Hi All,

herez my issue:

i have a server which has a ET time setting on it.
i have clients who will be accessing my web application from both ET and IST time zones.

ET is 7 hours behind the GMT.
IST is 5.5 hours ahead of GMT.

I should display the right time depending on which timezone the client is logging into my web application.

in my current code i am taking UTC (GMT) as the key time. Here is my code which does it.

//Get the user's timezone

TimeZone myTime = TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone;

TimeSpan myTimeSpan = myTime.GetUtcOffset(new DateTime(DateTime.Today.Year, DateTime.Today.Month, DateTime.Today.Day));

DateTime today = DateTime.UtcNow;

DateTime todayServer = DateTime.UtcNow;

DateTime retDateTime = DateTime.Now;

//Localtime = UTC + UTC Offset

todayServer = todayServer.Add(myTimeSpan);

int compare = DateTime.Compare(todayServer, today);

switch(compare)

{

case 0: // GMT

retDateTime = today;

break;

case 1: // Local Time

retDateTime = todayServer;

break;

case -1: // Server Time

retDateTime = todayServer;

break;

default:

break;

}

return retDateTime;

----

but everytime i get only one timezone setting: ET. because the following statement returns -1.

DateTime.Compare(todayServer, today);

where todayServer returns the ET and today returns the GMT/UTC.


How can i modify my above code so that it handles both ET and IST issue?

TIA

Mohith
