Hello,
I'm working on an app that requires the functionality to convert the
time in Austrailia to the time in New York (EST). I am wondering, what
is the bestway to approach this in vb.net? Is there anything in VB.net
that can make this conversion? If not, is it possible to hit a time
server of some sort to get the conversion? I know there are time
conversion websites all over the place Im just wondering if any of them
allow an application to query it for time. I also need to account for
DST in both locations. I know, sounds tricky hehe :) Any help is
greatly appreciated.

Paulers,
AFAIK is there nothing as you ask, however in my opinion is this simple as
long as the countries are using a full timezone.
Just create a hashtable with values accoording to UCT (GMT or Zulu) an
calculate it. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...hourstopic.asp
Or your problem should be to find in what timezone is a village.
By just using "timezones" as search argument you find a bunch on Google by
instance this one http://www.worldtimezone.com/
I hope this helps,
Cor
Thanks for the response Cor,
What values am I adding to the hastable and does this method account
for DST. Any way you can show me an example of what you mean? I
appreciate all your help.
Paulers,
I have no sample.
However, you set every timezone in the hashtable with its value accoording
to UTC, So CET has value -1.
Then it should be easy to calculate the time between GMT and CET because
that is -1, where is the - from the view that you are looking at it. (It is
1 hour earlier 12 O'Clock in Amsterdam than in London or it is in London 1
hour later 12 O'Clock than in Amsterdam)..
Etc.
I hope this helps,
Cor
Hi Cor,
ok I found a ToUniversalTime method that will convert New Zealand
datetime to UTC time. Once I have the time converted to UTC I need to
take away 5 hours (-5) to arrive at EST correct?. Is there an easy way
to calculate this in vb.net that will take care of the spanning
midnight and other things that need to be accounted for when performing
datetime calculations?I guess I am looking for a method that I can pass
it +5 or -5 (in some form or other) and have it return a processed
datetime object. does that exist?
thanks! :)
Paulers,
I gave you that in my idea in the link in my previous message.

In other words, if I set my cookie with:

I'm a novice in this subject....I've made a database that requires a
time conversion. For example, if local time is 1200, determine the
time in Korea. I use two fields: a date field, and a time field. I
need the converted time to show up in a report. I also need the
corresponding date to increment if necessary. Any ideas on how to do
this would be greatly appreciated.

Although it is not present in ANSI C, the GNU version of stftime
supports the conversion character %z, which is a time offset from GMT.
The four digit time offset is required in RFC 2822 dates/times, and is
used by a number of other programs as well. I need to convert times
that use this convention to python time representations, and because
Python does not support the %z time conversion character I cannot
simply use the time.strptime...

I need to convert timestamps that are given as the number of seconds
that have elapsed since midnight UTC of January 1, 1970, (not counting
leap seconds).
It seems all of the std C functions expect positive offsets from this
date and are incapable of working on dates preceeding the epoch (i.e.
negative offsets) - which IMHO shows a remarkable lack of foresight -
and is *just* a little bit annoying.
Does anyone know of an algo I can...
