ASP.NET 2.0 - DateTime.Now How do I adjust to London time when host server is in California?
Posted on 2006-11-12
Hello,
I have the following code in my website:
<script runat="server">
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
dateLabel.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("ddd
End Sub
</script>
Having recently transferred hosts to Lunarpages who are based in California (who are GMT/UTC - 08:00 hours), the date now displayed on my website is incorrect.
How do I adjust my code so the day changes at midnight UK time?
Many thanks
Karen

adjustment = 0;
if (Running on Lunarpages) //Do a check to see if its http://yourwebsite.com or if its http://localhost for when your working @ home)
{
adjustment = X;
}
DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
now.AddHours(adjustment);
You'll need to find out the time currently and what the time of the server is, and then do the math and replace the X with the number.

Try this one...
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim culture As System.Globalization.Cultu
dateLabel.Text = DateTime.Parse(DateTime.No
End Sub

Or You can add hours or subtract hours of the difference between US time and UK time to ur textbox,
dim uktime as datetime
uktime = DateTime.Now
dim differenceHours as integer
'differenceHours = urdifference
uktime= uktime.AddHours(difference
dateLabel.Text = Convert.ToDateTime(uktime)
