Daylight Saving Time

In order to create and consume data to/from an interface we have to deliver/consume date and time and timezone.

Format of the timezone is: "+nn:nn" which means hours and minutes relative from UTC.
As far is I understand our timezone CET is normally UTC+1, but it is UTC+2 in daylight saving time period.

Is there an easy why to find out whether the local datetime is daylight saving or not. I know that FORMAT(currentdatetime,0,9) returns the time part in UTC, but this seems to end in a tedious string comparing, etc.

Any better ideas?

Thanks in advance.
Thomas

    You can read the data from registry through 'Windows Script Host Object Model'.WshShell automation.

    For registry description see http://www.windowsitpro.com/article/art ... ation.html

    Thanks Kamil!
    Cool stuff, do you know is there another way to read the registry? Because my personal experience with wsh is not so good, because some administrators want to disable it on production servers.

    They want to disable registry reading or Windows Script Host?
