Default Using a PropertyAccessor custom datetime property in Views

Hello,

I'm having problems getting a datetime property (added using
PropertyAccessor) to display as a column in a customised View.

I've added the datetime property to the PropertyAccessor using the following
code...

objMailItem.PropertyAccessor.SetProperty("http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/string/{FFF40745-D92F-4C11-9E14-92701F001EB3}/DocumentDate", dtDocumentDate)

....where dtDocumentDate is a Date variable.

I've then tried to customise the folder's View to show this custom property
as a column. This is the XML excerpt...

column
typedatetime/type
headingDocumentDate/heading
prophttp://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/string/{FFF40745-D92F-4C11-9E14-92701F001EB3}/DocumentDate/prop
width200/width
stylepadding-left:3px;;text-align:left/style
editable1/editable
formatM/d/yyyy||h:mm tt/format
displayformat2/displayformat
/column

.... but the when I run the application, the this DocumentDate column just
displays the word "None".

If i changed the XML to use a string column instead of a datetime column,
then it displays the date, but the column sorting doesn't work properly
because Outlook is treating the values as strings.

How do i reference a custom datetime property in the View XML? Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

I'm using VSTO with Outlook 2007.

Thanks,
Wayne.
