Setting Date and Time for daylight savings

[Manish Bafna]

I am trying to programmatically set the Device Timezone,Date and time using
OpenNETCF Smart Device Framework 2.0 for daylight savings.I was able to
successfully set timezone but not able to set date and time in that zone.
I search high and low on internet but all i could find was code for
OpenNETCF V1.4.That is something like below:
OpenNETCF.Win32.DateTimeEx.SetLocalTime(aDateTime);
OpenNETCF.Win32.DateTimeEx.SetSystemTime(aDateTime.ToUniversalTime());

But what is equivalent of the setlocaltime and setsystemtime in smart device
framework 2.0.I was neither able to get anything
in intellisense in datetimehelper class also.
Any ideas/insights would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for replying(as always)

OpenNETCF.WindowsCE namespace
DateTimeHelper class
LocalTime and SystemTime properties.

Try System.Diagnostics.process.Start("ctlpnl.exe", "\Windows\cplmain.cpl,13")

I have used this to launch the standard windows date/time dialog including setting daylight savings.

If you have difficulty, make a date/time shortcut on the device and inspect its contents using wordpad or internet explorer.

A similar syntax can be used to launch a url ;-)
