Hi,
Being from one of the original US colonies (the UK), we get our dates the wrong way around, i.e. dd/mm/yyyy.
When I use the the 'date:' column in the API it's always en-US culture. Is that right, as the locale-dates then need converting for comparisons/math
I was happily assuming that the new 2.6+ API would make this better, in that the API would be 'culturally aware', but you know what they say about people who assume, so thought I should check/suggest the idea.
Also, as I am developing a product that embeds/utilizies the WDS, is there a way to sign up for beta's of the SDK etc, i.e. as I would be able to offer feedback
Culture aware dates

Hi David,
I really appologize for the delay in getting back to you.
Basically The date is always returned as the language neutral VARIANT VT_FILETIME. You should be able to take this value from the query and format it any way you like when displaying it.
I hope this helps!
Jeff
