Retrieving Day Light Saving Time Period Using Windows libraries

18 New Member
Hi All,

I am facing quite a unique problem here with DayLight saving time.
I know Windows handles Daylight saving time internally to sync PC Clock .

But now i need to pass the Information of Daylight Saving period i.e, From When To When it is applied .
For e.g. In US it is From 2nd Sunday in March to 1st Sunday in November.

I need to get this period for all timeZones in my .Net application using Windows API.

Can anyone help me to retrieve this time period from Windows.....

Any help will be appreciated
Thanks and regards,
Eric

Its all in some big table in the registry. I cannot remember where, but if you find the right keys, you can just read it in.
TZEdit is a program from microsoft to set timezone information, it might say which keys to use somewhere in there

Hi, Im wondering if anyone can help me with a problem. I have a form with more than 50 unbound fields. Some of the fields will be blank from time to time. This seems to be where im having trouble. I have tried keeping some of the fields bound and when I use the save button it has been saving as 2 different records. This is unacceptable. This is what I have, can anyone help me out with this?

I want to write a cookie that will hold purchase information. The name of this cookie will be a julian date/time. How do I go about retrieving all the cookies within a certain time period? Example: cookie names, 7236, 7210, 7111. Is there a way to retrieve these 3 cookies when others exist that have characters for names? I need to display the contents of each of these cookies to show purchase history over the last 2 months.

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...

I currently have two drop down menus where the second one is populated from the first one. My second drop down menu should be able to do multiple selection.

On the other hand, it "POST"-ed the null value which is 1. My...
