GMT TimeHi
Is it possible with an VB.Net application to get the GMT time and this time must be so that it doesn't use summer or winter time? Is this possible? How? Thanks Joris Joris,
In endless methods, Greenwich Mean Time (or maintime ) as I saw used by an Englishman in this newsgroup and as we use it in the Benelux is more often used as Universal Coordinated Time or which another word is Zulu (from the Z from Zero) time. Therefore if you are searching for it use than UCT or Zulu time. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemdatetimeclasstouniversaltimetopic.asp I hope this helps, Cor Show quoteHide quote "Joris De Groote" <joris.degro***@skynet.be> schreef in bericht news:uOxMZlviGHA.3780@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... > Hi > > Is it possible with an VB.Net application to get the GMT time and this > time must be so that it doesn't use summer or winter time? > Is this possible?

I found exactly what I wanted there :). Just one more question: I have changed the date with the command ToUniversalTime and have checked the difference and that is all really good :). But what about summer and winter time? Is the UniversalTime immune to this? The difference is now 2 hours, and it is doing that correct, but if the times change, will the difference still be 2 hours or will this change? Thanks!

Coordinated Universal Time is actually UTC, not UCT or even CUT :) The Framework uses "UTC". -- Larry Lard Replies to group please Larry,
Thanks, I knew it, I have forever to check that and did it not this time.
