DateTime.ToStri ng("R")

Just been debugging a daylight savings glitch... something that
interested me:

(in a BST locale at 5:14 local time, 4:14 GMT)

DateTime.Now.To String("R") >"Mon, 26 Mar 2007 05:14:34 GMT"

However...
DateTime.Now.Is DaylightSavingT ime() >true

DateTime.UtcNow .ToString("R") >"Mon, 26 Mar 2007 04:17:04 GMT"

Doesn't that make the DateTime.Now.To String("R") incorrect by RFC822?
Shouldn't it be using local offset?

Anyways... fixed using UTC formats ;-p

RTFM to myself:

<q>Formatting does not modify the value of the DateTime object that is
being formatted. Therefore, the application must convert the value to
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) before using this format specifier.</

Will DateTime.Now.ToString("s") ALWAYS return the same formatting (i.e. the sortable XML Schema style formatting) regardless of what culture the operating system is set to? I've done limited testing to show that this is the case when switching to the Italian culture, but I need to verify that in EVERY culture setting it will ALWAYS return the same format. Thanks. -- Greg Collins Visit Brain Trove ( http://www.BrainTrove.com )

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
