Clients local time

[blar9]

I have a site and I need to pass in the clients date and time I am using the Now() function but when I display it on the screen it is giving me the servers time. Is there a way I can get the users local time????

Thanks!

I think you need to get that from the client side. Maybe using javascript to put the time into a hidden input, that can pass it to the server?

What do you need to get the local time for, that will probably have an effect on what you need to do.

Hope this helps,

DateTime.UtcNow.ToString will give you the UTC date and time, if this helps

I tried solving this problem but cant get it right through the server. I even wrote a time region convertor but it was too buggy. Thus I use javascript with a hidden textbox.
Works great.
The way it work is, java gets time/date from user computer. Puts it into the hidden textbox.
Since the hidden textbox is a server control, now asp.net can grab it and put it into a string variable or something.
