: viewtopic.php?f=32&t=38402 ?

May be the personalisation will help...

Cool, it works, thank you!!this is a valuable info, because we (or better, mycolleagues) are going to develop webservices for 6 different nations...
i think the problem is that my user personalization was set to enu (as always ), but my windows collation (that's also the database collation) was italian.
this is very bad for me, because i can't use enu language in nav while having italian formats for dates.
NOTE: after some tests, i noticed that deleting and recreating the user personalization line solve the problem :-k
i mean that no matter what language code i set, the webservice works nice...is this possible?

Don't understand it either...!

My guess is you need to start RTC Client on the server with domain account ABC. This creates this personalization record. Which is read by the webservice (which is running under de ABC account).
Changing it means restarting the service. Im not going to test this..Im just happy this topic helped me to fix this problem

Just a short question, wouldn't it be better to use the xml format of date / datetime to be passed? then you shouldn't have language issues with date, right?

haven't tried this but maybe this works and solves all language related date issues:

System.Xml.XmlConvert.ToString(DateTime.Now);

The personalization settings thing is ok, and worked for me too, in another case (error messages) but i found it a bit buggy...
