Yes, I'm afraid its true, the time zone offset is just a straight hours offset from GMT, it does not auto adjust according to Daylight Savings so it would ahve to be adjusted manually as needed.

Daylight Savings time is a very complicated thing, its different in various time zones and, even more complicated, some regions a person may be in one time zone part of the year and another time zone other parts of the year. In .NET 1.1 and 2.0 there was not much built in to help with this, but maybe there are some new things in .NET 3.5. When I get a chance I will investigate whether there is anything new that may help us support automatic adjustment for Daylight savings time.

Best,

This new TimeZoneInfo class in 3.5 .NET should prove helpful I think. Only drawbacks is using it will give us more dependency on 3.5 .NET, whereas up till now it has still been relatively easy to produce a 2.0 .NET build of mojoPortal, this will make it more difficult, but time and technology marches on.

The other thing I need to test is if this class is implemented in Mono yet before making a dependency. For the moment I'm implementing some proof of concept code that I can comment out if I need to wait for Mono.

Cheers,

Joe
