Question

I am currently building a web app that is for Australian based users but the server is not in Australia so the time-zone is incorrect. Is there type of entry I can add to the web.config file to offset the time on the server by GMT+10:00 ?

EDIT:

More to the point is there any way of setting this application-wide, it doesn’t necessarily have to be in the web.config

Answer 1

I guess what you need to do is to store your DateTime values as UTC instead of GMT.

There is a lot of related questions on SO:

• Daylight saving time and time zone best practices
• Converting DateTime + TimeZone to UTC
• Storing date/times as UTC in database
