New Post: DatemTime reading immposible.

# note: sample code using IronPython
e.Evaluate("x <- read.csv('c:/tmp/testdf.csv', header=T)")
e.Evaluate('str(x)')
# Simplest solution:
datesChar = e.Evaluate('as.character(x[,1])').ToArray()

# Or, if you insist in doing things in c#
df = e.Evaluate("x")
df = df.AsDataFrame()
dates = df[0]
indices = dates.AsInteger().ToArray()
levels = dates.AsFactor().GetFactors()
# Then reconstruct the array of strings by indexing and factors

Date,a,b,c,d
