GMT Time

[Joris De Groote]

Hi

Is it possible with an VB.Net application to get the GMT time and this time
must be so that it doesn't use summer or winter time?
Is this possible? How?

Thanks
Joris

Joris,

In endless methods,

Greenwich Mean Time (or maintime ) as I saw used by an Englishman in this
newsgroup and as we use it in the Benelux is more often used as Universal
Coordinated Time or which another word is Zulu (from the Z from Zero) time.

Therefore if you are searching for it use than UCT or Zulu time.

I hope this helps,

Cor

Thanks to the French, the abbreviation for what is correctly called
Coordinated Universal Time is actually UTC, not UCT or even CUT :)

The Framework uses "UTC".

Re: GMT Time

Hi, thanks
I found exactly what I wanted there :).
Just one more question:
I have changed the date with the command ToUniversalTime and have checked
the difference and that is all really good :). But what about summer and
winter time? Is the UniversalTime immune to this? The difference is now 2
hours, and it is doing that correct, but if the times change, will the
difference still be 2 hours or will this change?

Thanks!
