Time Zone Conversion

[JJ]

Hi,
Is there an asp component anywhere which will convert a GMT time in the past
to a different time zone e.g. EST?
You can't just take the hours off as there is often daylight saving hours to
take into consideration.

Thanks
JJ

No, but you can use a calendar table, because you can populate all the
timezone offsets in advance.

Hi Aaron,
Thanks for the reply, however that looks like a bit too much work to me.
The application i'm writing stores date/time in GMT.
The application might be used in any global timezone which may or may not
have DST.
I was hoping that someone might have written a component to do this.
I will keep looking.

Thanks
JJ

Hi,
In case anyone else is looking into time zones, I have found a com component
at http://www.worldtimeserver.com/?login
It is a subscription service.

Many Thanks
