Answer 1

Here's what I had to do.

I receive the datetime from javascript and then pass it on to ASP.NET to store in Oracle database. Here is my C# code for Eastern and Central times.

string datetimevalue = hidfileDateTime.Value; 

datetimevalue= datetimevalue.Replace("EDT", "EST"); 
datetimevalue = datetimevalue.Replace("CDT", "CST");
if (datetimevalue.Contains("CST"))
{
    filedt = DateTime.ParseExact(datetimevalue, "ffffd MMM d HH:mm:ss CST yyyy", provider).ToUniversalTime().AddHours(1).ToLocalTime();
}
else
{
    filedt = DateTime.ParseExact(datetimevalue, "ffffd MMM d HH:mm:ss EST yyyy", provider);
}
