Changing TimeZone for application

 

Is there a way to change the TimeZone for an application   I have a Remoting application and we'd like everyone to view the times in EST.  I was hoping there was a way to change the setting in the AppDomain or something.

BTW, I'm still in version 1.1 and I'm dealing with a WinForm client.

Thanks for any help,

    I don't think you can since the time zone is dependent on the machine's configuration.

    Don't forget, when you change timezone, there is a chance that you have to change day light saving (soon, the US will not have the same day light saving than Canada). All of this is a big pain, if you find a solution tell me. What I did is convert everything I receive in GMT (DateTime support GMT) and when I print it I convert it back to the wanted timezone (I have multiple source from different timezone and one output in a user selected timezone).

    I was thinking my requirement was simple, that all users see times in Eastern Standard Time.  I was hoping I could set something in an Application setting for the running instance.

    I guess not, thanks for the comments.
