    time formatting error

    Hi

    I am trying to display a unix timestamp as a time of day. I can do this
    but I lose 10 hours. Is this something do with locale or is there an
    error in my code?? The timestamp is for 11.20 am, but the message box
    displays 1.20am !!

    Dim timestamp As Integer = 1159492831

    Dim dt As Date = New System.DateTime (1970, 1, 1).AddSeconds(t imestamp)

    MessageBox.Show (Format(dt, "hh:mm tt"))


    any help appreciated
    Dave

      Hi,

      I am not an expert but I know sometime it could happen if your server is
      hosted remotely.

      Is it your case? If so, you may need adding extra 10 hours to values.
      Don't ask me how, I am an idiot in programming :)

      Hope this helps.

          There is no remote server involved, the timestamp is generated on the
          local machine.

          cheers Dave
