Got 'em all on my Palmpilot, and I sit on the train each evening listening
to PM on Radio 4 (thats a news programme) and reading Pratchet, giggling
insanely every so often... guaranteed to get a seat to myself every time.

I got 'em from some bloke selling sausages in a bun. He swore they were
legal, copied bitwise by some monks in a monastery in the ramtops.
Plus, legal wrangle coming up, I own them all on paper so I already paid...
and here rests the case for the defence. .

Hmmm... I don't think that argument will stand up in court in the UK...
It might in the Netherlands, at least if you'd made the copy yourself,
but I don't think "backup copy" falls under fair use in your country.
Of course, you're not likely to get into trouble unless you sell them
on.

I created a UTC clock using this:
UTCTime = MyTime.ToUniversalTime()
Now that we've turned the clocks ahead 1 hour for daylight savings time, the
clock is reporting the wrong UTC time. It is reporting UTC + 1 hour.
Is this a bug or is there a way I can querey for daylight time and make the
adjustment in my application?
Thanks.

Colleagues,
I wanted to share a function to find if a date is in Daylight Saving
Time or not. I was able to make this function faster than reading MSDN
to find functions that .NET provides. I didnt know if .NET was equipped
with the new changes President Bush made with respect to Daylight
Saving Time increase starting 2007. I could have found out by trying
..NET functions, only if I wasnt a lousy syntax scavanger.

Hi everyone,
I have 3 different time zones that I'm working with. Basically
converting from UTC to those 3 time zones.
Eastern Daylight Time (GMT -04:00, New York)
Central Daylight Time (GMT -05:00, Chicago)
Pacific Daylight Time (GMT -07:00, San Francisco)
Using C# I know how to detect if Daylight saving time is applied or not

Hi, All,
My app picks ccurrent time on the PC to retrieve data from sql DB, the Sql
data is always data with non-daylight saving. The app runs on PC with both
daylight saving and non-daylight saving. So the question is how to check the
PC is daylight saving or not? can anyone know this piece code to handle this
problem?
Thanks in advance,

I was investigating a function to determine whether daylight saving
was being observed on a particular date (given the platform's regional
settings) and came across a suggestion at merlyn.com to test the time
zone offset on a variety of dates to see if it changes. Based on
that, I developed the following checkDST() function which, as far as I
can tell, should be sufficient.
It checks either the date passed to it or the current date with...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
