He did say that he'd moved the server date to May.

I suspect it moved it back! 
Try this:
DateTime then = new DateTime(2017, 6, 14, 8, 31, 45);
DateTime utcTime = then.ToUniversalTime();
TimeZoneInfo csttzi = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("Central Standard Time");
DateTime cstTime = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime(utcTime, csttzi);
string text = String.Format("IsDaylightSavingTime: {0}", cstTime.IsDaylightSavingTime().ToString());
string officeTime = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime(utcTime, csttzi).ToString();
text is "IsDaylightSavingTime: True"
And officeTime is "14/06/2017 02:31:45"
Which is about right given I'm on GMT.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

It never did! I was looking at the server's clock the whole time, gov'na. Honest!

Odd. Very odd. Your code gives me this:

As Gerry pointed out below, the DateTime.IsDaylightSavingTime method[^] relies on the local time zone. It has no knowledge of the TimeZoneInfo you used to change the offset.
If your server is set to UTC with no DST changes, then this method will never return true.
Use the TimeZoneInfo.IsDaylightSavingTime method[^] instead, and the result will depend on the chosen TimeZoneInfo.

I think your DST test plays off static TimeZoneInfo.Local; which always points to the host computer's time zone.
You can determine a "delta" hour for your "AddHours" though:

You're probably right. It was showing Kind = Unspecified, so it wasn't obvious that this was the case.

How about:
Label1.Text = string.Format("IsDaylightSavingTime: {0}", csttzi.IsDaylightSavingTime(cstTime));
That will use the specified time zone, rather than the local system time zone.
You might also want to look at using DateTimeOffset[^], which is slightly better for time zone handling than a raw DateTime.
Or, if you want to be really safe, use Noda Time[^].

There it is! That's what I was missing. I was thinking cstTime would carry that information, but I guess it doesn't.
Thank you!

Debug your code and find out why date is null. I can't help you any more than that. If this was C# like this forum is for, I might have been able to help more but this is not C# code.

Please, put those in an array and fetch it by index.
Since the method is static, and assuming it does work like C#, I'd reckon that the 'date' variable is null. Which could happen if you were to swallow a parse-exception, for instance.

Ignoring for a moment that this is the C# forum, not the Android one.
if (spinner2.getSelectedItemPosition() == 0)
value = 1;
if (spinner2.getSelectedItemPosition() == 1)
value = 2;
Can you see any logic in all these if statements? Particularly that they could be replaced by the simple
value = spinner2.getSelectedItemPosition() + 1;
As to your actual problem, it is quite simple. You create a new Date variable inside your try block, but then try to use the one declared at class level to extract the various fields.

When loading items for PopupMenu if more items when PopupMenu load height not desirable, you want a fixed height instead PopupMenu anterior to PopupMenu then how ?
|
|
|
|
|
With no clue as to the UI you are using or the control suite help can only be generic.
Assuming your control does not have the attributes to define the size!
If your control supports sub menu items the reorganise you pop up menu.
If that is not possible you may need to change the control to a pop up window with a list control on command buttons.

I've read that transport security needs to be used in conjunction with SSL for improved security. I also read that SSL uses public key, private key, and a certificate to verify a website's identity.
What is not clear is whether SSL can encrypt WCF messages or not. If SSL can not encrypt WCF messages, then how do I encrypt the messages I'm trying to send?
|
|
|
|
|
SSL (or, more recently, TLS) encrypts all traffic between the client and server. WCF messages sent to an HTTPS endpoint will be encrypted.

Hello,
Before coming to the problem statement, let me brief on the task I am working on.
I want to:
1. Add slide to a presentation
2. Insert video from external file to the slide, and then
3. Set PLAYBACK options of a video like Play Full Screen & Start Automatically.
So that, during the slide show, the video will be played fully before continuing to the next slide.
I could do tasks in point 1 & 2, but am stuck in point 3. I have referred MSDN documentation but too less information to accomplish my need.
Sharing snippet of code with appropriate comments:
using PowerPoint = Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint;
.
.
.
PowerPoint.Application pptApp;
PowerPoint.Presentations oPresentations;
PowerPoint.Presentation oPresentation;
string sPath = @"C:\sample.avi";
pptApp = new PowerPoint.Application();
pptApp.Visible = MCore.MsoTriState.msoTrue;
oPresentations = pptApp.Presentations;
oPresentation = oPresentations.Add(MCore.MsoTriState.msoTrue);
PowerPoint.Slide slide = oPresentation.Slides.AddSlide(oPresentation.Slides.Count, oPresentation.Slides[oPresentation.Slides.Count].CustomLayout);
PowerPoint.Shape video = slide.Shapes.AddMediaObject2(sPath, MCore.MsoTriState.msoFalse, MCore.MsoTriState.msoTrue, 0f, 0f, -1f, -1f);
video.AnimationSettings.PlaySettings.PlayOnEntry = MCore.MsoTriState.msoTrue;
Kindly help me with this. Let me know if you need more information.
Thanks in advance.

Since you're "controlling the presentation", why fixate that PowerPoint "must show the video"?
e.g. Show some slides; switch to a full-screen media element display for the video; then switch pack to the slides.

Hi Blaise,
Thanks for your response.
But, I am afraid I am not getting your statement "switch to a full-screen media element display for the video".
Can you please elaborate or share some code around? It would be really helpful.
T&R,
Shrikrishna.

Can't you "minimize" PowerPoint? And then display another window on top of it?
You're writing the code.

Note: I am dynamically inserting video at given path in my presentation.
|
|
|
|
|
I "noted" that ... and also noted it's "not working" for you.
Since this is not a "canned" presentation, there are no "rules".

What im trying to do is design and fuctions(not all) like Orange5 has on a main area(see the link of the picture). This field origionally filled with "FFFF" letters, and the user can write into this cells, and change the data on into by clicking the "write" button. Also i can fill this field by pressing a "read" button, it will read the data from EEPROM . My code on Microcontroller is ready, and i already know how to send/receive/write/read data from/into EEPROM to C#. But i dont know how to relise this on C# with this design and functions. Any help please..
