Looks like the problem may be in the MITAB driver itself: DateTime support has been added for writing only but has been skipped for reading.

I have reopened ticket 2585 about this, but it will be at least a couple of days before we have time to work on it:

I am using GDAL 1.6 Beta with VB.NET (through ogr_csharp) to read a TAB file with a Date or a Date Time field and I can’t use the following to get the date values (they are all 0):

.GetFeature(x).GetFieldAsDateTime(33, myyear, mymonth, myday, myhour, mymin, mysec, mytz)

However if I use:

.GetFeature(x).GetFieldAsString(33)

I get “2008102600000”.

Also if I try to create a new file with a datetime field it builds ok but the field has no values assigned to it.

Is this due to the csharp wrapper not yet supporting datetime fields in Mapinfo?
