Remove interface `IDateTime` and replace any use with `CalDateTime` #705

minichma · 2025-01-22T17:45:08Z

The changes in this PR are in based on the discussion in #705 (comment), where we discussed whether arithmetics and timezone-related operations on should be moved out of CalDateTime in favor of a more flexible approach where we could even configure different timezone databases in a future iteration. We decided against it for reasons of available resources, so arithmetics are kept as part of CalDateTime. Based on that the PR implements several improvements, most notably:

Remove the interface IDateTime in favor of using CalDateTime directly.
Simplify the type hierarchy of CalDateTime, i.e. stop it inheriting from EncodableDataType
Get rid of CalDateTime.AssociatedObject

Ical.Net/DataTypes/CalDateTime.cs

 /// </remarks>
 /// </summary>
-public sealed class CalDateTime : EncodableDataType, IComparable<CalDateTime>, IFormattable
+public sealed class CalDateTime : IComparable<CalDateTime>, IFormattable


... or even struct? (not in this PR probably)

Yes, struct would certainly be good. But we'd have to deal with all the nullability stuff first, which is not perfectly straight forward. Next step could then be to do all that also for Period, PeriodList and maybe others.

Ical.Net/Utility/DateUtil.cs

 internal static class DateUtil
 {
-    public static DateTime GetSimpleDateTimeData(IDateTime dt)
+    public static DateTime GetSimpleDateTimeData(CalDateTime dt)


Should we remove this method? Using dt.Value is shorter and more clear

This is PR is still in progress, right? Just asking because I'm assigned to review.

minichma · 2025-01-31T23:36:22Z

Yes, it is still work in progress. I'm not quiet convinced, this is the right approach. Will try to comment more this weekend.

minichma · 2025-02-02T13:13:59Z

@axunonb I apologize for the delay, don't find sufficient time recently. I continued the discussion in #606 (reply in thread), as this is not really specific to this PR. Please let me know what you think!

minichma · 2025-02-02T19:20:11Z

Based on the discussion in #705 (comment) we decided to proceed, so the PR should be ready for review.

axunonb · 2025-02-02T22:42:15Z

public CalDateTime() { } should be internal or even private - nothing for the public API

axunonb · 2025-02-02T22:44:32Z

Ical.Net.Tests/DeserializationTests.cs


    /// <summary>
-    /// Tests bug #2938007 - involving the HasTime property in IDateTime values.
+    /// Tests bug #2938007 - involving the HasTime property in CalDateTime values.


Summary could be removed?

axunonb · 2025-02-05T08:36:31Z

Ical.Net/CalendarComponents/CalendarEvent.cs

    /// </note>
    /// </summary>
-    public virtual IDateTime? DtEnd
+    public virtual CalDateTime? DtEnd


Should we now remove the aliases End => DtEnd and Start => DtStart and just use the more intuitive End and Start everywhere?
(The underlying Properties could stay unchanged)

axunonb · 2025-02-05T08:40:08Z

Ical.Net/CalendarComponents/IUniqueComponent.cs

    IList<Attendee> Attendees { get; set; }
    IList<string> Comments { get; set; }
-    IDateTime DtStamp { get; set; }
+    CalDateTime DtStamp { get; set; }


or just Stamp?

Ical.Net/DataTypes/CalDateTime.cs

+    /// Gets the timezone name this time is in, if it references a timezone.
+    /// </summary>
    /// <remarks>This is an alias for <see cref="TzId"/></remarks>
    public string? TimeZoneName => TzId;


Remove the alias?

axunonb · 2025-02-05T09:00:38Z

Ical.Net/Utility/DateUtil.cs


 internal static class DateUtil
 {
-    public static DateTime GetSimpleDateTimeData(IDateTime dt)


axunonb · 2025-02-05T09:02:18Z

Ical.Net/VTimeZoneInfo.cs

    }

-    public virtual IDateTime DtStart
+    public virtual CalDateTime DtStart


There are many of these aliases, so maybe rather address remove the the Dt... properties in a separate PR
