datetimeoffset

I have an old table with a few rows that has a datetime column. I want to switch this to datetimeoffset but i want to be able to transfer the data that already exists. So I'm doing something like: SET IDENTITY_INSERT Table_Temp ON INSERT INTO Table_Temp (Col0, ... ColN,) SELECT COl0,.... ColN, from Table_Original; SET IDENTITY_INSERT Table_Temp OFF This works but the offset set is 0 when i do the dattime to datetimeoffset assignment. Fortunately the offset that i want to set it to is the offset of the current system. I'm no tsql guru but i can't seem to figure out an easy way to do this. I

I have a Date field in Java in IST Time. I want to convert the same to EST Time and the output should be as a Date Type only. I am able to accomplish the same using the below piece of code:- SimpleDateFormat dateTimeFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss"); dateTimeFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Asia/Calcutta")); Date date = new Date(); DateFormat timeFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss"); timeFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/New_York")); String estTime = timeFormat.format(date); date = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss", Locale

I convert a string that represents a time in Pacific Time Zone that I am using to create a DateTime object: var pacificDateTime = new DateTime(2016, 11, 16, 15, 0, 0) // 11/16/2016 3:00:00 PM Using that, I create a DateTimeOffset because ultimately it becomes a bit easier to work with. var pacificTimeZoneInfo = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("Pacific Standard Time"); var dateTimeNoKind = new DateTime(pacificDateTime.Ticks, DateTimeKind.Unspecified) var DateTimeOffsetValue = TimeZoneInfo.ConverTimeToUtc(dateTimeNoKind, pacificTimeZoneInfo) // 11/16/2016 11:00:00 PM So far so good. The

This question already has an answer here: When Would You Prefer DateTime Over DateTimeOffset 3 answers What is difference between a DateTime and a DateTimeOffset object? And when should we use each one? In a web-application that may change the server's area, storing date and time. Which one is better, or is there any other suggestions? DateTimeOffset Represents a point in time, typically expressed as a date and time of day, relative to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) it provides a greater degree of time zone awareness than the DateTime structure. See it here- http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us

I have this code that does a calculation to find the a localized UTC time. Based on that UTC time there's another function that will calculate a next event date and time for me. If the time is between Sunday @ 12 and Wednesday @ 8 it will give me wednesdays event date, otherwise it will give me the next event date on Sunday. I then take that calculated date, split it apart and feed it in as parameter to a countdown timer. I'm wondering if there's a more optimize way to do this, particularly with the conditional statement and where I split apart the time into parameters. $(function () { //

I need to convert UTC date strings to DateTimeOffsets . This must work with a timezone which differs from the computers timezone. E.g. current computer timezone is +02:00, but I want to create a DateTimeOffset with offset -4:00. I already read lot of questions here on stackoverflow, but none of them solved my problem. That is what I need to do: Input: "2012-11-20T00:00:00Z" Output: DateTimeOffset with: UtcDateTime of 2012-11-20 00:00 the correct Utc offset for the defined timezone (01:00 in this example) LocalDateTime: 2012-11-20 01:00 (= UtcDateTime + Offset) Of course daylight saving must be

I designed my application considering the fact that, according to the specifications, should run on a server located in Italy and clients will be italian people only. About a month ago, my bos decided to bring it all on Azure. Everything went smoothly. The only thing that give me some problem is the fact that the time server is UTC. The solutions are: A) simple modify a startup script to the server time ( http://netindonesia.net/blogs/wely/archive/2011/06/26/setting-timezone-in-windows-azure.aspx ) B) more laborious Change to make any application to use UTC and show the time properly converted
