Hi,
I want to know whether any arbitrary place uses daylight saving time or not.
Suppose I do not know anything about the place other than its date and local time (which means I cannot able to pass the dates when daylight saving period begins and ends)


Is there any possibility to do that?
Thanks for your time...

There is no guaranteed way to be able to determine the time zone/DST given an arbitrary date and time (local or otherwise). Suppose you say that it is April 1, 2006 at 3:30 PM. If it is 3:30 PM in EST then it'll be 3:30 PM in PST in 4 hours. All time zones will eventually have the same dates and local times. DST is irrelevant at this point because during DST a day can actually have the same time occur two different times in the same day (fall for those of us in the US). You'll need more information before you will be able to determine the DST. Given the time zone you can determine DST for any date. I encourage you to check out http://www.michaelbrumm.com/simpletimezone.htmlfor working with time zones once you store enough information because the existing .NET classes only work with the current time zone.
