SetTimeZoneInformation - Problem

[Guest]

Hello,

I am using SetTimeZoneInformation to set the TimeZone in the Pocket PC, but
after setting to new timezone using the code, when I tried to get the
timezone, it is giving the old timezone (means, sest timezoneinformation
didn't update the .Net clock) what should I do to update the .Net CF clock
(get the new timezone informatio)n after setting the TimeZone.

thanks!!

Yes, I seem to remember that the time information is only loaded by the
run-time for .NET CF when the application starts, so you didn't get the
offset, say, from GMT updated just because you made the change to the OS
settings. That was back in 1.0, but it's certainly quite possible that it's
still around that way today.

I think that you might want to look at this thread from the archives:
