How To Get Timezone Before Postback
Jul 7, 2010
I am making a page that accepts post data from any number of pages that I cannot change, access, or in any way control.
I need, in one way or another, to get the timezone of the user. I know, ideally the posting page would do this, but I cannot access these pages.
First, there is javascript. I can get the javascript function to return (or change a label to) the correct value, but the problem is I need this info before the postback. I've been trying to write the timezone name on another page and read that page, but I have no idea how to begin to do that? Any other workaround to use the javascript is welcome, or any way to force call this before Page_Load is called?
[code]...
Basically, this works in debug mode, but when it's live only an empty string is returned. I am baffled? Is there any better way to read data from a page? I am using Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"] to get the ip, and that seems to be correct, since it inserts the correct ip into the database I'm using.
Here is the call:
GetTimezone(Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"]);

I have a client side JavaScript that generates a date in JavaScript( new Date(2007,5,1)).
I need this date passed through to a hidden field that the code behind can access.
My issue is that when the hidden field is converted into a DotNet datetime, the time is incorrect. This is because the JavaScript is including timezone info from the client browser.
DotNet is then using this info to recalculate the time based on the difference between the server time and the client time.
What i need from the JavaScript is just the year, month and day.
I don't want to pass through 3 int values to my code behind as this will be a major change to the whole app.
What is the best way for me to accomplish this?
If i can set a UTC time with no timezone info I think that might work.

I have an ASP.NET web application that requires users to select their appropriate time zone so that it can correctly show local times for events.
In creating a simple approach for selecting the time zone, I started by just using the values from TimeZoneInfo.GetSystemTimeZones(), and showing that list.
The only problem with this is that since our application is primarily targeted at the United States, I'd like to show those entries first, basically starting with Eastern Time and working backwards (West) until I reach Atlantic time.

To get the correct timezone of the user I get the offset first using javascript:-
var offset =new Date().getTimezoneOffset();
and then I apply assign the value to the server side variable.where I get the timezone using :-
ReadOnlyCollection<TimeZoneInfo> timeZones = TimeZoneInfo.GetSystemTimeZones();
foreach (TimeZoneInfo timeZone in timeZones)
{

I'm building an ASP web app that stores appointment times; it'll be used in different timezones. I'm currently saving an appointment in the database as a datetime field. Do I also need to add a field to save the timezone ? What's the best option to solve these multi-timezone issues?

for some reason when I use the following code
TimeSpan timeDiffUtcServer = TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.GetUtcOffset(DateTime.Now);
it returns -07:00:00 offset
I am using Windows XP and my timezone is set to Pacific time -08:00. I am running this through VS 2010's built in IIS server which is on my computer, so I can't figure out why the discrepancy in time.

I'm trying to write cookies from my website and I'm trying to figure out what implications timezones has over the HttpCookie.Expire property. Should I be passing DateTime.Now.AddDays(1) or DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(1) or the users's timezone plus a day?

When a post is made to the site/database, it's made as Universal Time. A user can set the site's default timezone from a dropdown menu in the admin area, which saves the selected timezone to a database table (table: DefaultTimezone, column: Timezone). Now, how can I adjust the following code to display the datetime according to the correct timezone, that was set in the database? So if the Timezone column has "US Eastern Standard Time" in it, it would display the published datetime in that format.
<%#Eval("Published", "{0:MMM dd, yyyy - h:mm tt}") %>

If my user is in California and they have their computer set to PST, it's 1:00 pm there. If my server is set to EST, the current server time is 4:00 pm.
I need a way to get the timezone difference between the client and the server, either in Javascript or C#. In my example, I would get 3 (or -3, doesn't matter).
Does anyone know how to do this?
EDIT: Possible solution for RedFilter
Doing it all in javascript:
serverDate = new Date('<%= DateTime.Now.ToString() %>');
clientDate = new Date();
diffMin = (serverDate.getTime()-clientDate.getTime())*1000*60; //get difference in minutes

Suppose I have a string in U.S datetime format, "2/25/2010" and the server is on U.S East Coast with a timezone offset of "-5". When I convert the string via
Convert.ToDateTime("2/25/2010").ToUniversalTime(), it saved as "2/25/2010 5:00:00 AM" (which is correct as local server time for it is 2/25/2010 12:00:00 AM"
Now, suppose my user is in the U.S central time with a timezone offset of "-6", what I want to do is convert it approriately and when this user from central time do "Convert.ToDateTime("2/25/2010").ToUniversalTime()" type of statement, the datetime saved will be "2/25/2010 6:00:00 AM"

I have the following code for use in my asp.net website:
CalendarService service = new CalendarService("mycalendar");
EventQuery query = new EventQuery();
query.Uri = new Uri(group.GroupEventsURL);
query.SingleEvents = true;
query.SortOrder = CalendarSortOrder.ascending;
query.ExtraParameters = "orderby=starttime";
query.NumberToRetrieve = 50;
query.TimeZone = "America/Chicago";
EventFeed feed = service.Query(query);
Which produces the following URL:
[URL]
According to the documentation (emphasis mine), I expect the Times in each EventEntry to be in the Central time zone:
The current timezone. If not specified, times are returned in the calendar time zone.
Times in the resulting feed will be represented in this timezone.
Replace all spaces with underscores (e.g. "ctz=America/Los_Angeles").
But my server is hosted in Arizona, so (for now) all of the dates on the calendar are two hours earlier than they should be. Am I doing something wrong? How do I get the dates in the feed to be in the Central time zone even though the server is in Arizona?
I do not plan on moving my hosting any time soon, but since Arizona does not participate in Daylight Savings Time, I cannot simply add two hours to every date.

I'm creating an iCal feed using DDay.iCal. It works, but I can't figure out how to set the timezone for the feed. Here's the basic code:
iCalendar iCal = new iCalendar();
// <-- Set the Timezone HERE to PST (Pacific Daylight Time)
Event evt = iCal.Create<Event>();
evt.Start = new iCalDateTime(meeting.MeetDate);
evt.End = evt.Start.AddHours(4); // 4 hour event
evt.Description = "This meeting...";
evt.Summary = "Event Summary";
