DateTime not taking Daylight Savings into consideration

[chaosblade]

Hi, I've come across a small issue related to the DateTime class. It
seems to not take daylight savings here (Israel, GMT+2\+3 with DST)
into consideration, No matter the form used.

I've tried the default formats used by ToString, ToShortTimeString and
ToLongTimeString. All of them currently consider me to be in the GMT+3
timezone, Which is when DST is supposed to be turned on. Checking
IsDayLightSavingsTime() returns True currently, also incorrect.

I've also tried the provided MSDN example code for
DateTime.ToString(string), Which shows the same incorrect time.

Windows (Vista) itself correctly shows my time as GMT+2.

Is this a known issue? Is there a work-around it?

Any help appreciated.

Check your CurrentCulture to see if your program is working in the right
culture. You might have to set it to your specific region.
