We had the same problems with a Flex 2/.NET 2 application. We where able to fix it like this:
1) From Flex 2, just pass Date objects (don't convert them, they'll be send as UTC Dates) 2) in .NET check the incoming DateTime object for it Kind. If it's send from Flex, it will be UTC 3) in .NET do waht you want with it (i.e. convert it to localtime and store it in a DB etc.) 4) prior returning any DateTime to Flex, make sure to convert it to UTC That works pretty nice for us.
