DateTime.dll

dumppe.exe works as well, and it's right there in masm32\bin.

Have a poke around the Windows API functions, you can do it all that way.

Where would I find what's in the Windows API?

Where would I find what's in the Windows API?

You are familiar with MSDN, aren't you? Or maybe not. Microsoft Developer's Network is the place.

Here's one entry point: Functions by Category. In your case you might want to look at the Time Functions. (Another way to find functions by name is Functions in Alphabetical Order.)

It's all there. You just have to root around and you'll find it.

For most of the older stuff, get yourself a copy of WIN32.HLP. Learn how to find your way around it and you will be able to access most things. For much later data, the suggestion to read around MSDN is the right one.

[NoCforMe]

So where does one get a copy of this file?

Hi NoCforMe,

[TimoVJL]

chm works too:

Hi NoCforMe,

https://github.com/trietptm/OllyDbg-Archive/blob/master/HLP-Files/win32.hlp

Thanks!

For those who code a lot, there is xHelp: it searches the Win32 API, the Windows SDK *.h files and all the Masm32 SDK help files for a given string.

Interesting stuff, but where is the documentation? I found this, but I doubt it's the right one:

Code: [Select]

daysToEOY Returns the number of days to the end of the year of this Date.
Besides, many of these very specialised functions can be obtained with other means:

Print Str$("Christmas is %i days from now", -TimeDiff(d, now:TimeSF("24.12.2022")))

Output: Christmas is 153 days from now

Similar with JodaTime:

Code: [Select]

public Days daysToNewYear(LocalDate fromDate) {
  LocalDate newYear = fromDate.plusYears(1).withDayOfYear(1);
  return Days.daysBetween(fromDate, newYear);
}
See also Elapsed time without considering weekends and bank holidays in Java

P.S.: Try googling "IsWorkingDay" "datetime". Over 5,000 results, from a plethora of libraries and languages including C#, Java and others.

Hello,

Without documentation and import library, it would be very difficult to use any version of datetime.dll

Why not to try Greg Lyon's DateTime library?

\masm32\help\DateTime.chm

[TimoVJL]

OP wanted DateTime.dll

Everyone can make own functions with Win32 API.

EDIT:
With C code.
https://zetcode.com/gui/winapi/datetime/

[NoCforMe]

Or just use the exiting Win32 functions, which cover most of the ground anybody would need ...

[vitsoft]

Thanks, but I meant how to do it myself. I like challenges like this.

So do I. If you want to parse a DLL in assembly by yourself, this commented source could highlight how to find .edata section in PE optional header (both 32bit and 64bit), how to collect exported names and print them.
