I am trying to get the local time on the server based on a DateTime from the database like:

TimeZone := TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone;

LocalTime := TimeZone.ToLocalTime(in_DT);

Name DataType Subtype Length
TimeZone DotNet 'mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'.System.TimeZone

in_DT is the DateTime I want to convert, and LocalTime is the resulting DateTime.

The returned LocalTime is exactly the same as in_DT...

Somebody have an idea what is wrong?

    As it turns out, from further testing, the CurrentTimeZone is setting the TimeZone to what appears to be the wrong time zone (actually W. Europe Standard Time - which I guess is UTC + 0).

    When I log into the server in question, I am seeing the right time - so I guess it may be a question of the root policy in the domain... Or?

    On a related note; for some reason the version of the mscorlib states 2.0.0.0? And sure enough there is 3.5 functionality missing (like TimeZoneInfo). Is there some way to use a higher version of mscorlib?

    I guess nobody has replied. This is no longer an issue, since I just found the R2 feature WebServicesDefaultTimeZone, which does exacly what I wanted :roll:

    I still would like to know why I can only select the 2.0.0.0 version of mscorlib though... If anybody happens to know?
