dotnet distributed apps:
I have been using the configuration management application block for a while
now, recently I have been having an error message from CAMB saying:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.
Parameter name: Year, Month, and Day parameters describe an unrepresentable
DateTime.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the code is very simple:
Dim oConfig As New Hashtable
Dim sParam As String
oConfig = ConfigurationManager.Read("UserProfile")
sParam = oConfig("DefaultCategory")
this is the full error stack:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
