RE: [flexcoders] Re: About dates sent to a webservice. Is this correct?
Yep, it seems if you do DateTime.Now, it includes timezone info. If you do new Date(x, y, z), it doesn't (but you can probably add it). This is how Flex should work - if no timezone is specified, it should ignore timezones!! :-( -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kelly Birr Sent: 26 June 2006 18:18 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: About dates sent to a webservice.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: About dates sent to a webservice. Is this correct?
Yes - I think it's an issue with 1.1 In our last Flex 2/.NET 2 application we were able to correctly pass date objects between Flex and .NET The only thing you have to watchout for is to make sure that the DateTime object your return from .NET has its Kind set to UTC - if so, it should work fine.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: About dates sent to a webservice. Is this correct?
Title: RE: [flexcoders] Re: About dates sent to a webservice. Is this correct? This doesn't seem to work in .Net 2.0 either. I can send a date as UTC, but Flex still deals with it in the local timezone, so if we do: Alert.show(myService.myMethod.lastResult.startDate.month) We get the wrong month when the date is 1st, and our timezone is behind GMT. We have to remember to use the .UtcMonth etc. properties (which is likely to be the cause of many hard-to-find bugs in the future!).
