Filebased Geodatabase Date Filtering
So I had to add some functionality to filter by date and normally this is really simple in ArcObjects as you use the IQueryFilter::WhereClause and enter a date formatted where clause in there.
One problem though. I am using Filebased Geodatabase and I did not know what the correct way to encode the date is! I thought about it for a little while and then decided to use the trusty Query Builder from within ArcMap. It worked a charm.
It is hard to see but they encode the date by pre-pending ‘date ‘ and encoding the actual date in ‘yyyy-mm-dd’ format.
Must archive this somewhere in my brain where it will not get lost!
