Re: Time zone of Exchange server-- how to retrieve via WebDav?
Hello,
the server timezone is irrelevant to the meeting. Most of the time
information of a contact is stored as UTC. Therefore you can use the .NET
DateTime.ToLocalTime.
This usually makes the most sense on a client computer.
But don't forget to call DateTime.ToUniversalTime before you save something
to the store.
Kind regards,
Henning Krause
