How do I obtain the hour offset (from GMT) / time zone from the user's system? Thanks! -Noah

Obtain Time Zone

Noah,

You can get the TimeZone instance that represents the current time zone
by calling the static CurrentTimeZone property on the TimeZone class. Once
you have this, you can call the GetUtcOffset on the instance returned and it
will give you the offset from GMT.

Hope this helps.

Nicholas,

I think he means on the client in an ASP.NET web application.

Noah,

I don't believe it's possible. You can only get the timezone
on the web server.

Nicholas was correct, I just needed the TimeZone on the local computer. But
thanks for the additional information.

Cheers,
