Hey,
There is a issue for date. I am using DateTime.Now(). At local it gives me exact date and time for my pc but after upload it provides me our server date which have a difference of 5 hours 50 minutes before our time. I just need a code which can take current system time. Like if a user is doing entries at some other place, only his system time come not the SERVER time.

Regards and Thanks,
Rajat Bhalla

as you said 'server date have a difference of 5 hours 50 minutes before our time' you can write a function that uses DateTime.Now() and adds 5:50 to it and returns new value. and if You are professional you can write a class like this

public static class Tu6tY
{
public static DateTime myNow(this DateTime dt)
{
return (dt.Now() - DateTime.Parse("5:50:0"));
}
}

and now you can use this code in your program:

DateTime.myNow();

Well, this code will work for my country only but what about other countries?? I need a enter particular user's system date.:)

change the code of myNow function to convert your server time to GMT because time in every country is different to other, and GMT is standard time all over the world

I have achieved date issue with javascript date. It picks every user's browser date.

Thanks a lot

you can get GMT time using ajax technology from a server. I can tell you how to perform this later, tomorrow i'll send it. I'm going ...

check out this post. There is a nice javaScript solution that is very easy to implement and understand.

you can send a request to my page located in http://[email protected]/services/getTime.aspx using this javascript code:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function createXHR()
{
   try { return new XMLHttpRequest(); } catch(e) {}
   try { return new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP.6.0"); } catch (e) {}
   try { return new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP.3.0"); } catch (e) {}
   try { return new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP"); } catch (e) {}
   try { return new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } catch (e) {}
   
   alert("XMLHttpRequest not supported");   
   return null;
}

function sendRequest_getTime()
{
	var xhr = createXHR();
	if(xhr)
	{
		var url = "http://aspnet35.brinkster.net/services/getTime.aspx";
		xhr.open("GET", url, true);
		xhr.onreadystatechange = function(){handleResponse_getTime(xhr);};
		xhr.send(null);
	}
}
function handleResponse_getTime(xhr)
{
  	if (xhr.readyState == 4  && xhr.status == 200)
    {
     var parsedResponse = xhr.responseText;
     var responseOutput = document.getElementById("div_time");
     responseOutput.innerHTML = parsedResponse;
    }
}
}
</script>

to work with above javascript codes add a div tag in your page named div_time and you can use following code to get time:

Code:

<div id="div_time"></div>
<input type="button" onclick="sendRequest_getTime();" />
