When I use DateTime.Now I get the date and time from the server point of view. Is there any way to get the client date and time in ASP.NET?
What I’d do is create a hidden input field and then wire a Javascript routine to the onsubmit event for the form. This routine would populate the hidden field with the time on the client machine.
The hidden field can used with ASP.NET by using the HTML control ‘HtmlInputHidden’ class. You just give you input control a runat=’server’ attribute like any other server side control.
The server can then read out this time when the form posts back. You could even wrap this up in a server control if you need to do this in a number of places.
Alternatively, you could do this with AJAX but the implementation will depend on which library you use.
