I have an asp.net webservice with a parameter of type datetime. I have noticed asp.net seems to offset the date based on the clients timezone.
I need to disable this functionality. I simply want to pass a date (i.e. 3/15/2009) to the webservice from javascript without any timezone context.
Is my only option to change the parameter type to string then convert it server side, or is there some way to disable the deserializer from offsetting my date param ?
I’d use a string.
It kind of makes sense – a DateTime is really a ‘point in time’, so when two clients are talking about the same DateTime, they’re talking about the same INSTANT. So saying ‘the meteor will hit earth in 5 minutes’, should adjust itself to the timezone.
