DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString adds one hour to it mysteriously :S

Question

I want to add the current date/time to an XML document So i use something like this

   XmlAttribute receivedDateTime = SettingsFile.CreateAttribute("ReceivedDateTime");
receivedDateTime.Value = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString() + " " + DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString();  

  Debug.WriteLine("Adding Date Time in addMessage method : " + DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString() + " " + DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString());
  Debug.WriteLine("Short Time Only: " + DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString());
  Debug.WriteLine("Long Time Only: " + DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString());
  Debug.WriteLine("Local Time: " + DateTime.Now.ToLocalTime());

But it automatically adds 1 hour to the actual time! So if the actual time is 10.15 AM,

the debug messages print

Adding Date Time in addMessage method : 8/3/10 11:15 AM
Short Time Only: 11:15 AM
Long Time Only: 11:15:51 AM
Local Time: 8/3/10 11:15:51 AM

And I am running this on a mobile emulator and double checked that the emulator time is consistent with my PC's time!

I know this must be a very minor mistake... So if anyone can point it out, it would be much appreciated. Does it have to anything to do with GMT or UTC or any culture?

Answer 1

Is the mobile device set to not use daylight savings time? and is set to the same time but not the same local time offset?
