Set TimeZone

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

After I use the code in the OpenNETCF Smart Device Framework to set the timezone, the TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.GetDaylightChanges() no longer returns correct dates, even after restarting the application.

code looks pretty much like this:

TimeZoneCollection tzColl = new TimeZoneCollection();
tzColl.Initialize(TimeZoneCollection.ALL_TIMEZONES_LIST);
for (int i = 0; i < tzColl.Count; i++)
{
TimeZoneInformation tzi = (TimeZoneInformation)tzColl[i];
if (tzi.StandardName == "W. Europe Standard Time")
{
DateTimeEx.SetTimeZoneInformation(tzi);
}
}

But obviously this is not enough. Any ideas on how to get the DaylightChanges back to working?
