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 have been struggling with this for days now. Most of my clients run IE 8, but I got issues with two of them. In my app I use the Majorversion to enable some controls on the webfrom. However, at these two clients the majorversion returned is 7 instead of 8.
I have disabled the compatibility mode of IE 8 so it runs in IE 8 mode. Furthermore, I addes an app_browser folder to my application and putted in a ie.browser file with the correct information. This doesn't solve the problem however. It still returns IE 7 as browser instead of IE 8.
The UA-string however is correct. when I visit a testsite with this same browser on the same workstation, I get the correct browser values. So it is a local thing. I still don't understand why the file in the app_browser folder is not working.
I just created this folder on the already existing application folder and putted the browser file in it. That should be enough. Isn't it? My application is a compile webapplication.
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 a weird thing happening. I have two identical databases installed on one virtual machine but under two different instances of SQLServer. For some reason, periodically when saving from one it will save to the other instead. Using debug, I have verified that the connection string is correct and when the item saves, it still saves to the wrong database.I use session variable, and am of the belief that it might have something to do with it...and t hat when I go from one to the other it is still getting the connection string form the other for some reason.To make sure that it isn't a problem, I make sure that I completely close out one database before opening the other in a new IE window.I assume that when I completely close out an internet explorer window that it abandons all session states. Is that true?
View 7 RepliesI have a very weird thing happening. I have two databases that have exactly the same tables but different database names on the same virtual machine, but in different instances of SQL Server. For some reason, when using one of them, it will save to the other. In debug, looking at my connection string..I have verified that it is correct, yet when I allow the save, I look in the table and it isn't there, it is in the other database that is in a table with a completely different name and in a different instance of SQL Server.

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 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.
I want get timezone list to combo box. How can i get timezone list?

View 1 RepliesWhen 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

View 4 RepliesSuppose 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"

View 1 RepliesI 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 want to know about some FREE web service to which i give the ip address as the input and it will return with the Location info(e.g. Country,State,City etc) ,Language info (e.g. en-US,fr-FR etc), and the TimeZoneOffset (with respect to GMT) for the corresponding ip address. I also want this web service to handle DaylightSaving issue properly for any place in the world.
