Check Daylight Saving Time

[Guest]

Is there a way to check if the system is currently in Daylight Saving Time?
I'm trying to convert a DateTime from GMT to CST or CDT, but I'd like to be
able to figure out which at runtime. Thanks.

Read up on the DateTime.ToUniversalTime Method, that should
help.

Warran,
As Jan suggests there Datetime has ToUniversalTime & ToLocalTime to convert
to & form GMT & local time (CST or CDT).

TimeZone has a IsDaylightSavingTime method that indicates if its Daylight
Saving Time. Which currently is only really useful for the Current TimeZone
(which the DateTime already does...).

Hope this helps
Jay
