Description
Reads and returns a value of the TDateTime type at the reader object's stream.
ReadDate is a helper method used by other reader methods to read a TDateTime type value at the current reader Position. ReadDate calls ReadValue to check whether the value-type indicator is vaDate, and then ReadDate calls Read to read a TDateTime type value and returns the retrieved value. Otherwise, ReadDate returns the stream position back before the value-type indicator, calls ReadInt64, and returns the retrieved value.
ReadDate advances the reader Position after the last byte it has read.
