Problem Displaying Server Timezone DateTime To Client Timezone DateTime

[reach2raziq]

Hi All,

I have one web site and server that is hosted on "Pacific Standard Time" Zone .
When a user from different contries creat blogs the displayed time for respective blog will be a server time..
the code below is what i am using for conversion..

TimeZoneInfo PTZone = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById( "Pacific Standard Time" );

lbl_createonvalue.Text = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime( DateTime.Parse( incident.CreatedOn.ToString() ), PTZone, TimeZoneInfo.Local ).ToString( "MM/dd/yyyy" );


But i want Date Time to be displayed on respective timezones.

Is there any Javascript that can handel conversion at client side or any other code that works good for my scenario

Can any one help out from this..

Since JavaScript works in the client's browser it will be able to detect the user's current time.

Use JavaScript to set a the value of HiddenField with the date/time information. The server will be able to access the HiddenField and can save the blog information accordingly.

Just be aware that the client's computer might have invalid information (the time could be wrong etc)...and you should always validate any input coming from the browser (the end user might have malicious intent and provide something other than a date in the HiddenField that may cause damage to your site).

In my application i am not saving the blog created time. datetime is automatically handled by crm server.. just while populating those information on to client browser, i want to display it in client timezone.

You going to have to use JavaScript to determine the client's time zone....and somehow pass that information to the server (using a HiddenField or Cookie or something).

The JavaScript getTimeZoneOffset() method will return you the difference in minutes between Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and client's local time. You can use this information on the server to determine what time should be displayed.

Or you could simply do this in JavaScript.
Use JavaScript to retrieve the date/time value returned by the server, use JavaScript to calculate the Greenwich Mean time, use JavaScript to adjust the date/time value accordingly. The only thing is that the JavaScript method is going to have to know what time zone the Server is in.

So yeah, there's more than one way to solve this problem.
Pick one and give it a try :)
