Hi guys,

I have created one web and windows based application and these both applications are in multilingual langauges(English, Arabic, Hindi, Philiphinne).

This application is created for ExamCenters.

In which they will create Exam Session. When Exam Sessions are created, the date & time is stored in DB is Sarver Date&Time.

Now, the client will login from INDIA, SAUDI ARABIA, UAE, PHILIPHINE, PAKISTAN

I have to set and match the server time with the client local time.

What I have tried:

I have tried using DateTime.UtcNOW;

But its also giving server time only.

Can any one please help me.

Thanks

Always use UTC when storing and comparing dates and times.

Only when displaying them, they may be converted to local time.

If the clients are displaying (e.g. using JavaScript), convert the UTC time passed from the server to local time.

If the server is displaying, it needs information about the time zone for each client. This is usually stored in a database together with the other client data.

Anything you do on the server side (in the c# code) will take the server time.

Please perform a quick search either in the forums or in google before posting here:
