Problem with "Time" type in XML strings [message #36079]

Hello Mirek

There have been a change that have affected a "Ye olde reliable" code I have Smile

.

After debugging I have found that in the past, Time vars used "Time" tag in XML strings. However, now the tag is a lowercase "time".

The problem is that in Value.cpp, line 375, GetType(name) with name == "Time", returns -1. It works well with "time" returning 5.

Best regards
Iñaki

I've spent two evenings debugging why big project failed to work with latest big changes in U++.
After changing "Time" to "time" in XML configuration, everything started working.

So far we have two options:
1. Change "time" -> "Time" in latest U++. We will have "binary" compatibility with "old" XML files. Which may be very important.
2. We may keep "time", but in this case we should change "String" -> "string" to comply latest changes. This may be less important than having compatibility with old code generated files.
