I am developing an application in which I am trying to fetch Date, Time

  • 0

I am developing an application in which I am trying to fetch Date, Time and Time Zone from single DateTimePicker control. Can anybody help to resolve this?

Edit 1
I am using .NET Framework 2.0. Now I am able to fetch Date and Time with Single DateTimePicker by setting its CustomFormat property as

dtpicker2.CustomFormat = "MM/dd/yyyy,hh:mm:ss"

Now my problem is to fetch TimeZone.

Edit 2
Now here is one more issue, if I set DateTimePicker‘s format property to Time, it shows me something like 2:30:00 PM. I am storing this in a file and reassigning it to the DateTimePicker control.
Can anybody help me out, how to achieve this?

    You won’t be able to do it using a DateTimePicker on it’s own.

    Rather, you are going to have to have sort of composite control which has a DateTimePicker on it, as well as another control which will serve as the offset.

    This control could be a numeric up/down control which you would use for the hour, minute, second, etc, etc offset (or just a textbox for that matter).

    Another option is if you have a location (in the form of latitude and longitude, which you can obtain via Google through HTTP if you have an address), to use the Timezone API function at GeoNames which will allow you to pass a latitude and longitude value and it will return the timezone for that location. That, along with the TZ database and the ZoneInfo project will allow you to determine the offset at that particular date/time (which isn’t the same for all locations and all dates).
