Hi I am trying to figure out a way to convert a FILETIME structure from UTC to Local and vice versa. I've been using the two functions: FileTimetoLocalFileTime() and LocalFileTimeToFileTime(). The problem seems that they do not work as expected. As an example: First I got a local file time using: WIN32_FIND_DATA fd; FindFirstFile(_T...

I am wanting to use the g:timeZoneSelect tag within my application, problem is im finding the resulting html select to be quite overwhelming.

That is, I want the user to be able to enter in EDT/EST centric dates, and have it query with the UTC correct dates. $start_date and $end_date are MM/DD/YYYY formatted dates passed via a GET varia...

From what I have researched it is not possible to change the Timezone of a thread. So my question is why can't you? I would have thought switching your application's culture to a specific country would also switch this, seems like expected behaviour IMO. Edit After revising I can see the reason why it probably shouldn't be mapped 1:1 ...

I seem to have a hard time getting my head around this. What's the difference between calendar.timegm() and time.mktime()? Say I have a datetime.datetime with no tzinfo attached, shouldn't the two give the same output? Don't they both give the number of seconds between epoch and the date passed as a parameter? And since the date passed...

The problem is th...
