I tried in 2 ways.here below i am writing the the way through which i tried
TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.GetUtcOffset(Date.Now).To String()
DateTime.Now.ToString("zzz")
I tested the above functions by changing the TimeZones of my system clock. in these both ways i got the GMT time.but here i am facing once problem.its giving correct GMT time for some Time zones.but not in many of the time zones.here below i am mentioning some of those zones fo which GMT time not came correctly.

(GMT-07:00) Chihuahua, La Paz, Mazatlan-New

I'm using
Days = Dat2.Subtract(Dat1).Days
where
Dat2 = today
Dat1 = installed date
to trace the days of a program installed in user's computer.However, the user can changes the system time of his computer to a advancing date. How can I get a SNTP time from internet to solve this problem?

The Now() function in VB.NET returns date and time which is different from the system time that I see on the right-bottom on the notification bar. It is 15 hours slower than the system time. Has anyone ever met this problem? I'm using .NET 2.0.

How does one check to see if the system time is equal or not equal to a specific time? So, say I want to perform an action if your system time is between 6pm and 6am. Or something similar?

It shows this error: Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'Form1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.

I have an application that I'm writing that needs to run 3 different Timers. One that will run every 5 minutes, 1 that will run every hour and 1 that has to run once a day sometime after 5:00 P.M. I know that I can seperate the application into 3 seperate applications and use Windows Scheduled Tasks to perform this however I would prefer to have everything in 1 application and just run the different Sub/Functions off of the appropriate Timer. I'm trying also figure out a way to avoid 2 timers firing at the same time.
What i would like to do is tell the 5 minute timer to run say 2 minutes after every 5 minute mark in the our so the first one would be at 12:07 and then the next would be at 12:12 and so on. The hour timer should run sa at 12:20. The daily one run at say 5:31.Is it possible to use the System.timer or the System.Threading.timer in this way?

I am looping through a list of DateTime variables and have got the .ToUniversalTime variable. I want to find out from the list which is the closest one approaching Now.ToUniversalTime but am having difficulty trying to work it out I had it looping through like this but this isn't much good as I only want to return the one that is the closest approaching to the system time. If TodaysCard(i).eventDate.ToUniversalTime < Now.ToUniversalTime

Is there an event that I can handle that is fired when the computers system time is changed?
My program timestamps things, and I want to make sure the time is correct. So when the program starts, I will run a query (SELECT GETDATE()) from my SQL server, and record the difference, in seconds, between the SQL server time, and the time returned from NOW(). Then when I timestamp things, I will just adjust the time. I cannot run a query every time. But, if someone changes the clock on the computer, that would throw the timestamp off. So I need a way to know when this has happened, so I can recalculate the difference.

I'm creating a multi-threaded application (although it is not at the moment) which will be connecting to a large number of sockets. I've noticed when a connection cannot be made the connect timeout is rather large, so I am trying to make my own. Here is what I have come up with...
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
CreateSockets(2)
AssignSockets(0, "192.168.31.2", 80, False, False) 'shouldn't connect
AssignSockets(1, "192.168.1.1", 80, False, False) 'should connect

Looking at the timeoutOccured() sub, you can see I'm unsure of how to specify which index to set. Efficiency is important since this will be housing a lot of connections at once. Something else that just came to mind, would .theTimer.Stop reset the tick value on the timer?
