Mark,
Unfortunately System.DateTime (VB's Date) only knows how to convert a
Universal Time to Local Time & convert Local Time to UniversalTime.
I would recommend that each of your machines convert local time to universal
time, then send that time to the server. The server can then convert the
universal time to local time which will be CST.
You can use
- DateTime.Now - to get current local date & time
- DateTime.UtcNow - to get current date & time in universal time (UTC)
- DateTime.ToUniversalTime - to convert local time to universal time
- DateTime.ToLocalTime - to convert universal time to local time
Hope this helps
Jay
