Bug in EWS Managed API: GetUserAvailability - SOAP call does not include time component of TimeWindow

  When using the GetUserAvailability method on the ExchangeService object the Time component of the StartDate and EndDate properties of the TimeWindow parameter do not get included in the soap call that results.

  
  

  The below code is trying to find user availability between 0900 and 1400 on 01/12/2009 for two users. Lines in bold.

  
  

  ExchangeService service = CreateServiceReferences();
  AttendeeInfo[] attendees = new AttendeeInfo[] { "user1@example.com", "user2@example.com" };
  DateTime startDate = new DateTime(2009, 12, 1, 9, 0, 0);
  DateTime endDate = new DateTime(2009, 12, 2, 14, 0, 0);
  TimeWindow timeWindow = new TimeWindow(startDate, endDate);
  
  service.TraceEnabled = true;
  service.TraceFlags = TraceFlags.All;
  
  GetUserAvailabilityResults results = service.GetUserAvailability(attendees, timeWindow, AvailabilityData.FreeBusy);

  
  

  The trace output is below.  You will notice that the time component of the Time Window is set to 00:00:00.  This results in an exception because StartDate and EndDate are the same date AND time, when the time should be different.  Lines in bold.
