function TCustomIniFile.ReadDateTime(const Section: string; 
                                    const Ident: string; 
                                    Default: TDateTime) : TDateTime

    Description

    ReadDateTime reads the key Ident in section Section, and returns the value as a date/time (TDateTime). If the specified key or section do not exist, then the value in Default is returned. If the key exists, but contains an invalid date/time value, Default is also returned. The international settings of the SysUtils are taken into account when deciding if the read value is a correct date/time.
