Time Zones creating date descrepancy

lou
When sending a date value to a web service, does .NET know what time zone
that date is sent from?

The reason I ask is because I have client software that sends data to our
web service and when a date is received, it's different than what had been
entered in the client software.

The client is in a different time zone than the server that the web service
is located on and that's what the dates are different by - the time zone.

Is there a way to correct this? Or stop it from converting the date to the
time zone of the server?

Thanks,

After doing some more research, I found a posting that said dates include a
"time zone offset". This must be part of globalization?

Can anyone verify this or point me to some articles on it. I'd like to get
some more info so I can decide how I can deal with it.

Thanks,
