How to do timezone time conversion with daylight savings?
Hi all,
I have a script component in my package that creates an EST datetime, which I need converted to GMT. The script doesn't appear to recognize System.TimeZoneInfo. Does SSIS run an old version of .net framework?
In any case, what's a decent way to convert my script's EST datetime into GMT, taking into account daylight savings?
thanks,
sff

DateTime.ToUniversalTime Method needs to be used

Thanks for the reply.
Ok - now the time data I'm getting is Eastern time. The server that actually HAS the data is Pacific time. Is there a way to tell the program that the specific datetime piece is going from EASTERN -> UTC, and not pacific -> UTC?
Thanks,

Hi sff,
I guess you must use the FindSystemTimeZoneById method.
The link I gave you happens indeed to have a sample piece of code for it.
