asp.net time zone settings
I want to let the end user choose their time zone and store this in to a database or web.config and use this setting throughout the application for setting the creation time to their time in stead of the servers time the application is running on.

My suggestion is to save the setting into database for 2 purposes (at least):
1. secure the confidential data
2. easier for maintenance and customization

If your application will be used by multiple people across multiple time zones, and those people can view data from all users, this is not a wise idea, as it will skew the times seen by these other people. It is better to store your dates using the server time and use ASP.Net to localize the dates for the person viewing the information.
