Hello! I'm planning a distributed system of applications that will communicate with different types of RDBMS. One of the requirements is consistent handling of DateTimes across all RDBMS types. All DateTime values must be at millisecond precision, include the TimeZone info and be stored in a single column. Since different RDBMS's handl...
For some reason I need to cast/convert a DateTime into one of many custom objects This proves to be very difficult to do in a nice generic fashion.

Does anybody know of a Windows tool to report fake dates/times to a process?

Regardless of what the user's local time zone is set to, using C# (.NET 2.0) I need to determine the time (DateTime object) in the Eastern time zone. I know about these methods but there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to get a DateTime object for a different time zone than what the user is in. DateTime.Now DateTime.UtcNow TimeZon...

I'm trying to parse a date/time string using DateTime.ParseExact. It works everywhere, except on one machine - it just will not parse on that machine. The question is: Why? What could be different on that machine so that it will cause this behaviour? Here are some things that I've already looked at: The CultureInfo is passed to DateTi...

How would you parse the following ambiguous date and for what reason (statistical, cultural, etc)? '1111900' as Jan 11, 1900 [M/dd/YYYY] or Nov 1,...

I have a legacy C++-based application that timestamps incoming network traffic using the CRT _ftime() function. The _ftime() function returns a _timeb structure, which has a 32-bit and a 64-bit implementation. We are using the 32-bit implementation, which looks like this: struct _timeb { long time; // 4 bytes unsi...

Hi, I find it funny that Java (or the java.util library) does not have a built-in function to calculate difference in dates. What is the best way to do this? I know the simple way is to take the difference of the time in milliseconds and then convert that into days. However, i wanted to know if this works in all cases (with daylight sav...
