Daylight Savings Time Issue

[luke_airig]

I'm not sure if this is the right group for this posting. If not,
please accept my apologies.

I have been tasked with identifying and correcting application code
that will be affected by the new daylight saving time change that goes
into effect 2007/03/11. This is a .Net application with thousands of
lines of c#, javascript and html.

As I currently understand it, relevant patches will be supplied and
applied to the affected web servers so the time will be reflected
correctly at the OS level.

Beyond searching for daylight saving time-related methods/functions and
literals like 'daylight' or 'saving' or 'time', etc., I'm at a loss as
to how else to identify potential application problems.

I've googled and have not found much of value in this regard yet. Does
anyone have any thoughts on how best to approach this?

TIA
