Specifying the default timezone

[Nathan Sokalski]

I have an application in which I want to use a certain timezone. I do not
want to need to specify the timezone every time I use a date-related method
or function, so is there some way I can specify a default timezone in either
the Web.config or somewhere else? Thanks.

Nathan, I think you can't do it on the global level.

You set it in Windows, by setting the timezone there. Then everything works
on that timezone.

A better way to handle this is to set all of your time fields to UTC. Then,
if the location of the server changes, you do not have to recalculate
times. You would still set the timezone on the server for display, however.
