I'm not sure if this is the right group for this posting. If not,
please accept my apologies.
I have been tasked with identifying and correcting application code
that will be affected by the new daylight saving time change that goes
into effect 2007/03/11. This is a .Net application with thousands of
lines of c#, javascript and html.
As I currently understand it, relevant patches will be supplied and
applied to the affected web servers so the time will be reflected
correctly at the OS level.
Beyond searching for daylight saving time-related methods/functions and
literals like 'daylight' or 'saving' or 'time', etc., I'm at a loss as
to how else to identify potential application problems.
I've googled and have not found much of value in this regard yet. Does
anyone have any thoughts on how best to approach this?
TIA 1 2001

Try Microsoft's site: Preparing for daylight saving time changes in
2007 http://www.microsoft.com/windows/timezone/dst2007.mspx
It has all the details and you can download software from the links on
that site. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

For posterity's sake, here is an algorithm I created to take a GMT
time and convert it to U.S. central time, accounting for daylight
saving time. Note: this algorithm can be modified to work for any
other U.S. timezone by changing the number of second subtracted at the
end.

$in_dst="false";

times and needs the clients timeoffset for showing the correct times
for everything. i use date.getTimezoneOffset() which works fine and
shows the daylight savings time correct value of -4 since im in eastern
standard time and its daylight savings time right now. well eastern

All works fine unless the date and time I'm inserting happens to occur
on the hour the time changes due to daylight savings.
For example in 2004 the hours changed at 2:00 AM on April 4th (the
first Sunday of April). Only on this day, if the start hour is 2 (2:00
AM, 2:15 AM, 2:45 AM), then an extra hour gets added so that 2:00 AM

Hello,
I am writing an application that does some simple astronomical
calculations. One of the variables I need is the number of hours passed in
this year. I've written the following function
public static double GetHoursofYear( DateTime aTime )
{
DateTime StartYear = new DateTime( aTime.Year, 1, 1 );
return ( aTime.ToOADate() - StartYear.ToOADate() ) * 24;

Hi,
Is there any way to make time-of-day adjustments for daylight savings
using only standard time functions? We have a program that executes
daily at a fixed time of day. After daylight savings happens, the
time-of-day alignment is lost. For example, if the daily task gets
kicked in at 9 p.m. every evening, after daylight savings ends in
fall, the task is shown as kicking in at 8 p.m. Similarly, if the
daily task gets kicked in at...

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.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
