Datetime Display With Timezone Abbreviation

Asked by hedgedevelopers in WebApplications, Programming for ASP.NET, Microsoft Visual C#.Net

Tags:

I currently work on a web application and have assigned each user a time zone. I am debating how the datetime should be displayed to the user.  One issue I found in C# was that there is no way to access the abbreviation of the time zone.  The requirements of the project I am working on describes to list a date like 6/3/2008 5:35PM (EST).  I have noticed on many sites the way they present dates in a time zone is 6/3/2008 5:35PM (GMT - 4:00).   I was wondering if there is a standard display format for displaying a datetime that has been converted to the user's time zone?  Start Free Trial
